Took two headshots at a 5 point bull a few years ago with an open sighted sporterized Arisaka. First shot cut about 3/4 of an inch off the top of his left ear. The next shot dropped him like the hammer of Thor, got up to where he went down and no elk. There was no blood or hair, just the left antler from the middle of the brow tine up. My neighbor saw the same bull a few days later in his alfalfa, said there was a little ragged stump with part of a brow tine on the left side. I told my wife it wasn't big enough so I was practicing my "catch and release technique". Had to have been a hell of a headache. We looked the following day to make sure it wasn't a lethal hit and couldn't locate him. The day day after the season ended is when he showed up in the field.
