I went on a late elk hunt with the wheel bow as I am waiting for my new falcon and I'll tell ya I let three shooters walk by the last three days. I was 11 yards from a 4x4 bull this morning but bulls are not open here this time of year. The 3 cows I saw were on the small side so I let them walk but if I would have had my recurve they all would have been easy kills at less than 15 yards. I have till the 11 of dec. to kill one so letting these lady's walk was fine with me. I love the hi country this time of year we had 7 inches of snow last night and it was awsome out there. I did shoot at a bobcat but missed a touch low. I know I gotta wait for the recurve and then practice all summer but I just couldn't help thinking about how cool it would have been to nail one of them with my new wackin stick, Can't wait till next year.
