Is it bad idea to dry to break a bull elk down by shooting the shoulders?
OK if you can hit them hard.
'Breaking the tripod' is a well established method for taking deer, but elk aren't deer.
A scapula provides a better opportunity for a deflected bullet than other placement. I've been on hunts with a couple of close calls involving shoulder deflections (.06 and 7mag).
I'm trying to think of a scenario where it is a better option than double lung shot but haven't thought of one yet.
