WYO Wapiti -"I just recently returned from an amazing elk hunt near the bighorns in Wyoming. The elk were in full blown rut and each sit I had at least three bulls within shooting ranges from 6-40 yds. I had to be held off several times by the Guide so I could shoot something bigger, and Wow was I glad I waited. The morning of the third day, I had already passed on 4 different bulls and spooked 1 while drawing. A mere minutes later, after I spooked the last bull, I had the bull I shot arrive. I was able to shoot him at 36 yds quartering away. The arrow entered around the last rib and exited just about 3" or so behind the opposite shoulder. I hit both lungs, when the arrow hit it sounded like a very sharp knife cutting several layers of papers (but exponentially louder). He ran only around 75 yards and dropped, but just before dropping he coughed up a blood spray that was indescribable. We only retrieved 3" of arrow, it was broke off sometime after immediate impact but other than that was complete pass thru. The blood trail, if needed, was like walking a highway of red blood. This elk was gross scored at 378", I truly love this new set up for Whitetails and bigger critters. I was using the 650 system, 320 spine with 200 grain maasai broadheads. Thanks for a great products!" - Gary Mills |
