Whether you can draw 70# easily is not an issue. It's just not necessary for anything you going to hunt here. Now it seems your bow may be being over-clocked. The increase in poundage is probably more than being offset by a reduction in efficiency due to internal friction and other things. So now you may be just drawing excess poundage for naught.
Yup, and further i gained a gew FPS when i Tillered my bow, and that took it down to 66 lbs from 70 on the money.
and its more accurate than when it was cranked down.

I took it to the bow shop this morning. He took a .5" out of the draw length, and he said it looked much better. When I described it to him, he said it sounded like the draw length was to long, thats why it was pulling a little bit. It felt better afterwards, so thats definetely a good thing.

Heck yeah.. a bow that is even just a bit long in the draw is a real mother to try and tune. Glad you are moving along in the right direction my man.
