Congrats!

That blade angle on those Striker Mags is why I've never used them on an elk. But I'd try them on deer without hesitation.

I was planning on using Anihilators 150gr XL s, but I could not get them to an acceptable level of sharpness.

Next year I am going to try 150gr Trypans IF I get back to a 70# bow.

You should be proud (and I'm guessing pretty pooped out).

Let me know if you need any 150gr Trypans, I have a pack I'm not going to use.

You still using 100gr. ?

 

[5MilesBack]

I mostly use 125's, but I haven't been able to bring myself to put the Trypans in the quiver. I tried once before and couldn't keep the blades closed. I have a really OCD quirk where I'm always pushing my arrows as deep as I can get them into my quiver foam........even while I'm hiking at times. Keeps them nice and tight, but doesn't work so well with Rage.

I will try to get my Anihilators "spooky" sharp....I really think this head will blow through ribs and hold an edge....

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Congrats on finishing the job!
Good looking bull. Using that water bottle to treat him for dehydration should make the meat even more tender.

 

[Paul Cordova]

Awesome, way to be persistent. I lost two bulls on two different hunts which I thought were great ethical 40 yrd shots and never found them minimal blood. Hopefully I get my first Bull this year on the 2nd hunt in September. Glad you found him!!!

 

[Fallfreak]

Congrats on the bull and thanks for the story.

Good job and Congratz !!

Any elk taken with a bow is a great elk! Congratulations!

Congrats! I've hit mature whitetail bucks in the liver and one lung and jumped them the next day. I imagine elk are even tougher in that respect given their size. Way to stay on him and persevere through some really tough conditions. Well done!

 

[WoodrowCall]

Congratulations. Way to persevere!

Glad you found him. Congrats! No surprise on the arrow trajectory. Study the shape of the ribs. On a quartering too shot, it’s quite normal for that arrow to do what it did if you hit the front side of the rib on entry.
