How healthy are you?
Can you handle mountains or at least altitude air?

If you haven't taken an elk with a bow, you'll be hooked.

I've hunted elk the last 6 years and there isn't any thing better. However, in the future I plan on chasin Alaskan moose, then Alaskanbrown bear, then a cape buffalo eventually down the road, all with the bow. Once those are accomplished it will be elk, moose, and brown bear with the long bow. My plan is moose in 3-5 years and the rest from then on out once the money issue is cleared but I will be hunting elk every year that I can. It's kind of a tradition and I can't let myself not take a trip to hunt em every year. Just to much fun. WCL

O I forgot. We go public land for the elk so its really cheap and we do very well suprisingly for public land. WE usually fill about 50-75% of our tags. Anywhere from 3-11 guys a year. This fall there was only 3 of us and all 3 filled their tags. WCL
