Elk hunt - fixed blades or mechanicals??

Fellas / gals

I am heading out to Idaho on my first ever bow Elk hunt. Pretty pumped up!

My question is this...should I stick with a fixed blade broad head or would a mechanical (like say a Rage 2 blade) be a good broad head to use?

I know elk hide is thicker than a deer...that is why I am indecisive at this point.

All input is welcome!

If it were me I'd go with a good sharp fixed blade

Buddy of mine is headed out on his first elk hunt at the end of the month. He's done a lot of research and has decided on Muzzy's. From what he's read, mechanicals will work but there's too many "if's" for him.

Muzzy for me too. I know mechanicals will do the job these days but you simply cant malfunction with a fixed blade.

Muzzy has been been to me since I started shooting them.

muzzy all the way

i dont elk hunt, but i do hunt pigs and the tough hide will augh at a mechanical. i do use mech on deer with no prob (rage 3 blade). muzzy is ultra sharp.

Good luck on your hunt I'd go with a fixed head.

thanks for all the insight. I shoot Muzzy's now and have been since I started archery hunting years ago. By the sounds of it...I should stick with them for my elk hunt.
