Our Little Hunter - Shayles First Elk

Shayle (16-Junior in High-School) got her first Bull Elk!  She and Dad have been hunting on their days off for the past three weekends, and getting down to the final days. With a special permit for a bull, and after seeing literally hundreds of elk, including nearly 80 bulls, they finally got close enough to take a shot at one. While stalking through the timber to try for a bull they had seen earlier out on an open ridge, they ran into three more bulls laying in the trees. At 200 yards, and the bull in bed, Shayle shot a beautiful 4x4 bull elk with her Dad's .338 Winchester. She made a perfect heart shot, and killed it instantly! Dad got it on video, but was just as excited as Shayle, so some of the film is a bit wild. Congratulations Shayle on your first bull elk! What an awesome Father-Daughter experience that was...
