Well done @noharleyyet !!
Any info on the rifle? Looks Weatherby-esque.
Big congrats to KenJr. A mighty fine way to spend the new year.

Should be a 2025 cow, no?

Well done!

 

[WildWill]

Congratulations! So is papa bear next?

Think he's saying it's a redo/remake of the same hunt as last year.

 

[hank4elk]

Late season depredation tags. Desert ranches that get slammed after draw hunts.
I believe.
Ken should be up next.

Looks like a M70 in a McMillan stock.
Betting in Remington Ultra @mtmuley

Nice-looking setup. Love it. (That bottom metal fooled me.)
Looking forward to the recap.

 

[B&CTom]

Fine looking rifle, healthy looking cow elk, and a happy hunter! Outstanding

 

[CRJR45]

24 , 25 , whatever , nice cow ! Looks yummy !

 

[noharleyyet]

Good fellowship, beautiful country...

Took her @ dawn yesterday with my son's RUM @ a dialed 500 uphill . . . note the same scope bite he took last year. I can't say enough about the performative aspects of Lupe's VX5HD CDS. The low firedot setting with clear to the edges sight pic are outstanding. 181 HH 30 cal at 3280.

Great job Ken and KJr!

Damn how come our kids look to be getting older? Can't be that we are as well could it? Maybe its just that we've been shipping photos, etc. back and forth here for 20+ years now lol....

 

[rmyoung1]

That’s fantastic, Ken. Big congrats to both of you!

Jr. is a steady hand and co-pilot...his keen vision frustrates the hell out of me, and him, I'm sure, when he's telling me (calmly) "Dad, they're right there"...

Lots of cutting to do congratulations!

I remember a November morning about 20 years ago meeting my dad at the truck after a morning hunt. After asking about his morning he looked at me and said "It's hell getting old boy". He'd had a good buck in front of him but for the first time in his life couldn't see well enough to use his open sight model 94. Last time he hunted with it got a #1 with a scope y'all would have got along.
