Alamosa -
Apparently you took the "Lost my elk" title of the thread in ways I never my imagined would be done. Those three words were chosen for simplicity and because they very succinctly provided a wealth of information to potential readers, albeit with a modicum of inference required, to wit:
1. I recently went on an elk hunt. 2. I had an elk tag. 3. I saw elk. 4. A shot opportunity on an elk was achieved. 5. I took the shot. 6. The elk was hit. 7. The elk was not recovered.
That is a lot of information to be conveyed in three short words totaling nine characters. Perhaps you would have chosen a different title considering the original post was a summary of the entire hunt rather than just about the cow. After re-reading my original post I still feel the title summed things up pretty well and was entirely appropriate.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
