Congratulations on a great shared memory! Ya gotta love pulling those backstraps on a mature elk!

Had a great hunt in North Central Wyoming...after a good stalk Across a couple canyons, this big lead cow gave him a 268 yard shot and he dropped her with 1 shot from my 7 rem mag and a 150 grain scenar for his first elk. Bullet busted both elk shoulder blades and exited. Elk dropped and never moved....once again these bullets proved to be bone crushers... He did awesome in this hunt - proud dad Good stuff. And great shot

Now that's a happy kid! A 12 year old shooting a 7RM is terrible though...isn't there an minimum age for such overpowered magnums? Everyone knows kids should use nothing larger than a 7-08.
