Great thread and a beautiful bull Jason, congratulations again!!!

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Jason...Great story and pics. Could you tell me what kind of camera you are using. I'm in the market for a new camera to keep with me in the woods. I've used my old one for 25 years. Time for a new one.

Thanks everyone! I had almost as much fun posting the story as hunting the bull.....almost!LOL! Anyway the picture is a good one and the bull is very nice, but as far as score he is 285" - 290". He was very short on the main beam. He is a world record to me though!
Someone asked about the camera, it is a Canon powershot sx30is. Not an ideal camera to hunt with, kinda bulky, but not bad. I like taking pictures though so I put up with it.

Wow, 1/3 to 1/2 mile track job. Congrats on that alone. Why did you think he gave so little trail? I have yet to kill an elk with a trad bow and this kind of thing scares me. congrats on such a nice bull.

Not sure why he stopped bleeding after the arrow came out, other than he was moving downhill and the shot was a liitle high and back. In that senerio I would guess he was just filling up inside and the holes were at the top of the bottle, so to speak.
Thanks a bunch Randy and Tom!
