Hoping to be able to pull it back efficiently by last week of season
Im going either way as a caller or shooter ...............ELK fever

I miss Oregon elk hunting on the breaks of the sage and timber where you could actually see a good distance. So dang thick here that you can't see your hands in front of your face in broad daylight.

I had elk steaks for supper last night. came from a Mennonite that raises them for meat. delicious. I can buy from him cheaper than I can go to Colorado and shoot one

Yep..We are watching a new typical state record bull..He will be hunted 24 days total..It's all about him and nothing else..I had him on my turn at 80 yards a few weeks ago..All he needs to do is finish his whale tails..That's how I ended up being gifted a pair of 10X42 EL Swaro's..It's going to be legendary Good luck , i hope you get him ...........

Yep..If your having shoulder trouble have you shot the PSE flagship bow..Evoke 31 or 35?..It's extremely shoulder friendly with the their evovle cams..If not what is your new shoulder friendly bow? To be honest i dont know if my new bow is shoulder friendly. I just assume it should be better than the one i have now . Current bow is an old mathews LX . I ordered thw new mathews Traverse. Nothing wrong with the LX as i have killed many deer and elk with it but i feel like i am over due for an upgrade.

Yep..My back up bow is a Mathews Q2 Solo cam..I dumped my Hoyt RX3..last spring...now it's the PSE Evoke 35..It is so so smooth on the draw cycle..It's already got over 3000 shots on it..It's all for just that magical moment when he's 10 yards and the suns hitting him in the eyes and he bugles in my face.."One Shot"
I can catch them here...I can catch them ANYWHERE

With a little luck he should be yours ! I always liked PSE but went with the Mathews for no real reason other than my LX has been trouble free

Do you guys hunt private or public ground ? Public for me, though I will ask permission and hunt if permission is free. I am healthy and enjoy walking still so lots of good public opportunities.

It is to hot. I don't get excited about deer and elk until October. I hunt bear in September because they are out in the open in the berry patches. September is for grouse.

Yep..Not to change the thread though..How many of you shoot 3D?...I have a great time all the time shooting 3D..There's a shoot almost every weekend in every state..Some of these people that shoot are flat out amazing archer's.I'm nowhere near that class of archers..however I shoot in their class.(My bow is the same class).If you never have done it try it..The people all there are really nice and helpful..In any shoot that I have been in...
