guys here have shot elk and deer in rifle season and skinned them out to find 5 or 6 inches of shaft and a broadhead. i know of at least 4 cases within the last 4 years here. this year one hunter shot an elk in the head and put the bull down then walked up to it and the old boy got up and took off. a day later another hunter who was camped close by shot the same elk and dicovered a bullet wound on the bulls face. aweful but at least he was put out of his misery
