Always good to have elk in the freezer.

Good job on the cow. Takes some kind of low life to take the ivories, though.

The hunters did know it was a bow kill as the other hunter who helped me pack the elk ran into them and they told him so.  It wasn't really a big deal to me, I just found it kind of surprising when I opened her mouth.
 Biggamefish,  no I don't sell the ivories but I did have a real cool ring made for my wife with my first set of ivories.  Its just something a lot of elk hunters collect from their kills.  They are not teeth but actual ivory like a tusk.  I have heard that they are the remains of an ancient time when elk used to have tusks in the mastadon era but have no idea if that's true?

Nice job brother!! I was waiting to see the story on here. What model broadhead did you use? Hope to skewer a WI whitetail this weekend with a big ole treeshark!!

Used a glue on simmons safari with a steel adapter for a 265 grain killing utensil.

Did your autopsy find the reason for death?...did ya get the jugular?

Over&under-sorry i missed your question earlier.
I don't believe I got the jugular but probably a smaller vein and the windpipe?  The blood trail was a steady trickle with no spraying and her mouth was filled with blood yet the arrow never entered the rib cage/ lungs.  Not an expert but jugular hits front the past have had mass amounts of blood and spraying?
