Boy gets First Elk!
 

Well it took a little while but he got one. :D
Take a look she had to be the biggest cow in the herd.

I was hoping he would shoot a calf. :p
To say he was happy is the understatement of the year. Just 3 days earlier we had hiked 5 miles up a canyon, in the sleet to get a 350 yard shot that he misjudged and shot low as they went over the ridge. He looked at me and said, "I missed? How could I miss a 250 yard shot?"
I said, "try 350 and that is how you missed. Enough said. Lets head back to the truck."
