Well done, sir. And congrats to the young man. May you both have many years to hunt together.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

There was one real big bull in the group but he wouldn't step clear of another one that was behind him so my boy decided to take this one and not run the risk of hitting two by accident. I cleared a little shooting lane for him so he could make a prone shot with my .300 and he dropped it in its tracks at 297 yds! I was damn impressed! I'm still grinning ear to ear!!

Thanks fellas, I'm still beaming today! He used my Tikka .300 wm using 180gr Federal Fusions. I'll tell you that I was a bit apprehensive about letting him take a shot at that distance. He had a real steady rest and kept reassuring me though that the first dot was dead on and not moving. I doubt he'll be asking me to shoot my gun at the range as it has a nasty sharp recoil (which he mentioned after the shot) but he did say he'd use it again if need be. grin Thanks for the idea about sending the pic to ADF&G. I'll have to find out when they start accepting photos. He'd love that!

Awesome. Sincere congratulations to both you and the lad. I only hope I am able to share such an accomplishment with my young daughter one day.
