Bet you were glad you didn't shoot that second Elk!!

I had the same thing happen to me in Sept. Was on a Axis hunt, guide starts freaking out saying get ready get ready!! I through up my rifle and scoped the deer I told her we had passed up bigger the day before, then he walked into veiw and all I could say was Oh My God. I squezed off a shot at 200 plus yrds. Saw him drop right there. Then she says reload he's getting up, I'm fairly quick at reloading and follow up shots from my dog hunting days, as I was going to pull another shot she says don't shoot thats not him. I had 1 1/2 pounds of the 2# trigger pull pulled. When 3 large Axis bucks that were in the brush all fled and the one I shot lay there dead.

The buck scored Gold Medal in the record books and weighed over 200lbs.
That 85 gr nozzzler went in lung high front shoulder and was in skin exiting shoulder.
