Good Luck on your Elk Hunt. Anticipation is someting else isn't it. I amleaving September 7thon a Moose hunt in Alaska and I know how you feel. I am also a BowTech archer, shooting both an Allegiance and a Guardian. After taking 4 elk with a bow (3 in Arizona and 1 in Utah), I am envious of your upcoming hunt. I am not sure anything compares to being archery close to a bugling bull elk. Let us know how you do. Again, best of luck.
