My son got his 1st bull on Saturday morning. Opening day of muzzle loader in Washington state. 2 miles from the truck behind locked gate. Nice 5x5 Roosevelt. He works for DNR so he is in the woods a lot and decided a couple of years ago to start elk hunting. He's had chances but something always happened but things went right this year. He was shooting a .50 knight.

Rain doesn't usually start for a couple more weeks. He lives north of Portland about 45 minutes and he said it might hit 70 there today. Come rifle season in November it is usually horribly wet.

Yeah he was pretty excited. I've been elk hunting the last few years with him and another son but had to cancel this year due to a ruptured achilles tendon. Had surgery 3 weeks ago and wont get back to normal till the end of the year. So he had his brother with him. They're really close, both work for DNR and they're both in really good shape. But they said this was a tough pack out. Hated to miss this one.

Congrats to your son. You first kill is always memorable, but especially so with an elk! Darn nice bull, also! 👍 memtb
