hey Non...dunno if you ever make it up to Whitebear Lake but if you get a chance to go. Check out the Compound Doctor on the east side of 35 north, 2nd stop light take a right, theres a little strip mall on your left, its down towards the end. Look for Mike, he's been chasing elk in Idaho for awhile now and can point ya out to some more info. If ya do make it tell him hi for me being he is my uncle and all. I am definatly gonna drop him a line!!! Check out the Mn thread on the midwest forum..one of the guys in the shop, my ole middle school science teacher is on, he also works in the shop...man I am tellin ya its a small world LOL!

Keep the info coming as I can use all ya have to offer on the elk! I wasnt expecting to draw and was leaning more towards chasin mulies this fall, lots of time to learn elk and I will have some experience partners. I do however like the thought of being independent enough to chase bulls on my own after a week or two. Anything on tips, gear, calls, do's-dont's. Btw I plan on shooting my longbow and the set up is the same as I'd use on moose but heck enlighten men!
