Well, I had kinda long shot for a black powder, but hit a nice spike. He acted sick for about 40 minutes and then went into some thick brush. I decided to wait until tomorrow morning. About an hour ago, my son in law went to check to see if it had expired. It had. Only problem is no Randall pictures since he is doing all the gutting and hanging. Still, a nice fat spike elk will be some great eating.
