Elk Down!

[AlbertaJohn]

Well it wasn't my elk but my son's elk. Not a huge 6x6 but a nice 5x4.
He was chasing this guy all week but just couldn't get a shot at him until this morning and it was a good heart shot with a .338wm..
You know you guys can talk all about BC's and SD's and any other ABC's that you care to add but....
A 225 gr. Rem Core Lokt to the heart is good Elk medicine.

I'm not much for writing long stories so he's a few pics...

That's quite the heart.

How far did it go after that shot to the heart?

 

[AlbertaJohn]

That's quite the heart.

How far did it go after that shot to the heart?

It only went about 30-40 yards and then he ran out of gas.
