Finally got a chance to read the story. Lots of details here that weren't in the verbal version of the events.
Love the ending!
Grizzly bear, bull elk.....what's next on the list of animals to wrestle?!

That's a nice looking elk Brambles and with a bow too.
And dare I ask what the make of that bow? Sure blends in.

I didnt gut him to find out what vitals i ended up hitting but what I do know is it looks like his shoulder was more back than I thought and missed the heart. I think i deflected a bit off a rib and kicked the arrow left.
After the shot he had 8" of arrow sticking out behind his shoulder
After we found him and finished him off there was 20"+ sticking out right beside his arse, with a giant clot ball. Him powering up the hill and slamming into deadfall drove the arrow almost completely through him lengthwise.

A quick 'net search had Moxie Archery taking the helm. The principle in Strother probably took a beating when Strother was sued.
And I see that Martin Archery has changed hands as well.
I'm getting the drift that the folks involved in Martin, Excalibur and other like firms are opting out for retirement.
Back to your elk and sorry for the derail.
