Gabby ROCKS my favorite old western movie sidekickTook my Elk in AZ with my .270 Nozzler Partition bullet one shot at about 150yds don't recall the bullet weight but I think it was the heaviest they made back in the late 1980's, I waited a while after he walked into the thick timber, then followed him and found where he had gone down and left a lot of blood, I took a few steps and caught movement from the corner of my eye. I stopped and watched him go down, he would sag then jerk his head back up, but every time he sank deeper, shortly he didn't come up any more. I didn't want to shoot again because he was behind a large log and only his head and neck showing and I didn't want to frighten him into running so I just quietly watched him die, He scored over 300 and has a prominent place in my home. I look at "Alpha" nearly every time I'm in the living room where his mount overlooks everything he is a beautiful 6 by 6!
There is more to the story but I've hijacked this thread long enough.
Damn good eating too, beats beef for sure!
