Nicely done, that kid will remember that morning the rest of his days. Did you catch the bullet by any chance? Curious on how it held up as I have a similar cartridge.

Pat, the bullet did not exit but I didn't find it either. I believe it stopped in the offside ribs/rear part of the shoulder? I didn't gut the elk so I didn't bother going in after the bullet. I was pretty impressed with it though.

I wonder what his mom thought when she saw the eye... That he's a bad mofo! Good job bro! Putting someone else on an animal and especially a kid is better than killing one yourself. Take a bow!

That's great. And not only can the young man brag about his bull, but the uber cool scar to go with it. Well done, Tanner!

Good job, Tanner. I suspect the kid is hooked for life.
