Montana Elk Eye to Eye at 1-Yard

[mtmybackyard]

Take a look at this little video I put together tracking and elk with my hunting buddies.

Our original shot was just before dark. We thought the shot was good and even though it was dark, we checked the area an hour or so after the shot but heard the bull still thrashing so we suspected the shot was not as good as originally thought. We decided to simply wait until early the next morning to give the animal time to expire and not push him further away..... Well, watch and see. Let me know what ya think....

Very cool video. Things could have turned bad quickly.

That bull was probably only a short while from dying since he barely flinched from the finishing arrow. Great job on the recovery.

Wow! That brings back memories! I had the same thing happen to me on my first bull, except I shot him with a rifle and he actually got up to his feet! Awesome video and welcome to the forums!
