DotShot Report post Posted September 17, 2007 I headed up to Camp Navajo near Bellemont last thursday in pursuit of my first elk with a bow. I was fortunate enough to take this cow on Saturday morning at around 0610. The shot as you can see was just a tad far back but the angle she was at allowed for a liver/lung shot. The arrow did not pass all the way through which made for a less than stellar blood trail, had i not seen that the arrow was still in her after the shot and decided to slowly trail her as she moved away i probably would have had a heck of a time finding her. Anyhow, as this is my first elk with a bow i can safely state that i will probably never hunt elk with a rifle again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DotShot Report post Posted September 17, 2007 Great job! Nothing like ground checking an elk. BTW what broad head were you using and how far of a poke was it? I was using a 3 blade Muzzy 100gr at a distance of 58.5 yards, my only guess as to why it did not pass completely through was the distance coupled with hitting a rib on entry and a rib on exit.
