Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Wife's first elk

Thanks. I'm real proud with how she handled the cold, hiked, and stayed compose during the shot. She's a real trooper.

I've been messing around with putting videos together the last couple of years while out hunting. It's fun, but I have lots to learn. During the hunt I hate recording then I usually am wishing I would have recorded this and that lol. For me music is the hard part.

The rifle is a Borden alpine mag, 300 wsm with a Leupold VX-6 on top. Absolutely love the rifle. When I first found the site a few years back and was wanting a custom, many people lead me to its specs. Thing shoots dimes with factory ammo.

I found the first bullet but not the second. As far as I could tell it never excited the chest cavity. I honestly feel that the second shot was the one that did him in. He didn't go but ten yards from where he was and had been dead a while. I thought we were going to lose a lot of the hind quarter but we lost nearly nothing from the shot.

Thanks for all the positive comments.
