The picture of that heart looks like the broadhead was a bit dull when it got there. :dunno:

Thats because my nephew and i proceeded to stick our fingers into the arrow hole a few times while examining the heart!!  :chuckle:  :chuckle:  :chuckle:  :chuckle:

I find myself doing that too :chuckle:  Looks a lot like my Thanksgiving retard from 1989 (one of my favorites).  That bull was tough to put down too.  Congratulations on the bull :tup:

WOW!  I can't believe it went that far and lived that long with a heart shot! 

I have killed several elk and a few deer with my bow.  Most all of them lung shots, however last year I shot my elk at 50 yrds right thru the heart.  He took a couple steps, turned back to look at me and immediately laid down.  20 seconds later his head fell over and it was done!  It was my first heart shot so I just assumed that was what always happened with a heart shot.  Lesson learned.  Thanks for sharing and congrats on your elk!!!   :tup:

grats nice elk that one side is fat cool
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

That's unbelievable.....   Not saying I don't believe you, but I just never thought an elk could go that far with a center punched heart.

I've seen them exhibit an incredible will to live after some poor shots (e.g. single lung) but I've never seen one take it to the heart and go all that far.

Congrats!!

I've never shot big game with a bow... But a mature Rocky Mtn bull I shot with my ML went over 125 yards up and down hill with no heart at all... Just a pile of mush... And a decent buck went 400+ with a heart blown in two from a rifle... That was cross hilling down slope..

The last 5 inches of my arrow busted off in his chest cavity, didnt find the front half.
