God bless you Dreamin. Bout time some fellers with elk savy start counteractin' some of this velocity craze what's been creepin' into elk camps with all the new blood slopped in from gun magazines tryin' to be outdoors magazines. Most of 'em's jus' afeared of recoil, so they stoke their magnums with lil' bullets, or choose a girl's gun to hunt with. Its these same fellers thet won't track a wounded critter cause they didn't see it react to their bullet. Musta missed, they figure. Duh! You newbies out there fergit all this shot placement bull crap an aim fer the roasts with a heavy-fer-caliber, well constructed bullet. An' fer god's sake practice shootin' offhand, kneelin', an' sittin'. Nuff said.
