Great looking animals guys. Fair lump of a critter too by the looks
Orion, we don't have them here, so I'm not familiar with the term "Rag Horn".
What does it mean ??

6 with traditional gear
4 with recurves
2 with longbows
Quite a few more but those weapons don't count:)
I've taken four with my recurve. The largest is the 7x8 in my avatar that gross scored 336. The bow used was a Black Widow PSA recurve that pulled 58#@ 27". The arrow was a 250 Heritage with a 100 grain insert and a Black Diamond Eskimo. Total arrow weight was 605 grains from memory. (Modified at the OP request)
Four with a recurve.
11 with recurve and longbow, this is my best.
ALex. A rag horn is just a young bull, usually a smaller five-point or less, but more than a spike.
Right-oh Orion, Thanks for that

thanks so much and the pics are wonderful...
Only 2 both cows with BearT/D
Five. 4 with a compound in Colorado the last in New Mexico with a longbow.[attachment=1]
Four with my Bear Kodiak Takedown recurves.
Two bulls and two cows.
Ran out of fingers to count them on...so more than 10 but less than 33...cows, calves and bulls
Now ask me how many tree limbs, bushes and bones I've killed :help:

Beautiful Bulls Congrats!
the info and pics are great..but its kind of interesting how alot of people are from mid west or eastern states...
Here is one of mine
Try a picture again.
Two raghorns with a rifle. But they don't count
For yall that shot an elk, can you add the bow draw weight as well? Just curious, thanks!!
My elk longbows are 52 and 53 lbs. @ 28".
My recurves I used early 80's till about 94 where 63 to 68# after 94 all longbow around 60# My last elk and one in picture was a 55# longbow.
Used a 65# Bighorn recurve, a 58# Robertson mystical longbow and a 52# ACS. As my age went up, my bow weight went down.
83 lb curv in younger days now low 50's lb
Cow, 58# Thunderhorn, mature bull, 51# Morrison Cougar, inerestingly the bull was 22 yards and I got a complete double lung pass through with a 30 year old Autumn Orange 2018 and a first year issue Woodsman.
Both of mine were #65 lb Bear T/D
Dave makes it look easy. I think he makes his bow with little more juju than what he makes us!
Three Bulls. All with a 65# Bruin TD
My best
you guys are awesome!
many congrats!!!
6--- 54# to 57#
