RE: Who takes this shot on an Elk
HAHA I took a 336 yard shot at a buck last year with my 30-06 with a 3x9 scope and dumped him in his tracks... So if its season and I have a tag... a 105 yard shot is nothin.

this is my opinon,but I don't think anyone should be taking a shot at a live animal in that circunstance,no matter how good they are at the range shooting targets.I know people should use their own judgement bases on their own skills ,but if I witnessed someone taking this shot I don't think I could keep my mouth shut.

70 yds. You would shoot at an elk? I hope not. That animal is way to big to take a shot at that distance... You nail him in the shoulder. Then what. It's just not worth it, ethics 101.

While I see your point, that shot if the archer truly is capable is probably as high probability as a 50yd shot on a whitetail.

Heck guys, there are guys taking these shots routinely in AZ on Coues Deer, equal to a yearling doe in body size back east. Ethics back east are much different than ethics in the west when it comes to what is acceptable in bowhunting.
I personally wouldn't even have the arrow out of the quiver until I cut that distance in half, THEN the stalk begins.
Jeff summed it up pretty perfectly in my opinion as well.

"trying to judgemental" Not sure what you are saying there friend, but all I was saying that any properly mentored bowhunter would not consider that a ethical shot.

RE: Who takes this shot on an Elk
I don't take that shot. I got into bowhunting because one of the reasons was I wanted it to be up close and personal so I limit my shots to 25 yards or less. If I want to shoot farther I'll just pick up the gun again.
