I've hunted turkey in your elk country. Beautiful country and a great bull. Way to stay with it.

Great bull, Congrats.

Any information with regard to the actual damage from the broadhead? Did it hit a artery or what?

Since we recovered the bull 24 hours later, we did the gutless method. And from the odor wafting from the entry and exit wounds, I was not about to open him up!

The bow I chose to use was a Sarrels Blueridge SR 55@28. I was shooting Beman MFX 340, with a 225gr Zephyr head. Total arrow weight was 605 grains.

I draw 29", the arrows are cut at 31". Added a screw in broadhead adapter to get the weight up to 225gr. The Zephyr was a Sasquatch that I had left over and it shot really well, so it was number 1 in the quiver.
