    Who all is coming out west this year? Season starts in just over a month here in MT and I'm already going nuts:bash:

    LOL... Sorry buddy; that one's staying in the stable forever just like my custom, one-off Allegiance that BowTech built for me.

    The stable's liable to get pretty full soon because I'm not letting loose of my '08 Ally, nor my Predator FG D340 or BlackOps D340 or this year's BlackOps Invasion. Those bows are the best I've ever shot out of the 30-someodd bows bows I've owned.

    Agreed, I keep debating on whether or not I want to pick up an Ally. Those bows just flat out shot good. I really enjoyed the invasion this year, however.

    Just walked in from a 3.2 mile hike with 50lb pack on...yeah, Elk is on my mind:)...not much else motivates me for workouts at 10-11pm.

    My favorite pic from last year...helping my new friend and campmate Justin pack his deboned bull out...what an awesome day!

    Great pics as always Backcountry! It don't get much better then elk country and the mountains. I'll be staying home this year but It's a real good possibility I'll be heading back to Colorado In 2012 but this time I'm heading farther to the SW part of the state to hunt with an old friend.

    Good luck to all of you elk hunters this year.

    53 days until we leave for Colorado. If I don't return ask 130Woodman where he buried my body.

    I haven't bowhunted Wisconsin in 3 years. Although I will be hunting for a few days in October at Todd's place in Green Lake, I certainly don't mind missing opening day to go chase elk in the mountains of Colorado. :rock:

    Elk in the mountains or whitetails in WI? Elk win every time.
