Son’s first elk

[marley]

My son and I had a great weekend together getting his first bull. One shot from my .300 NMI shooting 245 grain bergers at 2885 fps. If Hunter laid down he couldn’t see the bull so a standing shot was all he had. At 480 yards standing with my tripod he made a perfect shot. The bull didn’t even take a step. With my kids moving out on their own, the scene of my son standing over his bull with a grin ear to ear, and the sun lighting up the peaks behind us I couldn’t help the tears. Chalk this day up as a life highlight.

Congrats to your son- nice bull! Seems like llamas are getting more popular every year. I can see the reason as far as getting guys deep in the back country, but I am partial to good horses, I can ride and not have to hike as much

Congrats and great bull. Those LLamas sure are nice. After my NV wilderness trip this year and killing a bull 8 miles from the truck I sure can appreciate how useful they would be for a pack out.

No but I think my friend got a couple of his llamas from him.

He's a good dude. Grew up a few miles apart. Llamas seem like a game changer going in a few miles. Again congrats that's going to be a hard one to beat for your son!
