1 for 2 in 5B.

[Lucafu1]

Just got back home yesterday from 5B where my wife filled her tag and my daughter did not. She could or should have but I screwed her by bringing out my long range rifle instead of what she was carrying throughout the hunt. She was a good sport about it and glad her mom dropped the elk. We walked alot between scouting and hunting and according to my wife's tracker we finished at 54.24 miles. Friday was the worst as we were packing the elk out until almost 11pm. Luckily by the end of the hunt my daughter was ready for more and wants a bigger bull than her mother. 

 

I want to thank @tinyturtle and @Coues&Coyotes for offering to help if I needed it . Chris was also very helpful during the hunt explaining the unit. He definitely knows the area (which  is huge). I've hunted 5B twice (successfully) before but was never able to check out many parts the the u it.

Congrats on the bull.  I hear this happening a lot when someone misses a shot when using a new or someone else's rifle. It even happened to me in Mexico a few years ago.

Thanks. She didn't shoot. We were slowly making our way back from a spot where a longer shot is needed and peaked around a tree where we seen him. So I was trying to set up the tripod for her and put the rifle on it. Hers has a bi-pod, same as the wife. By the time I got it deployed he was looking at us at 125 yards so I told my wife to take him and he fell instantly.

Just awesome. Congrats on your wife’s success. I can’t wait for your daughter to kill a bigger bull. May the draw Gods be good to her next cycle.
