VERY NICE. Would you call the arrow setup the same or heavier than your Elk setup?

That is good to hear. It worked for ya!

I've sworn that if I ever draw a Bison tag, I'll only do Archery. Glad to see my Elk setup will work.

Buffalo Field Campaign is a bunch of white guys with dreadlocks. Back when the "bison hunt" was the Fish and Game called you up when a bison left the Park, they would take you to the bison and let you shoot it. The BFC would come throw blood on people. I've heard an mysterious unknown benefactor pays for a cabin on Hebgen Lake for them to live in

Great job, truly a trophy of a lifetime. It is almost mind blowing thinking of Indians killing those huge animals with their hand crafted bows. Congrats

pretty cool, not a lot of opertunitys for this any more. still its kinda funny seeing the heard in the background of the kill shot, those things are a bit more of a shoot than a hunt. make a great trophy though

A little off topic, but how did the solid broadheads fair?
This is the second animal I have shot with the Solid Broadhead. To say that I am impressed would be an understatement. The edge they retain is incredible and they are extremely durable. I really don't see me changing for along time. There is some sticker shock but truly believe you get what you pay for!
