Nice elk and good meat in the freezer, congrats to your daughter! Is the patch of missing fur on her shoulder from when she crashed down the hill?
Ain't nothing better than the adrenaline you get when seeing an animal in the wild.

She had a few spots where branches punctured the hide. Once she came down the hill after the spine shot my daughter finished her off with a quartering away. The hill was about a 55 degree angle and she came to rest head down against that log. Made for a fun time processing her for packout.

Had to go back tonight to grab something we left In the dark and almost took another at 50yds same place. I was at the carcass when she gave us brief side view. Overhead branches blocked us from pulling the trigger.

Yep, I remember when my wife used to be cool like that.
There are only so many sunrises left.
