loco4coues Report post Posted November 15, 2013 I had the whole story typed up and I lost it so here is the short version: Opening weekend yielded 29 elk, 2 stalks and no shots. Couldn't hunt again until yesterday and only in the morning so we were trying to make the most of the last day. Tanner shot his cow at 300 yards with one shot. .270, 150 gr. Berger VLD. She was slightly quartering away. The bullet entered right behind the shoulder and exited her neck. She made it about 12 inches and cart wheeled into the bush. Bailee shot her cow 25 minutes later on the same ridge. 215 yards. She shot her cow in her bed. .308, 168 hornady a-max. Thanks again to Randy for getting us into this spot and congrats to Tanner and Bailee on their first big game animals. This was the coolest hunt I've ever been on. More exciting and rewarding than any of my personal kills to watch my boy take his first! Here are some pictures: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
