I've had three in bow range in the last two years, two in '02 that both came in straight on and presented no shot. The big one, 340-class, came in to 25 feet. The other, a 310ish animal, came to 18 yards. This past year, I finally got the angle on a low 260s animal (still have to get it officially scored), and killed him at 26 yards.

P.S. I'm talkin' elk, did I mention that before?
