Just one more comment.. We picked up our meat on Fri.. I had written to Mule Deer about the possibility of the Accubonds coming apart in the shoulder of the elk.. There was a soft ball size hole in the rib cage where one entered after hitting the shoulder, and a baseball size hole where the second hit after entering the shoulder.. I wondered if the bullets broke up with holes that size..
Mule Deer said that bone fragments could have produced that type of wound.. He was spot on.. We found the two Accubonds in the off side prefectly expanded.. 200 grain bullets weighted 93 gr. and 123 gr. Excellent performance..MD thanks for your help..

Congratulations.
I had a late season cow tag that I was unable to fill. Hunted 10 days and never cut a track. Tons of snow, very difficult to get around.
In the area I was hunting, the winter range is across the border in Idaho.

mc, these late winter hunts can be great or super tough.. I have had several of these tags that went unfilled.. Good luck on the next one..
