Steve, the range was approximately 35 yards. Most of my hunting is close range in thick brush.
Yehaaaaa! I bet that was a tad more than " a little exciting"! I know I'm close to stroke level on whitetail when I've gotten 10 yard shots with any kind of weapon.
I think an elk at 35 would probably push me over the hump.
Keep in mind I've seen exactly seven elk in my life in two hunts. All were cows at 20 yards going 800 mph down the mountain side.
I'll openly admit I'm envious of all who live in elk or moose country and are able to hunt them annually. Thanks God Bless Steve
