Do either of the first two shots on those bulls look too far back. I just started archery hunting and wasn’t sure. They’re obviously both dead so maybe the kill area is bigger than I thought. 🤷‍♂️

Not at all. Hugging the crease is asking for trouble. I like 6" behind the crease. Middle/middle is a dead elk every single time.

Agreed with Karl, unless i'm within 20 yards and he's fully broadside I'm aiming about ~6-8" back from the crease and going for the double lung shot which is just as lethal. Save this image attached - It shows you how large the vital zone actually is. Its helped me plenty of times when trying to figure out where my arrow landed

On the second bull, which is mine, he was slightly quartering away from me so even though it looks back the broadhead exited near the front shoulder on the right side.

This is funny to me because right after the shot I had assumed I hit leg bone, as my shot looked too forward! The arrow did something funky, broke off on the way out, I found only shaft and head no fletching. I could have held 6” back and had a dead elk AND a good arrow! Lesson learned.

I agree with you, and disagree with those who say to shoot farther back. The chest is quite small compared to the gut in all ruminants, and the heart and great vessels are VERY far forward. Shoot for the apex of the "V" of the scapula and humerus.

Recently got a tcam pic that shows the bone structure pretty well for shot placement .  Congrats to the successful elk hunters so far!
