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...

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...
