Glad you folks all like that trailcam pic! It was the only shot I got in 5 days, but it is my best trailcam pic to date!

I'm still hoping for an opportunity to let the air out of that nasty bugler!

pete p...I took your advice and entered it in cuddeback's photo contest.  Thanks for the suggestion!

I killed this Roosie spike back on Sept. 2nd., Saturday evening about 7:15 PM. There was a 5X5 herd bull that I might've been able to slip an arrow into, but the spike gave me a cinch shot and he's gonna eat a whole lot better than that old bull would've, so I'm real pleased.

55#@28" Qwarf recurve, Bear "Black Bear" riser, Quinn Stallion limbs; CX 200 carbon arrow; 2 blade Muzzy Phantom; 3-4" parabolic 4 degree offset Plastifletch vanes. Total arrow weight, 388 grns. Twenty two yard downhill quartering away shot, complete pass through; 194 FPS.

Arrow hit dead center right side last rib, exited left side just in front of the front leg. Bull went 10 yds. Took out liver, diaphragm and lungs. 44" wound channel.

     

These elk were never spooked. After I shot the spike, I watched them feed away to the north and snapped pics while I was letting the spike soak for a few minutes.

   

   

It was getting dark so I got back to my chores. Had him cut up and bagged by 10:30 PM. Packed out head, backstraps, tenders and one shoulder. Went back at first light for the rest after catching a couple hours snooze. All in all a very satisfying experience. The only bad part is, now I don't have an elk tag and there's still better than two weeks of season left. Dang!

Love that picture Ron, that's as good as it gets...

Well after probably twenty blown stalks and a couple missed shots I finally connected this afternoon. Pretty boring story though. I worked a herd of goats all morning and watched this little guy get thumped royaly but the herd buck. After finally spooking the main bunch off I went to get some chores done. On the way to pump water for a bunch of cattle we brought in because of the fires in the area I spotted him again bedded across the river in some tall grass and below a little bank. Circled back around across our bridge and got above him. Crawled thru the tall grass and slipped a lucky arrow in from 25yards out. Took out his liver and he only went forty yards, my second shot spined him and that was pretty much it.
   
Widow Longbow, Arrow Dynamics carbon and WW broadhead. One disturbing thing was that on the spine shot the Woodsman went practically thru the spine but the broadhead adaptor broke off at the back of the head. This is my first experience with screw-in points but I think this cowboy is gonna be changing to steel adaptors for sure.

Doug, Nice goat!  I'm glad to hear that fire is calming down too.  

You might want to try some of your forged heads with a thin tang epoxied into carbon insert or slotted steel adaptor (holes to get weight doown with steel BHA).  I've been playing around with these...total weight of both round 250gr.  Jeff

Alsea and Doug, great job. Liver shots always wipe them out. I'm sure that young meet will eat well. Great pics too.
