Youth elk tag notched
« on: November 09, 2015, 04:09:04 PM »
Well the boy got the job done this Saturday about 20 minutes into the hunt.  We had some buddies tell us they had been seeing cows in an area and to give it a shot.  We were walking in at dark and could hear elk walking around.  We get set up and the 1000's of questions start and I have to very quietly remind him that we are hunting, we need to be still and not talk for a while.  That lasted 2 minutes.  Within a couple minutes we could hear elk crashing toward us and he was set up on a stump.  At a whopping 62 yards he dropped the hammer and down she went.  Lots of hugs, prayers, ataboys and the job began.  I have been blessed with many opportunities that some will never get to experience but I can say there is nothing better than spending time with kids in the outdoors.  Does not matter if the tags are notched or your left with tag soup.  Get out there and enjoy them every chance you get.  The elk died right next to a bull carcass that was a year old.

Nice job. I really like the face stripes!
Curious what caliber he was shooting?

Man, that is just awesome! I don't have any kids of my own, but this makes me want to get more involved with my nephews ( who definitely need to get outdoors and not so much video games). Really cool man!

That's awesome Mike, happy for you and your boy! My boy came super close several times this weekend but for different reason just couldn't quite make it happen this trip.
