YD, feel free to contact me for more info. Also, if you get up around Sacramento we can talk as long as you'd like.

You just drew "Disneyland" as far as archery elk hunting is concerned. That unit is the Magic Kingdom during late September.

THANKS WISZ.......I JUST TALKED TO ANOTHER GUIDE (NOT THE GUIDE I BOOKED WITH)....BUT DOES GUIDE FOR A GOOD OUTFIT AS WELL. HE SAYS TO ME: YOUR GOING TO SEE A HANDFUL OF BULLS BT 375 AND 400 PLUS ON YOUR HUNT. I TAKE THAT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT !!! BUT JUST TO SEE A COUPLE OF BULLS IN THAT CLASS MAKES ME GIDDY AS A SCHOOL KID AT A WET T-SHIRT CONTEST !!!! WE WILL SEE......TAKE ER EASY..........YD.

WELL EEL.......I SHOOT HOYT RAMPAGE XT @ 66POUNDS, A FULL METAL JACKET 340 ARROW @ 462 GR., ULMER EDGE EXPANDABLES & SHUTTLE T TERMINAL BROADHEADS, AT 290 FPS. ITS A HEAVY ARROW SETUP FOR LOTS OF KE.....AND I HOPE PASS THRU SHOTS. MY GUIDE SAYS 90% OF SHOTS ARE FROM 15-35 YARDS. I SHOOT AT 50 & 60 A LOT. ITS A 14 DAY SEASON......GONNA TAKE IT SLOW.....TRY TO STICK A GOOD ONE......................YD.
