went out the other day and one of my friends dad got a shot @ a nice 6 point bull elk. it was approx 200 - 250 yards away broadside standing still so the hunter took aim fired and the bull dropped in his tracks. so we thought perfect than all of a sudden the bull like starts crawling and than manages to get up than he shoots at it 1 more time. later we went to look for the elk thinking its not far but boy we were in for a suprise. from were it was shot to the next 300 yards was a blood trail that u couldnt miss it was a very large one than all of a sudden he stops blowing the blood out and the only blood we can see is were it is being wiped off on the branches. we followed that elk blood trail for a solid kilometer according to the gps and still couldnt find him. no doubt he is probly gona die its just sad cause its was such a nice animal and now we cant find it.also were do u guys think the first shot hit maybe gut or something cause if u shoot a elk in the chest with a 300 winchester it dosent run a kilometer and more it just really puzzling cause he dropped in his track but its all over with now it just makes a guy think what went wrong.
