Daughter's first elk

[WAElkhunter89]

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?

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.
