Nice job Joe.  Did you do and autopsy to determine the shot?  Liver?  Just curious because elk are so big that they are deceiving.  Thanks for any input Joe and congrats on a fine elk.

EXCELLENT Joe!!! Sweet bull!
You know, you may be disappointed in your shot placement, but it happens to anyone who spends a serious amount of time bowhunting...

The fact that you followed through with the Knowledge and Woodsmanship it takes to know when to let it ride out for hours before pursuing (after marking your shot), as well as tracking it down & taking care of business, gives you full license to be ear-to-ear proud, Buddy...and I see no reason for any apologies...

Fantastic!!!!!

Joe, when you start building on to your house to accommodate the trophies you're piling up, let me know...I'll bring a nail gun and some ladders!

The arrow hit the last rib on the right side, caught a bit of the near lung, then back through liver and out on the offside hip.  I swore that he was broadside at the shot, so am thinking the rib deflected the arrow back.  Lots of blood inside, but the high hit didn't let much out to hit the ground.

Congrats Whip ... you are one heck of a hunter, great short story and that is a beauty of a bull.
As I like to say, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, but I think your both !
