I would not pass up the shot, but I would prefer to shoot my elk several days into the season rather than the first day. I'd rather have a whole bunch of close calls with all the excitement to go with it and finally close the deal, rather than get lucky on the first day. But if I got lucky on the first day, I would pack out and finish the season deer hunting.
This doesn't really fit here, but my 4 year old daughter is looking at the modicons and liked this one
