Lighter, flatter shooting bullets save more meat if the shooter applies common sense to their shot placement. Hunters here whack Elk, Moose, and Deer with head shots. THAT is how you save meat. Additionally, Elk are kind of dumb, clumsy animals that aren't particularly hard to sneak up on within 200 yards most of the time. Lots of Guys whack 'em with bows inside 50 yds here.
