I've killed plenty of elk and fully understand their kill zone, those were still poor shots. Killed him yes but still poor shots. I've killed with similar but I wouldn't be on Rokslide promoting my shitty shot and twisting it to say it was actually pretty good cause he died quick.
Good call. Down* would be a better statement.
It's not even my elk. I don't care where the shots hit. But a shot that is "too" high for "too" far back does not result in dead elk like that is all I'm saying. I never said they were good either. But they are clearly in the vitals, and devastating to the bull.
What I gathered from your post is that poor shots kill elk, but they're poor shots and the elk is dead. Right on!
Bingo! It’s clearly dead. Would have loved to have seen what the damage ending up being.
Agreed. What isn’t speculation is that died faster than any “shitty shot” or “gut shot” should take to kill an elk.
Yeah. I honestly didn’t think I was going to have to prove that the first shot was better than it looked. That was the point of sharing it lol. I pointing out that the elk died extremely fast, which isn’t the standard result of a poor shot, yet people still claim in to be lol. Elk have big vitals. Put a bullet in them, and they die fairly quickly.
Haha oh I don’t care at all honestly. Not like I get anything from it. I just started it because I was always searching for terminal performance videos of different bullets and there wasn’t a collective place for them that I could find.
Right exactly!! And you for sure didn’t need the second shot either. Buck would have laid there and died in a matter of seconds. But since you did shoot it again, now it was poor performance because it took two shots
hahaha.

The majority of hunters are extremely uneducated on bullet performance. Hopefully some people get enlightened by sharing the results, but I don’t think it’s making a huge dent on the general population of hunters.
Oh me too man. Mine wasn’t on video. But I shot a big buck and “stoned him”. But I saw another video of a dude dropping a buck and it getting up 20 seconds later and running off. So that was in my mind.
Small technicality. Unless there is a bad thing going on (blood/air/fluid in the chest cavity), the lungs always touch the chest wall. So inhalation or exhalation a shot right below the spine is in the lung with some margin for error as being in the spinal column is an incapacitating shot.
