There was no blood. The elk did get up and move around, but was in a 50 yard circle for the 10 hours. The elk got up in the evening and the last they saw of it was going over a hill a mile away. They went and tried to see the bull again but he probably crossed over to another ranch. They have been there 5 more days and have not seen it again.

Every effort has been made to recover the bull.

We try very hard to take proper shots. If you do not get the right shot, you do not shoot. The elk was broadside and turned to face him about the time he released the arrow. He was not sure were he was hit.
