Manboy,
I put that scenerio a true one at that on this board I new I would catch flack for it.
I used a tool that was not up to the job,and as much as I can say is I took credit for wounding that elk and it has NEVER HAPPEND AGAIN.Again you were not there,I was with several well veterend hunters whom have been hunting for 80 years combined nolage(sp) and the only thing we could think of is I hit a rib and maybe a lung by the color or blood and the air bubles in it.When one elk get into a herd of 30-40 head that are moving out and split and rejoin and slit again,blood gets trampled under,brushed from the trees.I said snow where he was shot I did not say there was snow everywhere there was less than 2 in on the ground.If the snow would have stayed around the next 2 days I'm sure I would have found him,but when temps go from 30 to 60 in one day,(if call me bullsh!t on that as any MT how fast the weather chages)the blood gets washed away,we followed the blood as far as we could the first day,I new he 3 shots in him if not 4,new one was in the lungs some where if only nicked,the others I was just puting lead in o him as fast as I could.I lost that partly to the caliber I chose and the other is I should have neck shot him like you,but hey I'm not god and I'm certinaly not manboy.
So can call BS on this and insult me and my hunting ability all you wan't,cause for one I'm never going to be hunting with you and the other I hope to never meet a negetive,self centerd A-hole like you.No take that back I will not insult you,I appoligize for calling you a A-hole,but the rest stands.
So insult all you wan't,keep them coming,here on out you blocked I don't need to read you BS.
BBJ
