[QUOTE="7mmRHB, post: 255890, member: 3584"] Great write up and pics GG, I want to thank you and your dad for including me on this hunt !! It was a hunt we’ll be talking about for a long time to come !! There were a couple of things about the shots I would like to add. After the initial shot and miss, the corrections put the next shot into the vitals ,center of rib cage, but back about 5” from the shoulder. I told GG to give me one click right and one up at that point, and the next three shots were no more than six inches apart !!!! Great shooting from a less than ideal shooting position !! Says a lot about ol’ GGs skill level, and the Thunder is no slouch in the accuracy department either !!! As far as being a great spotter , Not True, Groupers being kind because I froze my but off for six hours in the dark !!! LOL !! There was something special about the spotting that day, but it wasn’t me. The trace that evening was something to behold !! The sun was close to the horizon and about 75 to 80* angle to the shot and the trace was as crisp as I’ve ever seen. It looked like a huge corrugated pipe arcing down on the Elk with one difference, I could see the Bullet out in front of the trace !!! It looked like a 2 foot long bright gold arrow with the trace tapering back from it !! I could watch it go right into the Elk and see the hair lift !! Then the trace would follow it right in. I’ll probably never see the bullet do that again in my life !!! I also wanted to mention that GGs Dad has an unbelievable motor, ( he can run up and down those Mountains all day long. Literally ) it’s always fun to have him along !! Especially on these tough hunts LOL!! That was One Tough Cow for sure !!! Can’t believe she was standing after any one of those shots??? ----RHB [/QUOTE]
