[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1527023, member: 7999"] Back on track... I am going to lean hard on the idea that this cow was quartering away some. This is difficult to see for experienced hunters let alone a new one. If the shot was held tight into the shoulder on a quartering away elk, nothing would have done the job. You just can't reach the vitals. Fortunately this cow gave up. I had this experience with a young hunter and her cow did not give up. It was my fault for not telling her to aim for the far leg. I felt terrible. She now knows to look to the far leg on quartering away and front of shoulder on quartering to shots. Not the way we wanted to learn the lesson. [/QUOTE]
