Your right, I probably would'nt leave. I have tasted Elk a few times and I must say I'd trade it for Venesion anyday. We went on a BowHunting trip to the Upper P of Michigan and a buddy brough some Elk, from that day on I was hooked, plus it only takes 1 Elk to fill the freezer. Do you Bowhunt? I'd love to get one with the Bow, Im a Bowhunter by heart but started ML Hunting for the love of the one shot only and been hooked on that ever since. Started huntink Turkeys 20 years ago when nobody hunted them, it was nothing to get 5-10 longbeards at once to come in, shot many a Turkey. Gave it up in the last few years, after you shot as many Turkeys as I have it gets boreing afetr awhile, not like Deer & Elk, with Turkeys a 22-24 pounder with a 11" Beard and 1 1/2" spurs is about as big as they get here, then you dont get bigger, with Deer it's anybodys guess what might show up. Have a-lot of private land to hunt birds but for now I just call em in for friends, plus after awhile getting up at 3;30 am starts to wear you down. Oh I forgot to mention, not that hunting Turkeys is al that boreing, I did go from the trusty 10 to the bow for em, and got about 11 with the bow. I learned a trick if anybodys reading this and wants a bird with a bow.....set up your decoy out in front of you and stand behind a tree and call, when the bird comes in he'll see the decoy and walk right passed you and then fan out, he never see's you when he fans out, then just aim for the rear where the tail feathers connect and wham, a nice close shot! Going into town and then check on the T7, catch ya later on........Ron ......and keep saving them pennys for the new Knight, sounds like a nice one, one can never have too many ML's
