Awesome pic. Man what a great example of perfect timing. Thanks for posting the pic.

seeing the dust behind the elk and the way his back legs are I think this is his second jump after the shot and the arrow isn't passing through but instead just sticking out of him. This would then let the arrow flop around and why the arrow appears to be traveling uphill on exit.

 

Although in regards to an arrow not passing straight through... I had an arrow pass through and elk and do just about a 90deg turn out the other side after clipping a rib on exit so I can believe it if it is a pass through exiting upward. Stuff happens fast.

 

In any event it's an awesome picture.

I agree with Jim- double lung. An arrow will most likely take the path of least resistance (as most would know). It could have deflected off a rib and angled up. As some are behind the shoulder and end up who knows where when they exit. Regardless, I don't think this bull went very far. Sweet picture!

What if the date is correct??? There are several states with elk hunts going on at that time???

This bull was shot on a ranch in New Mexico, a friend showed it to me before it was posted here.
