Don’t shoot bone,keep it in the armpit at a (mostly) broadside angle.
It would be nice if he could find ammo with a premium bullet, like a Partition, mono’s, or a bonded bullet.
And yes, lots of elk are killed with plain c&c bullets, and lots of dead elk are never recovered. I find them almost every year around our high country place.
What would you suggest? I have also found dead not recovered elk, but I can't say any of them were because a .308 didn't do its job! Even with old green box, ammo. No way of telling with what caliber they were shot. Could have been a .22 or a 460 weatherboom. Shot placement.
