I asked my daughter what she would like for her upcoming college graduation and her reply was to go elk hunting with me. Below is a picture of her first elk hunt and bull.
She used a Mod 700 Rem in 270 Winchester loaded with 140 Nosler Partition, surplus 4831 and WLR primers producing a velocity of 3030 fps. We hunted with Pete & Lisa Turner of Colorado Mountain Expeditions. Michael, our guide called the bull in to about 90 - 120 yards with a cow call.
Her fist shot was on the mark and bull ran about 20 - 30 yards and staggered. Both the guide and I told her to shoot him again which she did and the 6x6 bull was down for good. The exit wounds were 2 inches apart. The smile says it all.
