Each day provides the opportunity for a new start. It just a choice. So; I often used as an aiming point, for my bullets path through the vitals, the off leg. This sometimes broke shoulder bones from high to low depending on that animal’s position. I tried to plan on having a bullet and rifle that allowed that to happen. I think that is a solid plan for elk. The anomalies in that plan were few and I was fortunate to be carrying a rifle and bullet that could handle them. Best regards gentlemen, F01
