Never hunted elk with a bow.
Shot a nice 4x4 buck in MT in 1978. Baer recurve. 20 yards,broadside.
Sunset in a snow storm. Lost blood & tracks after 100 yards. Soaked,I came back in morning and found it 20 yards further. Lost half the meat and was so mad at myself I quit big game bow hunting.
My Pearson straight bow and the Baer were stolen off the passenger seat on my last move trip to NM in Barstow. I should have locked it when I hit the head.
Never lost a rifle hit big game animal. Eaten a few tags tho. Always lock my truck now.
Life lessons.
