Buckshot

Heres a couple pics of my elk. It was shot in the selway bitteroot wilderness. Walked up on it with 5 cows, shot it at 60 yards with my 7mm-08 140gr Barnes XLC, bullet went thru both shoulders and dropped like a rock.




Heres my dads elk. He shot this elk at 500 yards with a 270 Weatherby Mag, 1 time thru the chest and another in the head. I spotted these elk at 9am and hiked back down the mountain to find my dad, finally at 2pm we were back up to where the elk were, snuck within 700 yards but the woods opened up and we couldnt approach any farther. Finally fog rolled in and were were able to get within 500 yards, Dad took both shots laying down, on the second shot the elk reared back and slid a couple of hundred yards down the mountain. Both elk were shot within a half mile of each other and a third bull was shot in between my elk and his. Had an easy pack only a mile down to the truck.
