Someone posted this article in a different thread.

Its funny. I wasn't around when Milek was writing, so most of what I knew about the guy was what other (later) writers said.

I've read at least a few writers discount Milek's use of the 25-06 on elk because he took head/neck shots.

But after reading this, it looks that was not the case.

Anyone know where the head/neck shot thing started?

Did writers get away with statements like that because Milek wasn't around to defend himself?
