Tested in the timber
The Monarch....The Rock Mountain Elk. The most sought after Game animal in the western Hemisphere. To Hunt one of these magnificent animals, takes grit,incredible physical shape,the right equipment,the right hunting partner, and a knowledge of how this animal lives. I have Taken my share of these animals, through bad weather, impossible terrain, injury, and just sometimes great luck......But I wouldn't have it any other way. Get out there, the only real way to have any success with a Bow on these animals is to be out there, experience it all, spend enough time, pay your dues and watch what happens, even after 25 plus years.......I've never missed a hunt. And truthfully never will....Get ready because September is always coming soon!
