Had a great hunt this year. On the drive down Thursday I was telling the wife how much I really wanted to kill a buck. The last several years I have been helping more than hunting. When I glassed up this buck she refused to shoot first. One shot and he was down. A few minutes later I got on the 15s to make sure he was still down and a bigger buck was standing 10ft away. She missed but it was still a great time with family and friends.

His little 20ga did a number on these things. I was impressed.

Its worth the drive for a once in a lifetime trophy. Chris Favour in Flagstaff does great work. My brother in law dropped his off in December and picked it up in September.

Bacon wrapped goose on the trager.

Love that song!

Very nice!

Well Done!

Thanks to my buddy Mark who put the kids on a great field they had an amazing hunt. We had it all to ourselves and it was a target rich environment. I hadn't planned on shooting but once my son was done I used his little 20ga to knock out a limit. We were headed back by 730am with a few limits.

Dove from my sons hunt

When you have dad reloading and pointing out incoming targets on un educated birds it helps. Today he shot and reloaded all on his own and got 5.

I saw a big 6x6 this morning that had some hanging.

Probably some elk steak and corn to go with them

One of the best movies ever!

We gave up the rv camping about 10 years ago. Depending on the weather I will usually be in a hammock unless its really cold.

I started my son with a .410 because I had the one I started hunting with. Ammo was expensive and hard to find. He was mostly hunting squirrels and even 3in #4 shot was marginal and he complained about recoil. For Christmas I bought him a semi auto 20ga and he loves it. Ammo is much cheaper with a ton of options and he says it kicks less. With the .410 he would stop shooting after about 10 rounds but now with the 20ga he will shoot 2 boxes with no problem. This is the one I bought him. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/128786/escort+heps2022054y+ps+youth+20+ga+22+4+1+3+mossy+oak+bottomland+right+hand

The guy who illegally purchased an ar in Tucson. Sounds about right.

SST's have worked great for us on elk

Probably the best shotgun made. Should sell quick

We killed 2 elk with it last year. They didn't take a step. My brother in law killed his sheep at 400yds and he tipped over and never moved. I agree not my go to elk round but its pretty good.

Not the exact load but its IMR 4350. We used the nosler data and worked from there. https://www.nosler.com/270-winchester-short-magnum-wsm

I like the way your thinking. I get those velocities out of my .270WSM with 110gr accubonds
