My son's Nevada Muley. Unit 131-134

JakeInLasVegas · Oct 27, 2020

Three weeks ago we bumped some does bedded down at the top edge of a burn in a nice shady valley. I was pretty sure if we went back we might find a nice buck in that same location. We walked to the top of a small rock ledge with some good sight lines down into the valley. This part of the burn has some really deep arroyos carved out that the deer use to move between cover. Not more than 30 seconds after I told my son to be ready this buck jumped up and started walking away from where he was bedded down. He started at about 150 yards moving North East through the trees. He paused a couple of times behind clumps of trees without a clear shot opportunity. He finally stopped in the open at 273 yards to look back before he crested the hill. That was his fatal mistake. One shot from a trusty old Winchester Model 70 chambered in 7mm Rem Mag and he was down. It was a great hunt and a memory that will last a lifetime.

I only have one more year with this kid before he leaves home. I get choked up just thinking about him leaving. He is my right hand, a hard worker, an excellent student, and rapidly becoming a proficient woodsman. I couldn't be prouder of him.

We have three weeks until his Nevada bull elk hunt. We are both so excited for this opportunity to go chase some bulls that I can hardly sleep at night without dreaming of elk. There is nothing in the world that I love more than spending time outdoors with my kids.

Your first paragraph sums it up. Great job raising a fine young man who will undoubtedly take your teachings well into adulthood.

I've yet to draw an elk tag anywhere, so until then, I will have to live the hunt through you and many others. lol Good luck and I hope you guys take home a monster.
