NEW SITKA Ambient 75

Festivus freezer filler

The spirit of Festivus is strong this year.

My 16 year old son had two tags in his pocket this morning. Now he has none.

I don't think I've ever seen so many elk in one day on a hunt. He did some very admirable shooting at 366 yards, since it was difficult to close the distance with so many eyes watching.

Please don't think we are kill-joys, as all the meat has gone to people who need it. It was a great day.

Nice work putting the animals in the freezer at this time of the year.

I have a couple model 70's in the gunsafe, one is the EW like yours, but in a .325wsm, neat gun, just wish the stock had an extra inch LOP to it. Shoots ok, doesn't put em into a thumbnail at 100m, but good enough for the larger deer species i use it on.
 
Job well done! I guess that's festivus to the rest of us! Merry Christmas and enjoy the elk steaks!!
 
You all had a heck of a season! Good to see your son representing the Old Dominion. :) I had a good visit to that neck of the woods in October and hung a tag on a similar elk. Veal elk are delicious. :D
 
That looks like an absolute blast. I need to plan on something like that next year.
