My son's first elk

[durangodds]

My 11 yo shot this bull on the second morning of his hunt in the Gila National Forest in New Mexico. He shot it as it was trotting away from him at 45 yards. One shot through the right lung and out the wind pipe. He used a 7mm-08 with a 120 gr Barnes TSX bullet he hand loaded himself. The bull only went 20 yards before falling over dead. He green scored in the 315-320 range.

Am I bragging....you bet I am.

And he seems like such a sweet boy. Who knew he was a mighty hunter? I bet you are proud. Tell him I said congrats and I want to hear all about it next summer.


Nice steal your face too.

Congrats!

 

[Haggis]

Good going! Congrats to your boy for a job well done. Now your goin' to have to get that boy his own freezer for his meat. Make sure he gets the tenderlion and that dad doesn't pur"loin" that tasty bit of meat.

Good choice in calibre; makes a great kids gun. My daughter uses the same calibre in a Remington Model 7 youth.

Very cool. When I was 11 I just got to gut them!

How quickly I forget... I can only imagine the wonderful goodness a couple of good Mormon lads will create when armed with a dutch oven and a fine piece of meat:cow:. I predict that I am about to become the luckiest half drunk heathen ever to step foot in a Moab campsite!!!:chowtime:

I cut 3 steaks from a backstrap yesterday for you guys, so stop by on your way home. And ya, I'll probably do a roast in the dutch oven in Moab.
