First of all I am glad first hand hunting failures are not publicly posted. Second of all this is not a static population using this forum forum for information. Third of all physics,pyhsiology,and ballistics are good things to learn about. Fourth as my wife puts it "Are we trying to humanely harvest animals and recover them fresh enough for human consumption...or hunt in primatve manner"? That cow elk in this thread looks bloated to me. Maybe it is artifact but it looks like it been dead a while.
