My wife and I just returned from her first CO hunt. I was camp cook/sherpa and enjoyed every moment of it. All the trigger time practicing on sticks paid off. She double lunged her first ever bull with a muzzleloader at 72 yards. By the way, Federal 350 gr BorLock completely penetrated. We were truly blessed and I am very proud of her. Be well.

Congratulations, plenty of good eating tin the upcoming year.
As big as her smile of success might be, I bet yours is even bigger.
And the pics are upcoming?

Nice work! I have a bunch of those 350gr. Borlock bullets. Glad to hear they worked well on her elk!
I see backstraps in your future! Jealous!

Must be a good hunter to get within 72 yards.
