This seems most likely to me. Animals sometimes go down and just aren't that motivated to get back up right away, perhaps until you come into view.
As for the bullet passing between the vitals and the spine, it's physically impossible. The lungs are literally suctioned to the contour of the...

Finding elk food in the Oregon coast range is mostly about finding where the sun hits the ground. This can be natural meadows (even small ones) or clear-cuts. Clear-cuts are by far the most common source of food for elk here. You do need to look for green, however, because some timber outfits...
Once you've hunted elk, you'll see the oxymoron. ;)
Honestly, you have to make the appropriate decision for your circumstances and budget, but it sounds like you need a kick in the pants to go for it. Then again, I may be about to go to Colorado for a solo mountain goat hunt, so my advice may...
Finally some wrestling chatter! I've been showing off this picture the last couple of days. My boys in 2019 at Oregon State with Canadian Olympic team wrestler Amar Dhesi.
