Ooooh, this should be a good thread! I can't pull weight anymore so, elk are off the list for me probably for good. But, I shore do love looking at pics!

You and me both Sam, on the hearing great stories and seeing pics that is! I have hunted elk a few times but, never was successful. Now I can't.

Colorado 2012. My brother Chris. Jim Reynolds MOAB 60# with douglas fir tipped with grizzly.

This year is my turn in Idaho!

This year I made up some 650 grain bamboo arrows for him tipped with hunter heads.

I'll be using lighter 620 grain bamboo arrows tipped with 190 ribteks out of my 50 #Hill bow

2014 Colorado Cow. 61lb Black Widow Bow. 525 grain total arrow weight (125 grain Wasp SST Hammer with a sharpened tip). Shot was 30 yards and the hit was in the heart. She ran 80 yards straight downhill. Going back this year and it is Bull or Bust!.........maybe.

Have missed an elk with my bow, killed one with a rifle (not the same hunt, ha). Going to Colorado next month Units 80/81 which is just across the state line from Chama, NM. We leave September 12. Can't wait! About to go shoot some more right now and working on arrows tonight. Sure hope to get to post you some "success story" pics when I get back. FWIW, there are five of us going, three stickbow shooters and two compound guys.
