Daughter’s first bull

[CrickBottom]

This is my daughter's 2021 WA Roosevelt bull. She got the full experience; the steep 4 mile hike in, the waiting for daylight in absolute crap weather while hunkered down in the timber, the excitement of seeing glowing elk hide across the canyon right at daylight, the outpouring of emotion when the bull drops in his tracks, the feeling of walking up to your first bull, the first time taking an elk apart in the field, the agonizing pack out, and finally the greatest feeling in the world...when the pack hits the tailgate.

She's killed a couple blacktails and was already hooked on hunting but after killing this bull, she's as obsessed as I am!

She put a really good shot on it too. 462yds with my 300rum. The photo is the elk laying dead.

Coooooool! What was her setup?! Looks like a neck shot? My daughter is a year away!

We actually killed 3 bulls that morning, all within a 1000yds radius. My buddy killed one of the others that was with my daughter's bull. We actually got to watch it take place from our vantage point, which was super cool to watch unfold, and our other buddy got his gf on her first bull as well. We had to call in a lot of help. Thank god for good friends!

The rifle is just a Fierce Fury with a Zeiss HD5 3-15x50, if that's what you meant by setup. Nothing fancy but it shoots REALLY good.

That is way cooler than eating homemade ice cream on a July afternoon! Thanks for being an involved and loving dad. You da man!

Thanks. I have a hunting partner for life that will never let me down.

Congratulations to the young hunter and a excellent shot to boot! Looks like the accubond performed as advertised.
