Here's a video of my son's AZ elk hunt. Lots of lessons learned for both him and I.

What a great conclusion to an awesome hunt with your son.
I thought the area looked familiar but when I saw the power plant in the background I knew exactly where you were.
It's a tough hunt for sure but I'm glad you and your son kept at it.

Congrats to you both!

Thanks. I figured how low the elk densities are there shouldn't be too many people fighting to get to that spot.

Nice work dad- way to persevere! Your son is comfortable on camera and he should start taking the lead and you film!

Nice going and thanks for sharing.

Now get that kid some binos! Even if he was not using rifle scope to 'glass' in that one scene, every hunter needs binos.

I had him a chest pack with a pair of Swarovkis in it, but he didn't like them so in the truck they stayed. I get the dangers of glassing through a riflescope, but the reality was I had already checked the canyon for people and just had him glassing for elk in the shadows.

So cool to learn those lessons together and share that experience. My boys are 3 and 1. Can't wait to impart my hunting knowledge with them, as well as grow and learn alongside them one day (hoping they share my passion when they get there).
