I stalked into 40 yards and let'er fly. Something went wrong. I hit the tree behind her.
40 yards shooting perhaps was what went wrong ?
I don't know if my sites were off or she ducked.
stop what your doing, and figure out what went wrong maybe ?
She was angling towards me near 40 yards. I thought it was 30 and put the 30 yard pin on her.
you like long shots, don'tyou ?
Those were my first impressions. As a hunter, I would scrutinze everyting that happened on your hunt, why those long shots failed, why your equipment failed etc.
As for the elk ? 100% legal and probably some of the best meat you will ever frickin eat ! I mean, seriously, thats PRIME stuff right there.
I've been elk hunting, I know what it entails. You filled your tag and took your first elk. Even though it wasn't the big bull, a fine animal none the less.
Congrats
