How many hunters actually necropsy (like autopsy) as they field dress and cut up for transport? There is a lot to be learned about both anatomy and the effect of your shot if you follow it through the elk and see what it did and how it performed. Takes the guesswork out of it. An inch or two in one direction or another can make a difference in what was hit inside. If the aorta versus just double lungs the instantaneous effect can be significantly different. Angus is trying to explain this.
Angus, are you a veterinarian or animal physiologist or something? A person has to have a medical or biological background to keep up with your discussion.
