Dad's taking their kids into the field to kill stuff is where it's at. Good job, Dad . . . . . . . and boys!

Nice! That is a grand event you related and I agree that nothing compares to having your own youngsters involved in these types of things. Absolutely the best, I agree.

Poot, I've got 2 Sons almost the same age, There's been a few times while Turkey/Deer hunting that raindrop rolled down my cheek also,
Well done.

Well done. Thanks Kenneth! Good on you for taking the boys turkey and deer hunting! I just gave the boys the 270's, so I don't have an elk gun at the moment.......I might just buy a good video camera and hunt with that! I will let the boys do the dirty work and I will film it all:-) Actually, I am in the process of building a new gun as we speak, but I might just have to add a video camera to the list.

Tell 'em congrats from me, too.
However, be aware that a 270 can't kill an elk...except for the doz or so that I've shot with one. In my experience, it's rare for one to exit, though. I usually found the bullets under the hide on the far side.

Wow man that is absolutely incredible!
I am totally with you... Taking my 12 & 9 yo sons to Wyoming this fall where the eldest will have a pronghorn buck tag & the youngest a varmint rifle. We're UBBER GEEKED.
You're so right... They are the greatest of all hunts!

Congratulations to your sons and to you. Times like this are cherished forever.
There's 2 dates they carve on your tombstone.
Everyone knows what they mean.
What's more important is time that is known
as the little dash inbetween.

Thank you for the kind words and thank you for letting me share my story.
There truly are great folks on this forum that understand the important things in life!! I am still walking on clouds, so I had to share the boy's hunt with you all.
I've actually been a long time member on this forum but have been away for a long time, so its nice to be back to the campfire.
As a matter of fact, I had a nice lunch with Yukoner in Denver about 6 or 7 years ago! Its nice to hear from you and I hope you are doing well!
Regards,
Ted I remember that visit! Good to see you back here again. Trust this will not be the last of your hunting reports, Ted

Great story. 2 kids, 2 270s, 2 shots, 2 elk.

PP,
Thanks for posting the story. I can't imagine how exhausted everyone must have been by the time all the work was done on two elk, but what a blessing for a father to have both his sons with him on a day spent hunting like this one.
Congratulations to your young men, and here's hoping that they are able to hunt together for many years to come.
