Nice bull but good grief that has to have a ton of damaged meat. You're a young man with a lot of hunting ahead.. slow down and don't take risky shots. Had you takena little moretime on the first shot he would have been dead meat. I've shot plenty of elk and seen plenty of elk killed with a lot less firepower than a 338. The last thing you want is a bull wandering around with a danglingblown off leg (which I've also seen). Respect your prey.
