And allows the opportunity for more difficult angles. Only occasionally have I had elk stand broadside and pose for me.

Agree completely.

failed bullets? a picture of a failed bullet [ on the right] the rest are premium bullets that were recovered because the angle was severe and the bullet stayed in the elk or moose. the bullet on the right was against the skin of a bull and was healed, no idea how long the bull had carried it before i killed him, but it had to be over a year. it is a 30 cal
