RE: Is my arrow really heavy?
No I have never hunted elk in the dessert but here in south Idaho we do have high dessert areas such as the snake river valley where I live. And with that said I have hunted antelope and have seen many elk on the dessert area's while antelope hunting. I alsoknow and agree it can bevery hard to stalk when the grass in 4" high at most but it can be done wtih decoys and calling usinggood camo with natural blinds or ground blinds,much like antelpe hunting. But that isn't my point my point is that 84 yards is too far to be a 100% sure thing. And posting and bragging about it on the internet for some newby to read isn't a goodidea. I still think that it isa stupid idea and not wise to shoot that far, and yes I have argued with many of folks over this including some friends.Also I still stick to my guns on believing that for every animal killed at those ranges that one or two are wounded.
