Shot was not difficult, but the elk were moving in her direction in a tight group and it took a good bit of patience to wait until she had a clear shot. 7x57 with Speer 160 gr. Mag Tips.

Daughter done good. Really proud for her. I’d say she got some meat for the freezer.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

Most excellent! Congratulations to the young huntress and her fine marksmanship with a great cartridge!

Agreed, very special to hunt with your children. Congratulations! Always a good feeling to have a freezer stuffed with elk meat.
Just because I am wandering around doesn't mean I am lost.

Congratulations on a wonderful elk. I'm sure she will be some great table fare.
Kudos to dad for teaching and taking your daughter to the hill.
