Title: 2013 elk
Post by: Stone Sheep on October 07, 2013, 06:47:00 PM
I killed this bull a little over a week ago on a backpack hunt. A few cow calls and a well placed arrow and he was down. The shot was a total pass through, and the arrow was buried about 10" into the hillside on the far side. I used a 64" 56# Black Canyon 2pc take down longbow and a douglas fir arrow tipped with a 160gr VPA three blade.  Total arrow weight was 620grains.

Complete pass through on an elk and a stick bow. Gotta love it. We definitely don't need compounds.

Kadbow, The only thing that I would have done differently regarding the bow is to order it sooner!! I shot the bull on the evening of day nine of the hunt and finished packing it out in a little snow storm. Good hunt.

The killing part sounds "somewhat easy", but the day 9 part changes that. And the snowy pack out part.
Good work.

Nice job.  Congrats on a great looking bull.  And if you killed him on day 9 I'd say you definitely earned him.
