Thanks Jerry
Yes , a lot of lessons learned , the hard way , but with a happy ending, It is a lot tougher for it to happen on an elk because of all the time and expenses involved in it, but it is not a good thing to leave a wounded animal , not even one that will have died.

I still have a cold and a coughing that doesn't stop , my wife says the deer will hear my coughing for a mile, but time is running out, and the bucks are fighing and breaking so , hopefully persistence will pay itself and I can redeem myself with a better shot
