spike down! story added
« on: September 08, 2012, 08:11:39 AM »
Shot one yesterday.  Story to come later here's a pic to hold you over.
  I was walking the ridge slowly when i heard elk coming off to my right and slightly behind me.  I see him coming all by himself through the thick stuff.  I pick a shooting lane out in front of him and guessed him to be 40yds out when he got into it.  when he got into he was facing me and I got busted he side steped enough to where i had a shot quaterd to me slightly.  as I shot he whirled to the left and my first shot hit back in the liver and came out in the guts :bash: :bash:.  I gave him an hour before I started the tracking job.  I made it about 200 yards and found him still alive in a bedding area.  I snuck in to 32 yds and found a small window and shot him again (this is the arrow sticking out of him high in the shoulder in the pic) after I shot he got up in his bed and just stood there so i let him have it again.  Then he fell over right where he stood.

If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.
