It was the kids turn this year

Nice bull! Was it a 4x5 or a 4x4?

4x4.   His first bull.  It was a great day!

Where's this Mr. big you guys speak of?

yup, nice job, cow meat is sooo much better!

There are a lot of variables to meat! We’ve had cows and bulls that ran and ran after the shot and they’re meat was like chewing rubber. I’m guessing adrenaline?! My last 6 point bull was as good as any cow I’ve shot. He never knew what hit him.

Very true, I'd agree that how quickly they die is very important.

Second elk on my second year elk hunting.
280 yard shot with the .308 right in the boiler room. The cleanest shot i've ever taken, despite having to hightail it back to my spot when i saw the herd coming out of the thicket.
