86 yards is too far for a bow period. Too much can happen between the time you release the arrow and the time it reaches its target.

300+ bulls are trophies anywhere man. Where I go in area 63, I have seen 2 300 type bulls in 7 years. So, as you can tell, not the same type of elk hunting as perhaps you are used to in 62. Would you mind telling us what public land you are hunting in 62? I am going back next week though, as the scenery is awesome and there are a lot of elk to chase. I always enjoy it.
