RE: 45 lb. Compound for Elk Hunting?
I agree with Big Bulls on the suggestions he made. I would lean toward a 2 blade design with the lower draw weight, but as Anna showed if you put the shot in the boiler room it's gonna be lights out.
Anna, congrats on the bull. For the record, 1,400 acres is bigger than any tract of land that I hunt, so I realize that it's not an easy task to track down game on that much land.
