First off, congratulations on a fantastic looking elk. I am somewhat surprised that none of the rounds passed through but then I have never hunted elk with a muzzleloader.

What kind of expansion did you get out of those big powerbelts? This is real interesting because it is first hand information. The double lung I am sure would have been fatal, but that just shows you how tuff those critters are. Two rounds in him and still trying to get back up....

Congratulations again.. you will be eating some great elk in the coming months....
