Would you shoot acow?

Who all is going?

What is your pbisical ability? Don't lie! Elk like tough country.

Then Check your references and shoot your bow alot.

Price has some thing to do with it, but your on your own there. Tip the guide and the cook seperate. If the owner wasn't the guide or cook, don't know if they should be tipped.


Goal is to get a chance at an Elk...I'd take a cow no problem.

Right now it's just me going - trying to convince a buddy of mine to join in but no joy yet.

Physical ability is average to slightly above for a 40 year old...and would work to improve the cardio fairly hard if I book something...probably should anyway...I always start walking more about now for my own hunting season....

Shooting the bow is a non-issue. Been bow hunting in IL for 25 years. I start shooting to prepare for start of each season on July 1. Every year.
