[QUOTE="Bobcape, post: 1849884, member: 13100"] The hard part in South Dakota is drawing the tag. Also, if you’re hunting by yourself, getting it back to your truck is tough! The shot was only 211 yards. There was a group of 30+ elk, I picked the largest one and made my shot from standing, off of sticks. I lost sight of the elk at the shot but heard a good hit. I didn’t take a second shot for fear of hitting a second elk. That’s bad ju-ju! After all the elk bolted I went to the spot where I thought they were standing. I was heartbroken not to see the elk right away. Within a few minutes I found her about 15 yards away. She fell at the shot, no steps taken. Impact was between two ribs, exit was through a rib. About ping pong ball size exit wound. I used the gutless method and had to bag and haul her to my truck by myself. I did not open the chest so can’t comment on the lungs, etc. BTW - You can grab the inside tenderloins from the back after removing the backstraps. So I have extensive field experience, with a sample size of one. "It worked for me!" Bob She dropped at the shot, but I couldn’t find her for a few minutes. [ATTACH=full]180506[/ATTACH] Ready to haul out. [ATTACH=full]180509[/ATTACH] 1/3 of a backstrap weighed 3.7 lbs. [ATTACH=full]180510[/ATTACH] The reward! [ATTACH=full]180515[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
