***Update as the hunt continues**Loch (Sniper Elite) and his family are doing well and are still humbled by all on here for last years hunt.
When we were hunting last season for Loch's buck he was very excited at getting a chance someday to hunt Elk. A good friend of mine owns some property here in Ellensburg and was kind enough to allow Loch to come over and hunt Elk.
On Monday evening Loch showed up with his dad, mother and sister. That was a treat as it is always a lot more fun to have the entire family along. Tuesday morning we met up with my friend and it didn't take too long to find a herd of Elk. After hours and hours of watching the Elk and waiting for them to bed down for the day, I'm pretty sure Loch was getting a little anxious
We came up with a plan to move in on them with the wind in our favor. This meant that Loch, his father, mother, sister and I had to climb in there about a half mile then Loch, his father and I crawled over a rise about 15 yards or so, setup and take the shot. Loch was amazing and never complained one time about his leg/hip. This kid is one of the toughest kids I have ever met. Once we got set up for the shot a big cow stood up (bad move on her part) and started to move off on her own and away from the other Elk. Loch took his time, waited for a couple calves to clear his shot and made one perfect 249 yard double lung shot and she only made it about 20 yards and piled up.
High Fives and Sniper Elite comments were made by all!!
On the way back to the truck we all offered to piggy back him and or move the truck closer to make for a shorter hike out and Loch refused. He was like "I walked in here and I will walk out".
I can't wait for General deer season to get here soon enough and to be hunting with Sniper Elite and his family again!
