Someone needs some 270 ammo ! It's one of the calibers I personally don't have or I'd switch for 308 myself. Any brand of 308 any quantity would work! It's going into the kids giveaway.

Got a ammo donation for the kids giveaway and have a few calibers that I need to trade for other stuff. Two boxes of 270 ammo for trade need 308

I'm going to try and get some updated pictures of each prize package . Lots of things have been added to the packages.

Up

Yep before the hunt when my wife and I had set up the trailer . Dan and Aj were in a small two man tent for the first night . My wife felt so bad for them as it was real cold . We left that morning as I had to work Monday and when I got back up on Wednesday Dan had moved to a much better camp spot but they spent a few nights in tents . Luckily Dan's dad was on his way up with his trailer also . It was definitely cold at times and with the wind it was super cold 🥶 . I'm sure everyone was glad to be in heated trailers . Dan also forgot to mention how he backed into a tree . After the shot Dan had gone to make sure the elk was down. We both had seen the elk drop at the shot but elk are tough animals. It was just enough time to make you nervous. He had probably walked right past the bull as it was in some thick thorn bush . He could smell it but couldn't see it . So he came back to where we had setup for the shot . He and Aj hopped in his truck and went around the bend while I stayed put so we had a line to go to and a solid direction to the elk . It didn't take long for Dan to see Aj's bull from the two track . So as he was backing up Aj was distracting him 🙄 probably playing a joke on him . I see him backing up and all I could do is say tree,tree,tree! I know he never had a chance to hear me but he squared up and ran right into the tree . It was enough to jolt them forward and surprisingly there was only a small scratch . You'd have thought it would have bent up the bumper or blew out the glass in the camper shell but all was good 👍. We thought dead bull on a steep hill no problem we will just roll him down . Not so much ! !!! We struggled to move that bull probably 30 or so yds . A quick trip back to camp with Dan's dad to get my S x S . All the while Dan was cleaning a trail down thru all the thorn bush . One S x S up as high as it would go . The winch line all out three tow straps some mule tape ,rope ,and another 20 or so yds of pulling the bull down . We were hooked and pulling with the winch . It took 3 or 4 re - hooks to get the bull down the hill to where we were able to get some great pictures. Aj got hands on with the gutting and helped every bit of the way . He didn't want the war paint but we insisted it was tradition for a first animal . We even made him keep it on for dinner at the lodge. If anyone is wondering the shot was between the trees and up hill over 400 yds . You can see the single dead tree up the hill thru the opening . The bull was just before the tree feeding at the shot .

The camera was definitely a issue as there's no contrast to adjust and it easily washed out . I think there's alot of improvement that needs to go into these to get it right . Any weather and or sun and you couldn't see anything on the screen . This was a setup with lots of reviews and definitely not cheap. Maybe a few minutes with someone in there engineering department could help them make a much better setup for disabled hunters . I know there's different setups for hunters with little or no use of there hands and once you get dialed in on target it definitely would not cause the gun to move .

Absolutely one of the best most stressful, fun,and rewarding hunts I've ever been on . I would encourage anyone to do the same thing and help if you can . I'll agree with Dan we definitely needed and got a miracle. For that bull to stop in the only lane to shoot we had . It was just 10 feet wide and uphill. Once that bull dropped it was a absolute sigh of relief . I wanted for Aj to get a elk more than anything and we definitely were on our last chance . I'll give it to Aj he never once complained and was always being a joker . It's my pleasure to call you guys friends.
