My son Andre took this nice elk yesterday on his first ever muzzle load hunt. We drew cow tags and he got a spike bull, sweet! See that Knight DISC extreme thumbhole stock with the tru glow sights? That is a nice set up! I tried these sights out thanks to the guys on this board who highly recommended them and we really like them. I also want to give special thanks to Mike, sabotloader, for all the help he has provided for me, We had a lot of work to do to get these guns ready for Washington regs and Mike was essential in working with Knight to get these new western breach plugs made. It is an awesome feeling to see your son take a nice animal all by himself, way more rewarding than taking one myself. Heck, I don’t even care if I fill my cow tag now, have to buy another freezer if I do anyways.

and now Andre is thinking... what is the big deal about elk hunting??? take a walk in the woods shoot an elk....

I for one am really glad that every thing worked out so well... And like I told you awhile back... hunting with a ML is fun

That's great! I've got 3 and 5 year old boys and I dream of them being in a picture like that someday. You have got to be a proud father. He looks like he's proud too, good for him!

Thanks everyone, yes it was one of my best days in the field. He begged me to let him tag along when he was 8 years old and he took hunters safety when he was 11 and he has been my hunting partner ever since. The years do go by fast.

That's great for him and for you. He will always remember the rush and you the smile on his face. Hope my son scores this year, it would be his first too. Congratulations.
