Finnaly got one...

[Bigbuckkiller]

Drove on to some some public up on the Grand Mesa and spotted this girl. Made a short stalk and took the shot at 250 yrds and hit a tad low and a tad far back but as she was quartering away and was up hill it turned out to be a good shot.. Got to about a 100 yrds and saw her looking at me.... I got down and shot her in the head (i felt bad that she suffered that long..). We quartered her out and made the short 500 yrd pack out... It was nice to have my little brother there, he wanted me to shoot instead of him because he said "I want meat in the freezer". I feel confident that he would have made the shot but he didn't.. Hopefully next year I'll get him into some more elk and we will practice a little more this off season.

Happy for your adventure and successful harvest. Glad that you were thoughtful with your stalk/shots and that your brother knew himself enough to defer to you on the shot. Here's to more range time and confidence for both of you.
