First elk

[GoWyo!]

Howdy,

Well, it took us awhile, but my son filled his first elk tag. Cow/calf tag in 117 N of Newcastle. We worked in on a bugling bull and he gave up an old dry cow to us out of his harem! One shot, 250 yds through the lungs. 200 gr. Ballistic tip. 338 win mag out of his AV Sako. She dropped instantly, raised her head and that was it. We had a drag of 20 yds to a tree, pulled her up after dressing her out, backed the F350 right under her. @40 yds off of a two-track. 2 weeks prior he tried to get a shot off at one in a deadfall area.

High five!!!

Thanks all,

He did great. He also jumped in on butchering both cows. (I got a hot, young cow that evening) He ground a bunch of burger, sausage and brauts, along with the steaks. Everything turned out excellent! I was worried about the cow I shot, she was in full estrous. Removed her lower legs/ glands right away, she is delicious!

Congrats on the success!
