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!!!!

I'd say that is better'n pound cake anyday, DB!

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.
