The heart and lungs of elk are covered with an elastic lining that is similar in strength to 1" armor plating!!! They are damn neer impossibly to kill short of useing a cannon........or, armor piercing bullets from an /06 will work. Plus the heart and lungs are only 2" in diameter combined and that's why a cannon works best because that way you can hit the elk in the ass and the sheer shock will still completely blow the front end off of an elk taking out the heart and lungs. Good luck and be prepared to track at least 30 miles even if the head is blown completely off because an elk will still run based on muscle memory instinct alone. ☺

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
