Due to my state going to lottery system for big game and not having been drawn for anything in the past few years, I am going to bowhunting.  Went with a nephew on an elk bow hunt in northern New Mexico.  He got a 4X4 with a PSE Dream Season at 70#.  I believe he used an aluminum arrow with Slick Trick broadhead 100 gr. 

I am waiting to get my bow.  Ordered a Diamond Iceman at 60#.  Due to illness, laziness and age, I lost a lot of strength and cannot pull a 70#.  I believe it will do what I want to do.  Heard lots of excellent reviews on the Iceman.  I ordered it with the Whisker Biscuit rest, Spott Hogg sight and should be ready to shoot when I get it.  Anybody using the Iceman and what do you think about it? 

We are planning to hunt same area next year.  Chances of getting bow license are very good.  Rifle tags are hard to get.
