And even though I already had the deck stacked in my favor I figured on buying some additional insurance by bringing the Randy Morin Banschee longbow donated and purchased in this last St. Judes auction. I was a little nervous about dropping to 50lbs for an elk hunt. Randy told me with a two blade head and heavy arra I'd be fine. Boy was he right. Blew through the heart and opposite shoulder. The hide kept it from being a complete pass through.
Thanks Randy!!!!

What an incredible experience...and if I do say so, you got a great camp mate to keep your head in the game!
Excellent team work! Those are some incredible pics all the way.
Couldn't happen to a better guy!
Congrats and thanks for sharing!

It was a long night but by the next morning we had the meat in town and at the processor. All of it in good shape.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.
