Pick A Spot - Your Shot

Widowmaker2 · Jun 11, 2006

LAST EDITED ON Jun-11-06 AT 01:08PM (MST)[p]So here you are, in the wilds of elk country. You have been watching this herd for 3 days now and have figured the travel route out. You set up on the fourth day and things are going your way. This guy is feeding towards you. The wind is blowing at an angle from him to you. He is at 30 yards, and you are at full draw. The hunting gods have smiled upon you. Where are you going to put your arrow... 1 is high and 4 is low.

No Gut's...No Story!!!

THATS EASY!!!

4TH DOT TO THE RIGHT & LOW # 4!!!

IF I WAS PACKING MY .50 IT WOULD BE VERY FAR RIGHT 5TH DOT & LOW # 4!!!

THE ONLY bobcat TAKING A SHOULDER BLADE OUT ONCE IN A WHILE BUT NOT TRACKING THEM ANYWHERE!!!

chasendeer · Jun 11, 2006

WAsharpstick · Jun 11, 2006

3 green 3 blue

257Tony · Jun 11, 2006

3 or 4 green will each get it done. The blues are asking for a ricochet off the blade.

bobcatbess · Jun 11, 2006

Tony!!!

I'LL MAKE YOU A BET I'VE GOT A WEAPON THAT WON'T RICOCHET OFF THE BLADE,LOL!!!

Im gonna wait for him to move the front leg forward on his next step and slip an arrow in #4 black.

Califelkslayer · Jun 11, 2006

I'm with you Ironhead. The shoulder is covering most of the lungs. With my 338 I'd do the lower purple and cape him right there.

NONE · Jun 11, 2006

Bow or rifle that is the question? I saw this on TBH Widowmaker you get around dude!

peakfreak · Jun 11, 2006

I like the one step forward then slam the dark blue #4 with my 300wsm 168tsx.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-12-06 AT 00:09AM (MST)[p]last time I checked - "full draw" was considered archery terminology!

30inchbuck · Jun 12, 2006

3 green - 3 black

Lien2 · Jun 12, 2006

If I had to shoot right now, 3 black.
I would rather wait till he turned his head away, or moved his on-side leg forward a little, giving me a little more broadside/queartering away shot, then I'd slice an arrow through him.

coyote13home · Jun 12, 2006

I would hold on #4 black and wait for one more step, that's right where I shot my bull last year and he only went 35yds,just walked away never what hit him. Also I chose lower because you would probably be on your knees so the exit will be higher than the entry

daggertine · Jun 12, 2006

4 Green gun or bow .

oneshotonekill · Jun 12, 2006

Green or black # 3

one shot

huntin100 · Jun 12, 2006

Green four. I have shot acouple in the shoulder blade. It does'nt work in an elk most of the time.

lifeisgood · Jun 12, 2006

#72- Recurve, instictive. Since he is feeding towards me and wind is good I let him come. After 3 anxious minutes, he is now at about 22 yards and has turned away (22 yards is my sure fire kill distance, every time) , reaching around in a "U" of sorts, scratching his left hind quartuer with his brows, and exposing his entire heart and lung area, unobscured by any shoulder blade. I pull back quickly and swiftly, just like in practice, and zone in on a dark tuff of hair where the top of his heart is.
Just then a damn ATV with some donkey that couldnt read the NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES sign 4 miles down the hill comes riding up and the whole herd scatters, leaving me at full draw with GI Jerk on his camo clad ATV (Oneida Eagle strapped on the back) at... well, lets just say, 22 yards. Did I mention 22 yards is my sure fire kill distance, every time?

life IS good

upmuley · Jun 12, 2006

If the shot had to be right there 3 black. I would definately prefer to wait.

RACKMASTER · Jun 12, 2006

5 GREEN HEART SHOT!

"Your at full draw" unless you "draw" your guns, your gonna ricochet off the blade. If I had my .338, he wouldnt go nowhere! Done it before at 30 yds, never flinched....

Cass · Jun 12, 2006

4-blue / red. Rather have a lung shot on a bull.

JACKELOPE · Jun 12, 2006

i'd crap myself first, then my arrow would fall of the rest cuz i'm shaking too bad, then i'd stick one right in the tree under his belly and between his legs.
(never killed a big bull...maybe this year)
i do like the green 4 or wait till his right frt leg goes forward and take that shot.

polarbear · Jun 12, 2006

5 green

polarbear · Jun 12, 2006

Howdy dooo Bessy!
I kinda got fed up with some of the b!tching around here and took a little break. I have been spending a ton of time on the boat and doing a little fishing with the kids and chasing cattle. Havent gone to Canada fishing yet, maybe in August.

GooseHunterJr · Jun 13, 2006

3 or 4 blue or green.

jasn · Jun 13, 2006

4 green (unless I thought he was going to step forward within the next 10 seconds at full draw and present a better opportunity).

What is with the range or multiple choices from others! I'm not saying my choice is the best but its specific, the best archers I know pick out ONE specific spot, a single hair or dime size area and focus on only that spot. My suggestion if you're not picking ONE dot, practice doing it or else you're more likely to hit poorly and wound an animal, or rush a shot thinking its good enough. A bad decision in my mind that too many archers I've come across have made!
