so tell me, do you shoot 3d shoots? I love em myself. and the targets these days. I like the Rhineharts personally. arrows pull so nice, and I like the looks of em. one of these days, that Big Jim is gonna have a blemish elk target when I have a bit of cash laying around, and im gonna snatch it up. most of the tournaments around here use those targets, and we score em 12-10-8, and 5 for non vital.
on this particular shot, I hit the 12 ring!!!! I LOVE it when I hit the exact spot im looking at.
now for some reason, and I have no idea why, I got really, really excited when I drilled the bull and even yelled a bit. that kicked him into overdrive and he ran off hard. probably not the best thing on my part, but damn it, I was excited!!!! and, any direction from where we were was closer to a road then he started from. the most impressive thing about the trail wasn't the blood, but the tracks. he was running so hard he left 3 inch deep tracks all the way. if it was open enough you could have followed em through the binoculars for miles at a time.
at one point in his sprint, he went down a very steep hill and at the bottom was a fence. it was over my head, and even mortally wounded he cleared it easily. normally this would have really made me nervous, but he was actually laying maybe 40 yards past it. heres the fence..
heres a close up, if you look close perhaps you can see the blood im pointing at. what a jump for an almost dead animal.
I do realize yelling probably wasn't my best move, and I don't even know why I did, as ive never reacted that way before. but the trail was maybe 150-200 yards, all in a sprint for the elk, and as I said before he fell just past the fence leap...
