Shameless Brag - Stepson's 6x6 elk

[Cabin Fever]

My stepson, who is a bow hunter, got this 6x6 elk in New Mexico yesterday. I guess it doesn't hurt being a Baptist pastor when it comes to getting blessed.

He had to track the elk 300 yards. It had laid down and it was finished with a second shot. Based on where the elk presented itself in the trees, there was only two choices: a liver shot or a shot that would have hit the shoulder (scapula).

Some real skills at play there. It takes alot of grit to keep it together and make those kinds of decisions when you've got limited options- that's a high pressure situation and he made it Happen. Respect.
