Title: Rimrock muzzleloader bull with broadhead
Post by: havensen on October 26, 2013, 05:55:42 PM: 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.

i'll stick to my slick tricks :tup:
because slick tricks will go through an elk shoulder? :chuckle:
it wasn't the broadhead, but the shot placement that failed on this bull.

that is a great bull!

Post by: sakoshooter on October 27, 2013, 01:14:55 PM: Great bull. Congrats. That broadhead reiterates the importance of proper shot placement with an arrow. Especially todays light, fast arrows.
