Thank you guys for the nice words.  To answer the question about penetration, I hit him near the shoulder area.  It didn't hit bone but there is a lot of muscle right there.  It penetrated both sides, but the arrow didn't completely pass through.

Highcountry, people around here are still laughing when I tell them about the pack out story.  Thanks again for all your help.

Congrats on such a hard earned bull. Thanks for sharing such a great story. Elk hunting is in the near future now that I'm retired, but first I have a Moose itch that I have to scratch.
