[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1252776, member: 38154"] If the Elk is perfectly broadside, you might anchor the Elk by shooting through both shoulders, but you will lose a lot of meat too. I prefer a shot through the ribs (lungs/heart) when he is standing broadside. If he is quartering away, I try to aim so that the bullet will go through the lungs, and hit the off shoulder. This will result in a fatal lung hit, plus hit the off shoulder(hopefully), and anchor him there. Most importantly, when I fire the first round, if he is still standing, I keep shooting until he is down. A mortally wounded Elk can go a long ways. [/QUOTE]
