I’ve shot only one elk with a bow. I was so excited, I missed my shot completely, and hit him right in the throat instead. I watched the arrow pass through, with a spray of blood. Bull went 40 yards and collapsed. Not sure if I will aim for the throat if the opportunity presents itself, but it is lethal.
Great content and even better tip on the yo from Joel. I know I have ran I to this multiple times and it's been win some loose some. I like to stack odds in my favor.
Bought my first bow last year in July and killed a bull with it that September. 20 yard frontal shot. I only had the confidence in that shot because of videos like these explaining exactly where to aim.
Awesome stuff. That “yo” tip is money! Big Mahalos Joel and Dan 🤙🏽 Days before a hunt I always look at basic anatomy diagrams of animals I’ll be hunting for that trip. It’s worked so far. Eventually I’ll have enough hunts under my belt to not need the diagrams anymore. Time will tell hehe
Glad to see you guys do this video. There are some very key bits of info in there that people have been lied to about over the years. To the key board warriors… if you desire to argue with this video you are arguing with proven science and fact…
I took a quick shot with a 7mm mag at a spike this past fall high, I guess in “no man’s land”, because he bled and let us on about a 1.5 mile tracking journey down and then uphill, and just like you said, the blood just stopped. Never recovered him. This video helps a lot for future hunts. Thanks!
It has been really windy the past few weeks in Idaho. I would really love to here from Joel on methods for shot execution and aiming in really windy situations. In my experience, the wind can make your pin “float” much larger which can lead to shots breaking farther off center than normal. Any tips would be awesome!!! Sorry for hijacking the video, I just didn’t know where else to ask the question. I figured if anyone could get the answer from Joel, it would be Elkshape!
its three am and im heading to the honey hole this morning. two days ago assisted my buddy to get his out, crossbow, and loud, spooked him, he crouched and it went just below the spine, through the tenderloin, cut some gut, but it must have hit a major artery because he ran less than 100yrd and died within an hour. would that make sense? heavy dark red blood trail like a heart hit. pretty much no spoilage to boot!
Had a hard work out last night real good info I shot an elk 3006 punched a hole threw the top back strap he dropped and got away looked next day couldn’t find him shot him Sunday morning he was with his cows was so happy
Lots of great info here for people. Sadly the video is all washed out due to the sun and your on an angle to the target. Next time set up properly for this vide.
Came to the comments looking for this. Looks like video was maybe shot with S log color curve for low light. Just needs some post processing. Great content as always!
How come no one talks about the shot through the neck. I have killed only one elk, and it was a shot through the neck. I watch the arrow pass thru with a spray of blood. He dropped with in 40 yards.

I just can’t believe you guys got that elk to stay still long enough to make this video, true masters 🙌
He was a paid actor for sure
😂😂

Brilliant video! I have a 10 day elk hunt in southern bc this fall. This was what I needed for sure!!
Glad it helped!

This was great info in Camp, and awesome y’all posted it for us to go through again and again!
Schools In! Amazing content. Thank You.
thanks G!
This is awesome! Thank you for the yo tip! Wish i would have known about it this season.
Great tips! That ‘YO’ tip makes so much sense.
Hell ya guys, great bit of knowledge there!
thanks Vance!
Great info guys thank you so much. I’m solo a lot and my concern was the frontal I love the “YO”! And the tip on letting them whirl is golden!
Great video Dan , love Joel take on shooting etc 👍👍👍🏹🏹
Great info to know I'm hoping to archery hunt elk in a couple years and will use this info.
You bet!
Awesome stuff. That “yo” tip is money! Big Mahalos Joel and Dan 🤙🏽

Putting in for points next year out west and this video helps a lot thank you for this
Love this video!!

Thats good stuff! thank you
You're welcome!
Very insightful! Thank you
You're so welcome!
Great stuff guys 🤘🏻
The YO is going to kill me some bulls! I'm truly not sure if anybody does anything better than Joel Turner, LEGEND!!!
Great job

The low brisket shot absolutely RUINS Midwest deer hunters. They shoot where they want to hit a deer from a tree stand. Great video guys!
thanks Jack!
Good job
Wow crazy intro!

Joel is a dirt nap dealer!

Just like your good buddy Troy aka RF says put the arrow in the Vital V. 🏹
Can I volunteer to help Joel manage those elk in Washington?

What happened to the video quality?
Good question... lol! Didn't have the whole team together

Great content as always!
What's up with the 1950's faded look on the video? Can we get it more vibrant next go around?
It’s because the sun is just to the right of the video and is washing it out.

100%
I shot that last bull in exactly the spot you said not to :(
Ok why not trap them and move them to another place? Another reason I get pissed when DNR wants to put limits on hunting and raising license fees.
Nice content but everything is in the shadow.
