I can tell you guys from personal experience.....toting a bow in Sept in Wyoming is heaven on earth! I was looking across a meadow at first light with another hunter, and 5 big dagger-pointed bulls with a bunch of smaller satelites, and girlfriends to round out the group of approx. 100 elk.........our pants were warm from crapping on ourselves for sure! Even though they were well out of bow range, just the chance to be amongst them at a time when they were so active and unpressured was all the reason we ever needed to be chasing them with a stick!
