I wouldn't use the RAGE there are not stout enough. Go with the Muzzy or G-5.

Go with a well made 2 blade cut on impact. DON'T go with an expandable.

Cut on contact is what I always look for. I also look for an open blade design to minimize wind planing.

2 blade will give you better penetration, but I have found that 3 blade styles will give better blood trails.

My vote goes to G-5's or Razorcaps. Grain weight would depend on your setup...

guy on my elk hunt took his elk with rage 2 blade, worked beautifully, though I am a fan of fixed blade for big game like elk, i was using muzzy 3blades

though now I'm thinking on moose, elk, etc....a 2 blade cut on contact, perhaps w/blleeders would be a great option, for this setup i really like NAP razorbaks, dad's used em forever and loves them, they have rotating technology which may seem like a gimic but is suppose to help deliver a little more penetration/energy on target, whereas others waste that......dad has always dropped whatever he hit with them, no matter the angle etc...

always makes me sad to see someone lose an elk...especially when they could have made a small decision that would have have DRAMATICALLY different results...

we tracked a bull last year for 7.5 hours...hands and knees...AFTER we waited 1+ hours for him to bleed out, as we knew the shot was a little far back...

upon retrieval, was a decent shot, not as far back as the one above...so, cant really blame the expandable here, but then dont knwo where the entrance/exit wound is on this bull....but clearly bloated and more than likely wasted all the meat...

for me, shoot Muzzy's as they are TOUGH, but there are others that are just as tough, but agree with teh predominant posts, shoot TOUGH BH's these critters are NOT deer...
