Jeff,
I have pretty much decided on going fixed blade, because I agree on not risking it with a mechanical.

I'll be buying a used bow, cheap from a buddy. I tend to shoot Mathews bows, probably due to the single cam better then my dual cam bowtech.

And, with this tag I will be using a guide. I am not a very experienced elk hunter, and with this being one of the best tags in the country, I will be saving my pennies and hiring someone. I am normally a DIY guy, but I have waited for this tag for to long to try my luck on my own.
