I hope this post can help ease someone's mind. I have been the person in the past that made an ethical shot on an elk and thought I had tagged out......only to find that when I approached the spot where the elk should be..... I found nothing. It was a gut punch in the worst way.
This past weekend my son and I were hunting in ID unit 39. He tagged out on a 5x5 young bull. when caring for the meat on the mountain we found an arrowhead logged in the left front quarter pushing through the bone. I thought of the archer who probably was sick to their stomach earlier this fall thinking they made a perfect shot and tracked a bull for hours only to come up empty handed. Sorry. I hope you know your efforts weren't in vain and the bull wasn't a waste
Instead it made for an amazing experience for my teenage son. It was his first bull elk. He is on cloud nine.
