After well over 40 years of doing that exact thing, and knowing many hunters who do the same thing also, i will add this comment.
If the elk had hobbled away crippled we would have never seen the video. You call it your way and ill call it mine when it comes
to what cartridges to use for that type of hunting.

Yeap, and not to mention that any DNR infraction in CO is felony.

243 is legal for Elk in CO,
it does not matter how much the hunter weighs,
shooting from a standing/kneeling position, the body will swing with the shot and felt recoil will be minimal,
in the heat of the moment she will most likely not feel any recoil, that does not mean that she will not get a scope-eye (no pun intended).
