On the Wasatch extended, seen a nice elk, made a shot but it might have been a little far back, or maybe forward, kind hard to tell, that last 6 pcak kinda made me a little jumpy! LOL!!
Anyway, it was a good solid hit, I heard the "whump" and then I went after it and found some good blood in the snow right next to the tracks. Tracked him for a ways (at least another 6 pack! HA HA HA!!!) and then it got dark. Went back the next day and picked up the blood trail, the elk must have circled because I ended up back where I started (I know because I found the other 6 pack I buried in the snow! HA HA HA!!)
Got confused from there (cna ya really blame me??!! HA HA!) and lost him. So I went a drainage over and found another one and killed it. Sorry, no bpics of it cuz I used them all trying to track the big one I hit first.
Anway, just wanted to post these pics to see if you think I will be able to recover it - do you think I may have hit it in the kidney or the renal gland? Can you tell from the blood? Also look how close the tracks are together in the last pic - maybe walking funny?
Any help or advise would be cool.
Here is the first blood I found:
Here is some more:
Good spatter
last drop:
tracks - see how close together they are? Cant go two far right?
"Pics or it didn't happen!"
