Great stalk and great buck.  Sounds like a perfectly placed savora ;)

I think that makes eight with the new titanium head.  Only two (caribou and antelope) of those made it more than 50 yards and none over 80.  I'm excited to get the modifications done and get them on the market.

The hanging loins were off the chart fantastic :drool:  Mesquite marinated and grilled to perfection on the Weber, mashed crock pot potatoes with Tillamook butter and steamed asparagus.  Left earth and went to heaven for a few moments.  Then it was all gone and I was forced to return  :(

Double ground the burger with 7% apple wood smoked bacon...my oh my!  Elk?  Who eats elk these day :chuckle: I've got three freezers full of elk and antelope and I guarantee that stuff is taking a back seat for a while :chuckle:

As a point of clarification, many men get undertall as we age.  When I check my BMI chart, I find that I am 13" undertall for my ideal weight.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I should only be 9" under tall.  But after the back surgery I'm closer to 10" under tall  :chuckle:  That would be pretty cool...I'd have like a 33-34" draw length.  That would generate some KE  :yike:

"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?
