Yeah Curt, we gotta keep Todd on his toes.  Of course comparing his week to the one I just had has nothing to do with it.

It's like this,.....

That OLD Bear and I have had somewhat of an "elk" issue. It's always done it's part, but I have yet to do mine. It's a great bow, and I kinda' promised it that one day, I will hold up my end and connect on one of those stinky beasts with it. Then, we can both move on and live happily ever after.

The Sunbear will have it's day in the elk woods hopefully several times over. I haven't told my Old Bear that there's another future aspect yet, so make sure and whisper about such things while on this thread.... Shhhhh....

The Zwickey's..... I have a whole drawer full of great old Delta's and Eskimo's 2 blades, and a wise old man once said, "the only thing that really matters is a sharp broadhead." (or something along those lines.) So, I decided I'm using them this year and I'm way happy with the results. The hole that thing (Delta) left in that poor critters hind quarters was amazing. Plus, I used to use Magnus II's with great effect until somebody said they wouldn't work and I believed them.

Go figure....

Thanks for reading everyone....

The boys should be chiming in soon, probably tom. What a great hunt, and a what a great group of guys. I only wished I could have spent more time with Todd, and that Charlie would have been able to make it. I didn't get there until Wed night, so I will get in the game a little later.
Great buck Todd, and thanks for the invite. Mabey next time over in the center of the state   :D    ;)
