The fires have been tough this year for a lot of folks heading out. Bummer for sure. I know it doesn’t help this season, but next year those same areas will be elk magnets next year. Appreciate the kind words and best wishes bud! Go get’em! Eeeeeuuuugh! 👍👊

Awesome content guys! I wish I had seen this a couple of years ago. I was sitting in a tree stand and I had a beautiful 5x5 come within 30 yards. The bull and myself just finished a screening match and the adrenaline was pumping hard. I aimed for the Golden triangle but because of me being in an elevated stand it hit where my 20 yard pin was ... right in the Scapula the arrow went in 3" deep then poped out and he took off... sad day but one to learn from.

Thanks Adam! So glad you found value in the show! Nothing like lessons of experience, and we have all been there bud. Ever since I was young, I can remember friends associating a great kill with a heart shot and so the “golden triangle” gets licked into our mind as THE PLACE to shoot. With rifle hunters, I still coach them to take out the heart, but with archers, I have found through experience that two holes, a complete pass through of the lungs is not only the fastest kill, but one that also helps with recovery from a great blood trail. Aiming mid body, 3 inches behind the crease also gives you room high, low,left and right for small errors in shot placement. Yes, for you, because of the angle, you always have to understand entrance and exit, so you would have shot a little higher. I truly believe that there are fewer tags punched because animals are not recovered successfully. Shot selection and knowledge are critical to success. Lessons often learned the hard way. Thanks bud for the comment!

Thanks guys. Love listening on spotify. Had to watch this one to see the layers on the bull. Nice to finally put faces to voices.

When you guys are talking about the golden triangle at the 22:00 ish mark, do you follow that same rule of thumb with a rifle, or is the bone less of an issue with a rifle? Edit: never mind, you answered it 10 minutes later. Thanks for this great presentation 👍

[@ElkBros]

It definitely changes because of the weapon. Angles and shot locations we avoid with an arrow are absolutely viable with a rifle. Now there are multiple angles and the “heart shot” becomes the shot of choice. We show the difference between rifle and archery shot selections in or BaseCamp online course. Really, it’s just about understanding angles and anatomy. Get that down, and you are golden. 👊

@@ElkBros This is the best presentation on elk anatomy I’ve seen. Trying to find photos of the vitals is dizzying because everyone who has photoshop has tried to make a model and they’re all very inconsistent.

Thanks! 🙏👊
