Nice Elk!
That is acutally not true, a 200 meter shot right in the intestines will drop it like a rock, but by what you wrote i think you hit them in the legs when you track them that long. At least i have to when i shoot them in their legs, and a follow up shot is needed to kill them.Seiska wrote:

I've hit them stomach/intestines, with the .223 and they didn't drop. A second shot with the .223 will drop them, but after a long tracking and usually from 100+ meters away since I can never get close. Any shot with the .243 seems to work best for me. Or arrows, since they'll die eventually.

U dont have to track them for ages tho u just run straight at them. U can outrun any injured Bobcat. Even the slightest hit will cripple them and they move slower then your avatar can sprint afterwards. Just run them down and shot em if u catch up.

You don't have to track them far. Think shot placement
