First elk - still giddy as a schoolgirl....

Thanks guys, I was out of town over the weekend and see this thread still going!

This is probably one of the most epic trips I can recall in all my years on the interwebs. You're living the dream. Can't imagine what a good wife, son and dog it takes to make something like this not turn in to a mutiny.

I'm glad this thread got brought back up. I missed it too. My hat's off to you Tod! Great adventure and extra points for the quality dad trips. Your son will remember these times with you forever.

Great story - I enjoyed reading it again a second time. So you got the bull at ~400 yards with what I'm assuming was .308 130g TTSX? How did they open at that range?

Awesome trip, story and memories with the family.

It was a .270 WIN shooting 130 grain TTSX. I'm thinking they opened up, since they did not pass through and they should have been going plenty fast to do so at that distance.
