At that young age im betting the boy will get another shot at getting a tag and he'll connect in the very near future. Best of luck.

***I think that's about 3 or 4 posts now where you've stated that "fact" and in case you missed it, which I think you did, the kid had help along with him and either a bipod or tripod for good support in the field. He certainly wasn't going to attempt shooting either one off hand at an animal!!!

Are we even discussing whether the 30/30 or the 30/06 is the better elk cartridge?
If a kid can shoot a 30/30 he can go just a little bigger and shoot a 30/06, thereby having a far better elk rifle. If the 06 is still too much gun I suggest our young hunter stay with deer and his 30/30 for a couple more years.
