Congratulations.  That is the way to put in the effort when it counted.

Yep, .308.  Long winded story I know, sorry it got lost in there.  7th paragraph? Man I was long winded.  Just a really proud dad rambling on.

My father in law got the gun for my wife 20 some years ago.  She is only 5'2" so it fits her great.  I have actually used it in Alaska for bear hunting.  Great gun for using in the brush, the scope flips out of the way so you can use open sights up close.

In the last two years it has dropped 5 elk.  My wife, my daughter and myself all got elk with it last year.  My wife and daughter did this year.  Just a great gun for putting down game.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Ha, i even read it but it didn't register.   Reading this between meetings.   I have the same rifle and it works well.   Wife took a moose with it.

Awesome. Grats to the young hunter and dad.  :IBCOOL:
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

Rick, if you need to get rid of some elk or deer backstraps, I think I can help you out with them.  5 elk in 2 years is a lot of elk meat, not to mention all the deer your family has been harvesting!  Just let me know!
