Flave, at least you were our there hiking and trying to teach your son how to hunt. We have shared in his success before so you must be doing something right there.
There is a line in the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" that goes something like this... "When legend becomes fact, print the legend" This story is much better without revealing all the virtue that Travis has. We discussed this at length on the trip next morning. It is better that no one knows who Travis really is...

I'm thinking he's proud of that fact, Shrap.  It's awful nice too, of you taking him in and trying, at least, to educate him (.300 vs .22-250)

Yea, once you get a Bull in Colorado you will hunt no where else. I had the pleasure (if you call it that) of living just of I70 in NW Kansas for a while. I've never seen so many rag horns and wanna-be bulls traveling back east after the hunters had slayed their monstrous Colorado elk. No doubt there are big ones there, but most everything I ever saw while there coming out of Colorado, I would pass up here if bull hunting.

I was gonna give Travis bs about this then I remembered finding a 270 in a box of 280's awhile back and remembered we all can make mistakes. It's what you do about it that counts. Feel like a dick for awhile and move on,this type of stuff needs a point in time to laugh at yourself and share it. Then move on,only need so much salt in the wound to make you remember. I think Travis showed his own son what can happen when you overlook details. Growth and a learning experience in one lesson. I really wouldn't have wanted to use Shrapnel's 300 with the grenade launcher on the end of it either. Magnum Man

It takes some real work to suppress a 380 bull elk taken with a recurve bow. An unfinished story of an elk hunt with no elk, turns into a Christmas Carol, The First Noelk...
I'll sing it proudly this Christmas Eve. Travis

Seems like there ought to be a SPAM trophy handed out. A base made from a piece of pine with the can mounted on top. ![[Linked Image]](http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab311/bizypix/Unknown_zps572ab0cd.jpeg) Goes great with pickled eggs. Travis

I'm still waiting to hear an explanation of why or what makes a "Colorado elk" better than any other elk.
Flave, at least you were our there hiking and trying to teach your son how to hunt. We have shared in his success before so you must be doing something right there.
Sure beats pounding on the keyboard keys, or doing a retile job in the house like I was doing...... Yep. We're pretty blessed to live here. Travis

I wasn't going to admit this but since you fessed up....
Last week I did an epic stalk on an uber mule deer buck in a blinding cold wind.
Got within 50 yards of the deer(huge 6x6 with double drop tines, probably +30" wide...).
Went to pull the trigger and nothing. Forgot the rifle back in the truck....
Still pissed that I had to slay the buck with my knife(got blood and chit all over my clothes).

I don't think you're being sincere.

He would have had a rubber elk handy to shoot.

A quick chamber set-back to 7XC should get the headspace about right. You will however have to obtain some bullets with enough diameter to engage the lands.

Or find some sabots to fit 'em.
Is this thread going to go on as long as "Birth of a Deer Camp"?
