RE: Not worthy anymore after 1st season!
Same scenario with me. I was into Elk like I couldn't believe. On public land in a high pressure area. I was working small pockets of timber. Avoiding the popular "elky" areas.Hearing ATVs ,Trucks ,etc all around ,but I was seeing Elk all of the time!! Had a couple of draws , but couldn't take the shot (limbs,trees etc.) Finally the shot I had been waiting for..... at what I thought was 30 yrds ( Had ranged some trees when I time.) A big beautiful cow in a perfect shooting lane. I put the 30 yrd pin on her and let it fly
Right under her and into the base of a pine[:-]. She and her girlfriends trotted off . But she came back (with vitals blocked)and just looked at my position with this unforgetable look on her face.Turns out.The spot where she was standing was 42 yrds[:@]
Oh well ..............I LOVE BOW HUNTING!!!!!
But thank GOD for rifle season or I'd be Elkless[

GLOB!
