Ooooh, this should be a good thread! I can't pull weight anymore so, elk are off the list for me probably for good. But, I shore do love looking at pics!

This is bull from Idaho , bow is a Black Widow recurve 62in 61@30 , arrow was a .300 FMJ with a 225gr Woodsman broadhead don't remember the total arrow weight. Shot was 4 or 5 yards broadside and he was hit in the heart and only went about 30yds...

This going to be an awsome thread, hoping to draw tags for Colorado next year with my brother.  Will definately get my blood pumping!!!

Leaving in two weeks! Can't wait to get back in them mountains. I so look forward to this trip 

Zona Recurve 52#@26" 58" amo
Magnus stinger 150gr, 100gr brass insert 554gr total arrow weight
Shot was 20 yards, he fell in sight at about 40 yards.
Was my first elk 

New Mexico 2015 Valle Vidal once in a lifetime hunt. 43 yard shot double lung pass through with a 60 lb Redwater Longbow Wilderness Custom arrow and a single bevel broadhead.

I never hunted elk, but I sure do like hearing great stories and seeing all the pics.

You and me both Sam, on the hearing great stories and seeing pics that is! I have hunted elk a few times but, never was successful. Now I can't.

Colorado 2012. My brother Chris.  Jim Reynolds MOAB 60# with douglas fir tipped with grizzly. 

This year is my turn in Idaho!

This year I made up some 650 grain bamboo arrows for him tipped with hunter heads.

I'll be using lighter 620 grain bamboo arrows tipped with 190 ribteks out of my 50 #Hill bow

2014 Colorado Cow.  61lb Black Widow Bow.  525 grain total arrow weight (125 grain Wasp SST Hammer with a sharpened tip).  Shot was 30 yards and the hit was in the heart.  She ran 80 yards straight downhill.  Going back this year and it is Bull or Bust!.........maybe.

Point the truck toward Colorado in 11 more days....

No dead elk pics yet, but this is the year!

Have missed an elk with my bow, killed one with a rifle (not the same hunt, ha). Going to Colorado next month Units 80/81 which is just across the state line from Chama, NM. We leave September 12. Can't wait! About to go shoot some more right now and working on arrows tonight. Sure hope to get to post you some "success story" pics when I get back. FWIW, there are five of us going, three stickbow shooters and two compound guys.
