Post by: MAVsled on November 26, 2009, 03:03:39 PM: 2009, 2nd day spike, in spike restricted GMU. Bullet entry point visible
2008 sunshine & blue skies, 3pt bull after 6 days with any bull tag. Settled for 3 point instead of tag soup. Broke a couple points off going down the rocks. Bullet exit point visible, entry near front of opposite shoulder.
2007, 3rd day spike in spike restricted GMU. Bullet entry in back of head at 80 yards off-hand as the spike ran through the pine trees. That's why antler tipped2side, skull fractured.

Post by: WSU on December 02, 2009, 02:13:39 PM: It isn't quite as he lays, but this is where my wife's first bull expired. Quite the fun deal to wrestle an elk out of the middle of a river.

This is the only picture I have of an elk as he lays. This is a spike I shot a few years back.

Post by: rosscrazyelk on December 04, 2009, 09:47:38 AM: WSU , love that pic in the water . And those are some huge spikes on that thing. How did you get it out?
Title: Re: Elk as He lays!!
Post by: WSU on December 04, 2009, 10:52:36 AM: We drug/floated it over to a little island where we could get it out of the water a little. The bank was really steep everywhere, so we quartered it up on the island and packed it. The good part was that it was probably the cleanest elk to ever be quartered and packed out.

Craig,

Where did that bull come from? Story?
Title: Re: Elk as He lays!!
Post by: IBspoiled on December 06, 2009, 10:45:23 AM: Here's my early archery 09 bull. You can't tell by the picture, but he is suspended off the ground by those viney maples. It was really hard to get him out. I used the gutless method and trying to roll him over was impossible. I was alone and worked at it into the night and part way into the next day. I had a 1 mile pack uphill. But all the work was definetly worth it. I was the happiest fat guy on the mountain.

Post by: WAcoueshunter on December 30, 2009, 11:03:00 PM: A little graphic, but truly "as he lays". The arrow entered at a 45 degree angle and cut its way back out...the broadhead was poking out through the hide when we found him.
