we went and got permission, and when we came back another hunter was loading up his cow elk
they had run up onto a bluff of jack pines in the middle of the field
so my nephew and I walked up there for a looky see
we no sooner got to the bush when we came across a dyeing cow elk
so I finished her off tagged her and my nephew walked around a bit found another one dyeing so he finished her off and tagged her as well
both cows had a 7mm caliber bullet in them
when we dressed them out
this was a bad case of heard shooting and not placing the bullets properly
if my nephew and I hadn't of gone up there looking those two cows would have perished needlessly and no one would have been the wiser about it
the other hunter had not placed his shots, was just shooting ,
it was an easy hunt for my nephew and I ,
but stuff like that really turns me off of other hunters
we both were shooting 308's at the time ,
so the bullets in the animals were quite easily calibrated at 7mm calibers

These kind of stories make me sick. Really makes me loose a little more faith in humanity every time. Good on you guys for doing the right thing.
