RE: Getting ready to hit the road.
Thanks all.
Rosko,
The first shot he took and missed was withhis Winchester Apex in the picture loaded with 130gr of Pyro pellets and a 250SW. The load that connected was from a Remington 700ML loaded with 90gr of Pyro pellets and a Barnes bullet (not sure which one). The hit was just behindthe near shoulder with her quartering sightly toward them. It hit parts of both lungs and clipped the liver exiting at the rear of the far side rib cage, about 18" worth of elk in between. You can see the exit wound near his right hand. She only took about 5 steps and fell over.
Having an ex pro guide/outfitter along for the hunt made this an excellent hunt for his first time. I'm hoping he will be available for my hunt in December.
