Congrats. And for what it is worth, I shoot at slow moving game all the time. Its the beauty of the trad style.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Thanks for all the congrats everyone! It's really a fine community we have here.

I didn't take many pictures unfortunately. I'll have to next time. I was too wrapped up in the moment! My wife said I was "on" for several days afterwards, and everybody I told the story to I just wanted to hug! LOL

DanielB89, yeah, fist big game bow kill was an elk! My first elk in fact. I've shot mule deer with a rifle, and killed several squirrels with the bow, but this was my first elk... They are easier than pronghorns, that's for sure; and possibly muleys - which I'm going after next!

If I'm successful, I'll post that hunt on here as well - with pics this time!

I love to read about traditional archers taking their first big game animal. When it is an elk that's even better. I hunt mostly whitetails and feral hogs so keep those elk hunt stories coming. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your first big game animal.   :thumbsup:
