[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 1995160, member: 111184"] I believe there are some reasons in addition to your post - in Idaho, the minimum draw weight is 40 pounds and that is for anyone. IMO, that is too low for elk. Yes, I agree that lack of practice and lack of skill Contributes to lost elk. I‘ve seen arrow wounds on an elk’s body that are disgusting. Idaho allows 85% let-off. Newbies can do that all day. Back in the ‘80s, it was 15% let-off. Elk calls - I started with and still use a diaphragm. Modern calls allow anyone to just blow. Too many units with rut hunts are only for archery and they are every year. Ethics, in 30+ years of elk hunting, I have lost one elk, and I quit for the season. I have heard guys say they stuck and lost 3 or 4 in one weekend. Then say, the coyotes or bears will get them. [/QUOTE]
