[QUOTE=elkhunter11;559065]I shoot elk until they drop,in fact both of my largest bulls were each shot three times with Nosler Partitions,one with a 7mmstw,the other with an 8mmremmag.Both were going to die very shortly after the first shot,but I kept shooting until they hit the ground.



Many pages back in this thread I expressed my concern over people equating "bullet failure" to an animal not dropping at the shot. When you hunt for over 30 yrs. such as myself , your going to run into afew animals(big or small) that are dead on the hoof and still makin for the county line I too shoot until they pile up ,to those who choose not too, is it arrogance that allows your concience to believe that every bullet is placed where you point. Oviously you've not run into Mr. Murphy yet!
