my dad head shot a cow elk @ 100yd with a 160gr 7mm mag. it dropped right there. he got to the elk, and one eyeball was popped out(he has pics). he forgot his knife, so he set down his pack and hoofed back the 1 mile to camp.
when he got back the elk was gone! said he followed its tracks for a while, lots of stumbles, falls, and thrashing. he lost the trail after a few hundred yards.
he said there wasnt 1 drop of blood on the elk, just the popped out eyeball.
it was the only elk he saw that year too!
