Shot one and couldn't find it...:(

[herdbull33]

Was setup waiting for them to start moving. Suddenly heard some mews, bugles and a whole lot of shale rock sliding down. I made a move and took a shot on a moving spike. He wouldn't stop to my cow call. I hit him a little far back. Tracked his blood trail for 5 hrs then went back the next morning to find nothing. Would've been my first elk. I feel terrible.

Where are you at?  There is plenty of huntwa members that can help track.  If I was close to you I would be out now

Too bad he's not looking at his post, seems like a lot of guys out there could help recover that soon to be if not dead already elk.

#1) that sucks
#2) it happens
#3) keep trying, get help if you can
#4) learn from this - don't shoot at moving animals with a bow!

Im sorry to hear this. With the rain coming it is so important to get help right away. Those of us that have been there before know the feeling. Dont be to shy to ask for help. And please don't kick this poor guy while he's down.

[Fishstiq]

Anyone try sending him a pm or email?  Anyone have his phone # that can call him and tell him to post up here where he's at so folks can go help him?

Add me to the list of available searchers, depending on location.

i wasn't trying to kick him, I've been in his shoes before, as have most experienced bow hunters. I just see guys that want to help and I wish they could.
