Found this guy Friday afternoon. Much the same story as last year, just got into my spot - saw an elk - closed the gap and whacked him. 3 hours of hunting! 5 hours total for 2 bulls in the last 2 years! About 3 times that hauling that suckers out, but I'm getting over it and will be ready for next year. I have got to get my brothers to go next time packing these suckers out solo is too much work.

Blacktail53 - It's a Hoyt Ultratec - '03 model 60# 29" Draw, shooting Easton Buckeye arrows with muzzy 90 grain broadheads 400 gr total at a bit over 270fps. I keep thinking I need a new bow each year and shoot the new models, then I shoot this one and well I just haven't found anything I like better - yet.
