Certainly spoiled huh.

As big as the unit is, she harvested her bull in the same canyon (1 mile away) from where I harvested mine two years ago.

Congrats to Kelli on a SUPER nice bull.

A couple of questions
Rifle, Cartridge, Scope?
Did you find the second bullet? How much do you think it contributed to the kill?

excellent video.... that's not your first one.

Be Safe,

That looked like a great hunt, and a beautiful bull, I don't envy you that pack out though, it looked like some hard slippery walking with a pack out.

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.

How much penetration did you get on that tailpipe shot? Recover any bullets?

For me, the music ruins it. Especially the guys that use that headbanger BS..... Never could figure why there has to be background noise. A little narration goes a long ways.

I have the exact same rifle, though mine sports a Swarovski 3-18 BT "Sheep Hunter" optic. Don't shoot factory ammo in mine but it shoots the same as yours. It's nice to have good tools.


Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.

I'm not sure as I used the gutless method and didn't poke around in there. I do know it stopped somewhere inside and didn't exit.

I did recover the first bullet at the hide of the backside.
