Heres a good one that shows a shot close to this angle. The bull is a bit more broadside but I thought it does a good job (especially in the slow me) of showing the shoulder blade moving in relation to the area of impact we are talking about.

Pretty gutsy shot given the brush.  The arrow nicks it as it passes..

Real world baby!  That's what separates hunters from shooters.

Very low percentage shot in IMO sir. Remote chance of hitting off side leg artery but that's about it; most likely the shooter will end up with a dead elk by gut shot, perhaps days later with minimal chance of recovery.

I know it's a deadly shot but I don't think it would occur to me in that situation

I've seen 3 bulls hit with that shot in the hindquarter area over the years, none intentional. Two died within 150 yards with a crime scene worth of blood & the third traveled over a mile away with just enough blood leaking to keep us on him, we finished him off nearly 5 hours later. Will that shot kill, yes it can but I would not intentionally take it even if it was the only part of a bull showing within my bow range, to high a risk of a lost animal. Just not worth it!

Not to :stirthepot: but let me just :stirthepot: ...

With the number of lost elk threads we see annually that stem from "perfect shots" I am going to say that that hindquarter shot is statistically on par with broadside shots.

Everyone seems to throw ethics out there but . A bull don't like to travel with a be buried in the hip pocket even if he can . A you g elk will travel to stay with the herd.

I hit a bull pretty far back last September.  He bled all inside and the shot was liver/gut.  He lived another 12-15 minutes but I was able to sight follow him until he bedded down and I stalked him to put one in him to finish it.  That shot wasn't as deadly as a heart/lung shot but like coachcw said, he was really sick and didn't want to move.

I hit a bull once in hi wind at 20 yards and got zero penetration with a 700 plus grain arrow and 90 lbs bow . the hit was liver . I watched that bull walk around a huge basin for forty five minutes with blood running off my arrow . luckily it was open country if it where heavy cover it could have turned out bad . after watching him bed up I snuck within ten paces and sent one through his lungs . he was able to scramble to his feet and cover fifty more yards . the only liver shot I will try and make is quartering   away where you get the liver and one lung that's a done deal. since we are on the topic I wont shoot a elk with a two blade bh either , I've seen the fatty tissue plug the arrow hole up leaving little to no blood trail .
