We had an outfitter Spike camp us in on National Forrest land in Colorado back in "the good old days" 1989. Although not monsters we went four for four with longbows.

Here are two of my favorite hunts.
This is for sure no way as fine as some of them bulls....But this was my buddy's first elk with his Black Widow.One slammer of a lead cow 362 pounds hanging weight,big girl... (http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii175/bowdocsarchery/elk002.jpg)
hey ferret, is that notch in the front bill of your hat for string clearance, haha
Sure is. LOL It seems to always be where the sun is too.
I didn't get one but came across this nice 5 x 5 in the woods. Dead for several days. Arrow had less than 6" of penetration.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v88/PowDuck/Bowhunting%20pics/CIMG0059.jpg)
When I pulled the arrow out it was obvious why so little penetration. Probably a long going away shot AND d*&^$ expandable head.

WHAT A WASTE OF A GREAT BULL.I WISH THEY WOULD BAN THESE B HEADS.J M H O.
I thought those thing were supposed to be the greatist thing since sliced bread.Assuming that was a quartering shot, placement is good It just goes to show you again PENATRATION and PLACEMENT are needed. I agree with 4-fletch those dam things should be banned,waste of a great bull.I can't help but get the feeling newbee saw elk video went tho store bought newest lastest greatest gear and went hunting. what a waste JMHO
back in my wheelie days, i shot a whitetail buck from a treestand with what was then the best expandable head out of a bow shooting 325 amo fps. I tracked it for what seemed like a mile with the most miniscule blood trail (no pass through) and found it laying down still alive at 20yds where i proceded to shoot again. (no pass through again) It ran off again. My dad then decided he would take the next shot at it. We went tracking again and found it laying down again got close and he took the shot this time. It was a quartering away shot at 25 yards and it hit low in the guts and went throught the chest cavity all the way through the front of its chest and exited. The deer just collapsed on its legs. My two arrows penetrated only about 5 inches one time and 2 inches the other. The broadhaed hit a shoulder blade and essentially exploded. Both of these were perfect broadside shots. My dad was shooting a Howard Hill 50# longbow with 165 gr Howard Hill broadhead that he had since the 60s. It still took me a few years to convert to traditional archery but I never used an expandable again.
Here's a little bull pod waiting for trad archer's only. There were 13 in the bunch, mostly raghorns but they will be wearing better horns this fall. Got this pic a little over a month ago. Where at? Trying to remember :D

Nice pics everyone.
I hate seeing that one bull dead and not recovered. Expandables aren't my favorite either. I have seen one I thing is much better than previous older designs. That is the Rage expandables. They seem to be a much better design. But thats way off topic...
nice pics everyone
ttt. for elk like these pic guys.
