Took the wife and one grand-daughter elk hunting again today. Got in to them at 0730. The grand-daughter missed a spike at 100 yards walking. I hurried her too much. At 0830 we found them again and the wife, AKA "One Shot", because she rarely shoots more than once at game, struck again. One shot from her 35 Whelen and this old boys freezer training started in earnest.151396

Outstanding!!!
Many Thanks for sharing. Keep hoping to draw one of the 800 tags here in KY, but no luck yet.

Oh man that's nice! I have a Whelen in the works. Did she use cast? I have the NOE 359009 mold.

Bravo, again, and again, and again. She's a little game killer ain't she.lol Your family must not go to the meat store very often. Good shot, good rifle choice, and good cartridge. I guess you have to take a day off to go spend some time in the woods with the granddaughter again.

Nice bull and it's hard not to love a 35 Whelen.

Greetings and Congratulations !
That is a fine looking bull. Walking in fine country and seeing monsters like that one must be thrilling. Thank you for posting this.
The Whelens are still tops for hunting. Been shooting the 375 for some time and no regrets.
