Hello all,

I'm relieved to have finally found an active hunting forum! I grew up in North Dakota hunting deer, waterfowl, and upland birds. Recently I moved to Idaho and am really excited to get into elk hunting. I've got a lot to learn about the state and about elk but this site looks to be an excellent resource.

I've bowhunted deer in the past but haven't touched a bow in 6 years. This year I'm really trying to get back into it with the goal of going for elk. I bought a PSE Mossy Oak X last weekend as the first bow I've actually bought myself (last one was an old junker from my dad). Too bad the season is so far away.... oh well, gives me a chance to practice up my shot, learn to call, and lose some weight for mountain hiking. My wife is already getting sick of hearing mews...
