RE: Best place to shoot an elk??
admittedly i have never seen a lung shot animal run for miles, but i will say this.
a few years back i shot a 5by5 whitetail buck in the heart with a 30-06. didnt hit any bone. 45 minutes later that buck went down. creepy. i had a witness to this as well. honestly, if he hadnt run in a big circle i still may be out there looking for him, but honestly he was on his feet for 45 minutes after a heart shot.
still, he didnt go more than 400 yards all told, but im sure he could have
