Just sharing pictures of my 11 year old sons elk. We scouted the taneum unit. We hunted opening morning just south of Easton, saw lots of sign just no elk. We moved down to the Cle Elum area where we had scouted the most and found this 6x6 opening day at 4:00 in the afternoon. First we found a couple of cows and a possible spike. They milled around for about 15 minutes interested in our cow and calf calls. They wandered off so we thought we would call a couple more times with the cow and calf call to see if we could get them to come back. 5 minutes later we heard some crashing brush coming towards us. I told my son most likely it is the cows coming back but to be ready just in case. All of a sudden from out behind some trees about 20 yards away horns appeared above the brush and out stepped a large 6x6 only 18 yards away. My son was ready and put one right in the front shoulder. The elk humped up and then took off running. My son put another shot in just behind the front shoulder. The elk went down about 20 yards later. I never thought my son could shoot standing up free hand so quick. I think I was a way more nervous than he was. We could not believe this bull came in so close. It was an awesome sight. We joked that it was almost self defense.

On a side note, I hate to be "that guy" but look at where the rifle is pointing in the pics. Unloaded or not, just think about it.

This was the post I was referring to in another thread. I do not see the posts I was referring to on here. One of two things has happened. They were deleted or I am confused on what website they were posted on. If it turns out that I am wrong about the comments coming from our members, I do apologize.
Mike Henne
No worries! It's possible the comments were posted on this site and the mods removed them. I checked the deleted items folder and found three messages that had been deleted that referenced the direction of the gun in the photo. However, if two moderators were deleting negative remarks at the same time it's possible the remarks you mentioned were completely removed with no record remaining, that's why I say the comments could have been posted on this site, we can't say for certain. Either way, your story in the other topic illustrates the kind of negativity that we want to avoid on this forum and I thank you for speaking up. Stories like you posted will help us all to understand the impacts of negative remarks and the need to clean it up! :tup:
I bet your nephew Tye ended up with a great mount or rack for the wall, congrats to him and your family! :tup:

Man what a bull! I think I was in my thirties before I killed something like that.
I turn 40 this year and still have not killed a bull like that. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Great bull

We couldn't find any. I am almost thankful because I'd have to curb stomp whomever did it. Honestly it doesn't get much better than that.

@deerhuntr4885 make sure your nephew sees that he is still impressing the socks off of us with his bull, and that your family knows how this family really feels.
:yeah: I'm 34, been at elk hunting for a long time and have never come close to killing anything like that!!!
