Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Junior's first elk yesterday!

After a couple years of getting skunked, my son got his shot. This 5-point stepped out a little closer than we planned as we were about to root around in our packs for "second breakfast." Two shots (and hits) at about 80 yards from the .300RUM offhand and the bull was down. He then helped me quarter it and packed out two loads. It was about a 1.5 mile pack, we were done right at dark. We're both a little whooped today. Public land, second choice bull tag. 180g Nosler Partitions did the trick again. I couldn't be prouder of him.
