Lol youd be surprised how far an elk can move at 20 yards before your arrow can get there

I'm sure there are uptight smart ones out there somewhere.  I've just never met one yet :chuckle:

I did have one that thought he could back up fast enough...that was funny!

We should trade elk  :chuckle:


But you did hit the nail on the head (like usual)..not all elk are the same , some are dumb/smart and are alert/un alert

Get a smart/alert elk and neo wont stand a chance but a dumb one..well I think we all know the dumb ones dont make it very long lol

My bull this year swirled at least 30degrees before my arrow travelled the 25yards...I got really really lucky

I always thought if the situation arose, I would drive an arrow down the center of its chest, at the base of the neck. This video obviously shows him sticking it in the neck.  What is the real "point of aim" on a shot like this?
