Advise about quality of shot at elk tonight!!!!

[bearpaw]

This is a great topic, the guy asked for advice, was given good advice, and now has an elk hanging, that is really great to see! Congrats to you and your wife!

Thanks, your effort has improved my day!!  Hanging from the tractor is also a big plus

Get yourself a couple Coleman Powerhouse Double Mantle white gas lanterns and do not leave an animal in the woods overnight unless it is below freezing weather.  The white gas lantern is still the gold standard when it comes to blood trailing. 

In western Washington rain washing all blood away is also a consideration.
