Thanks for the advice! I hadn't even thought about it because of my inexperience with elk hunting, but you have my attention! I will absolutely start doing some research!
Im so pumped!!!
Thanks again for the quick feedback! And also for your service if I am seeing your profile photo correctly! I am deployed with the army right now.
Have a good one!
