Looking at either the Hoyt Defiant 34 or the Elite Impulse 34, any recommendations

I have hunted with the Hoyt Carbon Defiant 34 for three years and have loved it. I’m not just saying this because it just so happens that I’m selling one . I’ve taken black bear, multiple Whitetails, and believe it or not a few groundhogs. It’s a great durable bow since they came out with the carbon. My guide in Namibia with @Khomashighlandhuntingsafaris (Errans) got me interested when he showed me a YouTube video of their “stress test”(ran over it with a full size truck and dry fired it several times and still shot it with no issues). I found it to be a great bow for rugged terrain hunts. It’s definitely designed for the backwoods “Cameron Hanes” style hunts. It also has been a very accurate bow as I used to group at 60+ yards with it as long as I did what I was supposed to do(proper form, back tension, etc). It runs well with a heavy arrow set up and is great for tougher game

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
