Boy named Sue Date 9/12/2006 12:09:19 AM okay the above was BEFORE I read your sick elk story on the big game forum
you've elk hunted for how many years ? 7 ? This one was limping you said ? Had an infected bad leg ?
Sorry, 2 + 2 isn't equaling 4 for me on this one. You should be experienced enough to avert the combination of the stories you posted. I don't believe them, sorry man

40 yards shooting perhaps was what went wrong ?

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
