Countless Years

“After countless years I gained enough points and finally drew a Unit 27 Arizona Elk Tag. I have taken several trophy Elk and Mule deer with GrizzlyStik Momentum arrows and Samurai broadheads but I had my first experience where everything went wrong and I still recovered my animal. I had been working a big bull all morning but I could never close to within bow range. From nowhere, I got that sinking feeling as I heard another group of hunters calling to the same bull. The herd could feel a pinch and broke heading uphill. My frustration boiled over

As I was still fuming, this bull broke from below me and was going to run right past. This was my first time seeing him. I drew back as this bull passed at about 35 yards. He was really moving and I did not take the lead on him that I had hoped. The arrow disappeared as it struck his near side ham. The bull instantly started to buckle and he crashed down at 40 yards. Upon inspection, I discovered the arrow had completely passed through while breaking the hip and cutting the femoral artery.So many things went wrong in a very short time span and I was still able to recover this awesome 365+" bull. Thank you GrizzlyStik!” - Wild Bill
