Its that time boys, all the miles running, walking around with a loaded pack in the hot summer temp, we need to sit back and reflect on all the work behind us and what lies ahead! I believe whole heartedly that i made my #55 Bear Montana a bonafide elk killer launching 675gr(total arrow wt), 160gr STOS tipped KK German Pine shafts! This being my first elk hunt ive shot more seriously than i have in years! i feel great after all the training that ive been doin, and feel that my cardio is where it needs to be penetrate deep into our targeted wilderness area! As far as elk tactics, i believe that itll be alot of glassing of drainages and open parks to try and find elk travel tendencies, and maybe a little waterhole sitting during mid day! Interested in seeing how everyones been preparing, equipment used new or old, etc!
