Title: 1st Elk
Post by: Eburg fisher on September 16, 2011, 04:38:12 PM: This is my first elk and I got it with a bow. 23 yds, got both lungs and clipped the heart. Took about 2 minutes to expire after going about ten yards and lying down. Yearling but he was the first legal animal I have seen since September 1st. A cow, I guess his mom, and then a crazy 5 by 1 bull my buddy was calling both came with in range.

He's not much bigger than the mule deer buck I got with a rifle a couple years ago but this was really something being that close and doing it with a bow.
