RE: Two calibers ... two elk.
I guided a young man and his dad on a mule deer hunt some years back. The dad had bought the boy an old really beat up Pre 64 model 70 in 270 Win. The boy had put in many hours of work on the stock and reblueing. The first day out we got him close to a nice Mule deer buck. He got excited and missed him clean but the next day an even bigger buck presented him with a shot of close to 300 yards. This time he was calm and laid down and made a perfect chest shot. What a proud dad the older guy was and even a proud old guide. It too was his first animal. Thats what hunting is all about there is nothing like seeing a new hunter hooked for life. Hooked on the RIGHT STUFF.
