Post by: MLBowhunting on May 18, 2015, 09:28:53 AM: I would let her get broadside. I am not a huge fan of quartering too shots but they can be done.

Clarice Cow would have to be motionless, under 25 yards, and have no idea I was in the state for me to take this shot. That said, I'm probably waiting on this one for a better shot. Such a tight window. Don't forget the ">" when taking any shot on an elk.

Post by: High Climber on May 18, 2015, 08:41:02 PM: That's a low percentage shot IMO. For Most shooters that will end in a slow recovery at best and more likely a lost blood trail. :twocents:

Post by: Vandal44 on May 19, 2015, 05:04:27 AM: Thats a difficult shot past 25 yards, she is quartering toward the camera pretty good. I would wait for a better shot on this one. just my opinion. I would NOT rail someone for taking it.
