Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Lost my elk

Alamosa -

Apparently you took the "Lost my elk" title of the thread in ways I never my imagined would be done. Those three words were chosen for simplicity and because they very succinctly provided a wealth of information to potential readers, albeit with a modicum of inference required, to wit:

1. I recently went on an elk hunt.
2. I had an elk tag.
3. I saw elk.
4. A shot opportunity on an elk was achieved.
5. I took the shot.
6. The elk was hit.
7. The elk was not recovered.

That is a lot of information to be conveyed in three short words totaling nine characters. Perhaps you would have chosen a different title considering the original post was a summary of the entire hunt rather than just about the cow. After re-reading my original post I still feel the title summed things up pretty well and was entirely appropriate.
