I say congrats to the young lady for her first elk and damn fine shooting!

Congrats to your son and you Eddie. That's a nice Michigan whitetail anywhere in the state. Is that the 243 with the green cerakote color that my grandson picked out for my 30-06? My grandson got his first deer this year on November 26th, 110 yards with his H&R 20 gauge bull barrel shooting a 3" Buckhammer slug. One shot in the boiler room. Not as big as your son's but I'm very proud of him as I know that you are for your boy. Give the young man my congratulations.
