I have never seen a bull pack a good first hit very far. This assumes a relatively fast expanding bullet that was ,in my opinion, properly placed and the bull was not previously wounded.
Hit one wrong with the first one and they can become very hard to crunch.
I will say that a steep hillside can darn sure help them cover some ground going downhill and makes it seem like they traveled further.
That mirrors my experience. Although I would say a deep penetrating bullet shot into the front half has never resulted in a elk race for me.
And yes, elk go downhill very well............

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively... Having said that, MAGA.
