Pictured below is my "hero", crusty Bill Hoppe of Gardiner MT, after coaching my son through his first elk kill. He is saying, "You got the best gun, son. Learn this .270 and you will never need anything else. Wish I could get that through some of my other hunters' heads"
Bill can be a little rough around the edges for some adults.
Bottom line he knows how to hunt elk.
IMHO You can not find a better teacher for a young hunter than Bill Hoppie.
Bill is the person you want to hire to put meat in the freezer. He is as good or better than any outfitter in the country.
