Sure does look that way. Would be cool to see the other side.
Was hoping to, but she never turned.

Curious what makes ya think that. I would think that a cat would have left scratch and bite marks too. I was thinking either a gun wound, or a stab wound from a bull or branch. She will show up again and maybe get a peek at her other side.

I would guess arrow and the hair was licked off around it. Looks like it would go right through the meat and either between or through a feather bone.
My thoughts exactly, I would guess arrow for sure.

Hmmm, could be arrow, would think the hole would be bigger, or more triangular shaped though. :dunno:
I'm sure it probably was larger, and more triangular, 10 months or so ago.

That wound is in no mans land……right below the spine and just above the lungs. My guess is an arrow complete pass through or possibly arrow to the spine and broke off. Could also be a rifle wound….if that’s the case the bullet didn’t perform well at all because even a poor shot from a rifle would have had enough cavitation to destroy the upper lungs and possibly spine.Prob a 6.5 creed..... :chuckle:

Now you’ve gone to far!!! :o leave the creed…out of this. Clearly this was a west sided that doesn’t shoot enough and is got lucky to even find an elk from the cab of his truck. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Someone shot it with a rifle. Didn't hit vitals but shockwave paralyzed it temporarily so it dropped in its tracks. Shooter heads over to punch his tag and begin dressing it when it jumps up and takes off never to be seen again......until now.

Two years ago I hit a bull high in about that same spot I'm guessing. I found my arrow with about 6" broke off the end. I assumed it hit spine and snapped on impact. It ate at me for a long time and I sure hope the bull was able to recover. Hope this cow does as well.
