When hunting, particularly bow hunting, we play the percentage game, whether we like to admit it or not.take your shots that result in the highest likelyhood of producing a humane, fatal shot. If you duplicate that shot ten times, you would get that result once (that is only my opinion, I know that). As evidenced by the video, he did indeed hit a lung and got it good. The guy in that video was lucky as hell he had a blood trail to follow. And anybody I know that bowhunts, me included, does not take that shot. I have no doubt the original poster has taken his elk in the manner he stated.but as we say in the south, I don't fry my fish that way. I don't want to get sideways with anybody on the forums, including him.There is just too much evidence to the contrary from folks in the field like us. You ever going to man up and apologize for the slanderous lies you posted?
Kudos to him and I would have taken the same shot. The guy that shot that bull has probably shot dozens of them, obviously knows what he is doing and placed a perfect shot. I understand that most hunters aren't comfortable with it and couldn't hit a cantaloupe sized target at 20 yards. If you aren't comfortable with the shot, don't take it. The hunter picked his shot, placed it perfectly and harvested a dang nice bull. The issue is, most guys aim for center mass and hit the sternum. Think about it, you have the heart, lungs, liver and MANY major arteries going from front to rear on critters. I have also taken numerous deer with frontal shots between the sternum and scapula. The arrow took out the heart, a lung, the liver and several major arteries before sticking in the hip. I even took a big black bear with a frontal shot. They don't go any further than a two lung or heart hit. I'd rather hunt with a guy that can put the arrow where it needs to go when it counts than one that waits for that perfect shot and still blows it.not like those are the only two options.How many elk have you killed with archery equipment? I have killed at least 15 with stick and string, from every angle you can shoot them and still hit vitals. Found him way too late to recover any meat. Called a in bull to a dude that did that. It's certainly a lot better shot and throwing the arrow into the high lung area on a broadside shot. Result is the elk lays down and pumps out instead of runs. A perforated diaphram pumps blood back and forth from thorax to abdomen a lot better than it moves air in and out of the wheezer. Top that with a high likelihood of poking a hole in the diaphram and that bull is toast. Stem to stern or a steep angle in one lung is the same depth and width of wound channel in a really vascular area. The statement that they don't go any further when hit in one lung instead of two (with an arrow) is the biggest load of horse manure I have seen posted on this forum in awhile. Well, the fact that you have killed at least 15 with a stick and string indeed makes you an authority on marginal shots.
