Take the elk out of the equation and that is still a very tough shot. Being a mere one click off at that range and you will miss by 2.36". Now factor in breathing, wind, and hunting conditions...you are pulling a head shot out of your ass.
I still think he aimed for the chest and missed.
Tanner, that yellow steel hanging at Wolcott is a pain in the ass, and it is only 650yds if you shoot from near the gate. There is always wind there too. I have not hiked out to measure it, but I believe it is only 6-8" across based on my reticle. Do you know how big it is by chance? I am not 100% on that thing yet and it is only 650.
