several years ago I was bow hunting a drainage and ran across a 4 point in the bottom. I got one shot off and missed. I then realized when it tried to run off something was drastically wrong with it! I could keep up with the elk. It made a big loop crossed a creek up the other side near a skid road and stopped broadside. I double lunged it at 40 yds. Watched it run 30-50 yds and fall over.

While examining the bull I noticed it had both left side legs broken at the knee. And while gutting it we found this huge puss pocket on the right rear quarter that had either a rifle of muzzleloader slug in it. Ended up tossing the hole hind quarter. I can only imagine how he got all of those injuries. Endless possibilities!!
