Cap,
Jeeez man! Try to keep up will ya?
If Swampwater is shooting elk by the "hundreds" I am sure the poor guy is too busy running from wardens to be bothered with the details of killing them. If he is taking them legally then he must be on the road every day of the season to get to different states and he must have a terminal case of writer's cramp from filling out applications.
Show a little compassion will ya??
As far as stopping an elk from going downhill after the shot - I don't think it can be done. There is something in their genes that tells them they must find a steep walled canyon to die in.
