well long story short i started bow hunting last year and was going with a friend. well this year he decided not to go this year. well, he is the one who was teaching me what he knows about archery elk hunting. when we would go it was all back country backpacking. NO four wheeler's (wheel chairs) horses, it was all on our backs, i have most of my own gear now and am so excited to go. i have been reading up on elk and their habits, but no matter what i read nothing beats the info you can get from others... any info, tips would be greatly appreciated. thanks, chad b.
