I shot this bull on Oct 3rd in the Rimrock Unit and found it had a broadhead buried in its right shoulder blade. It would be so cool to hear how/where it was shot with the arrow. It didn't act wounded at all, bugling and chasing cows like a normal bull in the rut.

looks like it was in the animal for some time. Was there a external open wound?

Yes, it was very clean. It looked similar to my bullet's entry wound.

because slick tricks will go through an elk shoulder?

it wasn't the broadhead, but the shot placement that failed on this bull.

that is a great bull!

Great bull. Congrats. That broadhead reiterates the importance of proper shot placement with an arrow. Especially todays light, fast arrows.

Dandy bull elk!!! Interesting find?

Thanks for the compliments. Best of luck to everybody for the late season...don't shoot them in the shoulder.
