RE: Best place to shoot an elk??
manboy, it seems to me you must of taken an angle shot on that elk, and punctured one lung, for it to stay alive for 23min., i have shot many elk with a bow and all have went down immediately, and i even watched a couple of the bulls i have DOUBLE LUNGED go down right in front of me after impact of my arrow. I highly stress to take a double lung shot on an elk, and the animal will collapse rather quickly, no problem on this end with a double lung shot...RobinHood36...
