mc68 Report post Posted September 23, 2015 This is without a doubt one of the hardest things about hunting. Its a terrible feeling. Do all you can to recover him. If you have done that and feel its impossible then its your choice alone on what to do next. If you feel that you did your best and want to continue your hunt, do it. If you are too bothered by it and feel like that is your bull for the year then stop. It is a very personal thing when it comes to this situation and do whatever it is that you can feel at peace with. Whatever you decide, don't listen to haters on either view point, cause everyone has their opinion. I wish you the best of luck and am sorry you have to go through this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmbbulldog Report post Posted September 23, 2015 That bull will make it, they are tough animals and that's not a kill shot IMO. Don't beat yourself up over it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdub Report post Posted September 23, 2015 I won't. Thanks, I've killed a number of elk. This is my first time injuring one and having it mill around for days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
