They will drop just like a deer, but as drastic.I was wondering if an elk can possibly jump the bowstring? Most people I have talked to or articles I have read act like mainly just deer will but not an elk.
There really isn’t a void. If you shot high, you likely just hit him in the back straps. They bleed at first and then dry up. A little sore for a while but they will live.Thanks guys, the reason I'm asking is because I called a bull in a couple years back and he hung up around 42 yards looking for what was calling to him and I think he was getting kinda nervous and I thought I had him dead to rights when he turned broadside. Well the arrow was pretty much perfect left and right but went about 10 inches high and I still puzzle over it and looked for him part of 2 days. I felt like i made a real good shot. I almost wonder if he was getting skiddish not seeing what he thought should be a cow there somewhere and dropped at the sound of my bow. The only consolation was I think he was fine because I think it got that void above the lungs and didn't hurt him much.
Be pretty easy for them to jump this one. I’ll just lay it on the ground and they can jump over it…
