Any information with regard to the actual damage from the broadhead?  Did it hit a artery or what?
Since we recovered the  bull 24 hours later, we did the gutless method.  And from the odor wafting from the entry and exit wounds, I was not about to open him up!   :scared:

Just got back from the Black Hills on vacation with my wife.  Wow, what beautiful country!  And man-o-man, what an elk!  Great trophy, great story.

The bow I chose to use was a Sarrels Blueridge SR 55@28. I was shooting Beman MFX 340, with a 225gr Zephyr head. Total arrow weight was 605 grains.

I draw 29", the arrows are cut at 31".  Added a screw in broadhead adapter to get the weight up to 225gr. The Zephyr was a Sasquatch that I had left over and it shot really well, so it was number 1 in the quiver.
