My Turn at a WY elk thread....

Duckbutt · September 20, 2011, 09:42:00 PM

And even though I already had the deck stacked in my favor I figured on buying some additional insurance by bringing the Randy Morin Banschee longbow donated and purchased in this last St. Judes auction. I was a little nervous about dropping to 50lbs for an elk hunt. Randy told me with a two blade head and heavy arra I'd be fine. Boy was he right. Blew through the heart and opposite shoulder. The hide kept it from being a complete pass through.

Thanks Randy!!!!

I'd say that is better'n pound cake anyday, DB!

What an incredible experience...and if I do say so, you got a great camp mate to keep your head in the game!

Excellent team work! Those are some incredible pics all the way.

Couldn't happen to a better guy!

It was a long night but by the next morning we had the meat in town and at the processor. All of it in good shape.
