Just like TD, I'd shoot the mulie a few inches left of the dot.
I missed the elk. Right at the dot, but over it's back. I always miss high from that close.

I picked the same spot on the muley. The elk has a nice sharp pointed line showing you where to put the arrow. I wouldn't put it back further than that, simply because they're probably gonna move a little when they hear the string drop.

I don't think I could have hit that elk if he was 5 yards away. I would still be looking at horn.

Passed him up?! I wouldn't hesitate for a second if it was first day, first morning, and first elk I saw. He would be in my freezer and on my wall    :goldtooth:

Jeff you could start applying for the rest of your life and probably never draw this unit. Gotta Love UT! But Ole' Steve might get lucky!

Whew, that second bull took my breath away.  What an animal!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

frassettor:

when you have uploaded the pic to photobucet and see among the others in youre album, you clic right and then choose the function "edit" you can then choose a drawing function, and mar a spot in the pic. Then you have to save it as a copy and then you can show it here the normel way.

Hope that is understandable.

I'd have to pass on both, I've only got my 40# bow with me and it's not enough.   :smileystooges:
