Not a monster and not the biggest I saw or called in, but nice enough for me and the experience was unforgettable!  Being the second to the last day, I could not be too picky either...  :campfire:  

I was shooting of course my 50" Ambush Recurve, 52@28, Gold Tip 3555 Trads, with 100 grain brass inserts and 150 grain razorcaps, total arrow weight of about 530 grains.

By far one of the best elk seasons I have ever had, and could not ask for a better experience in elk country!

Thanks for enjoying this with me.  :archer:
