My Elk Hunt With 90Gr. Muzzy
Just got back from my 8 day Colorado Elk hunt. Had a great trip and the good fortune to take a 4 X 3 bull last Thursday.
Shot this bull @ 26 yards using a 90Gr. 4 blade Muzzy with a complete pass through. Nicked a rib going in and broke a rib coming out, shooting a 415Gr. ICS 340, @ 68Lbs.
I was hunting with my wife and we did have a considerable job getting it out with the weather so hot.
My wife called this bull in for me and helped me pack meat out, you can't find a better woman than that.
If you are just not sure what head to shoot "SHOOT MUZZY"
Good luck to all this season,

Congratulations!! And to be able to share the hunt with the wife,
what a lucky man! Just curious, what speed are you shooting those
415gr. arrows? Want to figure your KE. Again, way to go!!

dsheally,
My Ultra-Tec @ 29" draw is shooting 267fps, I have the xt3000 limbs on my bow and it is not as fast as the bows with the xt2000 limbs but I wanted the higher brace height the 3000 limbs give (don't like to use an arm guard).
I had some concerns about the 1" cut on the 90gr. heads before my hunt, but they shot and grouped so good I just had to go with them.
My wife is the best hunting partner I have ever had. She took 2 bucks and 1 doe with a bow last year, and 2 turkeys this spring with her shot gun. Sure makes being gone hunting a lot better when the wife is not waiting at home.
Thanks,
365MAG
