First Bow Kill - 5 Point Bull Elk :) - Pictures inside
« on: September 26, 2007, 10:48:48 AM »
Here's my first kill with my bow.  A 5 point Bull Elk.  He came in silent to a cow in estrus call that we were using on a herd bull who was bugling in response.  He stopped at 16 yards but a very small branch was blocking the pocket.  He turned and faced me and then finally turned broadside giving me a clear shot.  My estimated time in full draw was 1.5 minutes.  The shot went through the bottom of the heart and he ran 86 yards and then I saw him pile up.  I'm REAL glad I passed on the spike bull the day before at 34 yards.  I got him west of Ukiah, Oregon.
