That well known hunter is ham canes and he and rogan are both guilty of getting so many untrained noobs into archery which results in poor shots like the pictures in this thread. Matt Rinella made good points about the instagram hunters.In 4 days of hunting the ND rifle season my group saw 3 wounded bucks from rifle hunters in 2 small areas. Bullets aren't magic and hunters toting rifles aren't magicians.
Women shoot elk every year with 45 lb archery set ups and light arrows. Nothing...and I mean NOTHING beats a well placed shot.
A well known hunter shot a bull elk this year with a 90 lb bow and hit it in the shoulder. Elk didn't die and needed another arrow in the boiler room to die. I firmly believe there's not a bow/arrow combo out there that can overcome a poor shot on an elk. There may be random exceptions but they are more luck than than anything.
