Just got back from unit 15 for the youth Muzzleloader antlerless elk hunt. This was a first for both elk and muzzleloader for the girls, and my 12-year-old's first big game hunt. Day 1 and 2 were pretty slow with only a couple of sightings and no action. My youngest daughter shot her cow on the 3rd morning at 125 yards, and my older daughter got hers that evening at about 80 yards. Made for a busy/late day but the girls were ecstatic! Still have the unloading/cleaning up/butchering to do but it was a great hunt. The weather was great with days in the 40's and 50's and nights in the teens and 20's. We went down before Thanksgiving and had our big dinner in at camp. Guess we'll see what next year brings! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/ldzj8l5.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/leitNjp.jpg)

Thanks, gents! Can't take all the credit as their Pappa (my Dad) went with us and helped a TON. I've only hunted that are a couple of times but he's done it for many years. A great time was had by all and they've already been planning their next hunts. My oldes is really jonesin' for an Oryx hunt down south, but we'll have to see if the Game and Fish Gods will grant a tag.

As an aside, the little CVA Wolf my younger daughter used was bought right here in the classifieds. Can't remember who I bought it from but it's being used as intended. My oldest daughter used my T/C Omega. Both muzzleloaders are scoped with Sightron SII 3-9X42.

Awesome, what a great way to spend Thanksgiving. That's a good amount of meat that should last for awhile.
We have enough youth, how about a fountain of SMART???

You should be proud of those girls, and I know you are! And they should be proud of you too Dad. I’ll bet they are.
