My Idaho 2024 archery elk is complete. Opening weekend, the bulls were talking, but not coming to calls. I found this bull alone at 9400', while still hunting through dead fall and timber. I spotted him at 35 yards facing me. He turned a bit and gave me a pretty good broadside shot. He was down hill, so I held low and released. He didn't know what hit him, and looked away from me. The shot looked good, and I nocked another arrow. After 15 seconds he didn't go down, so I hit him again. He took a few steps forward and looked downhill away from me. He began to wobble and his back legs gave out. He stood back up and walked 10yards down hill wobbling. When he didn't go down, I hit him again. The last shot wasn't needed, but I don't like watching suffering.
Shot with my 80lb Lift, 501gr RIP TKO w titanium outsert/collar, and 150gr Valkyrie BloodEagle. I like this arrow setup. All shots have been a full pass through on my last 2 bulls. The broadheads were still sharp enough to put in the quiver for another bull.
