Got this pic in an e-mail from a friend. I don't know anything about this pic, but it looks like a nice bull though.

Precision log falling! 
Staged photo or the real thing? Dunno why a tree couldn't fall on an elk... They fall all the darned time in a big windstorm...

I wonder what the sectional density is of a log like that...?

Ballistic coefficient would be low, as would velocity. I find when loading that particular "round" for elk, one has to allow for the exta drag on the branches. Windage can be tricky to judge. Practice is the key...

The hide is too thick on the head and the skull is tight against it.. most of the time thats all that is left is the head with hide still on it.. throw one out in the yard and see how long the hide will be on it... not counting dogs and such.
Uhhhh, I bet there are coyotes, bears, and maybe lions where that Bull lived...
Not being an azzz, just saying..
