Shooter McGavin

My 14 yr old daughter and 12 yr old son got Jr cow elk tags for 6A/5BS. My sons friend also got drawn, so we had 3 tags. Due to a busy swim and soccer schedule I could only pull off one scouting trip. Needless to say, I was gonna put the boots to the ground and hopefully fill a tag or two. Friday morning was beautiful, heard some late rut bugles and then started hearing shots off in the distance through the forest. I knew we were in the right spot. Nothing turned up so we went to get a hot lunch put on by the AES at the St Joseph’s jr elk camp. Met some great folks even went out with a mentor who, bless his heart tried to put us on some elk but couldn’t locate any due to all the pressure. I did find a beautiful arrowhead, that made my day, elk or no elk. Saturday morning came early and we had pulled over to look at a map when my son said, “dad, are those elk crossing the road?” I look up and catch 2 run by. We park and head toward the direction they are going. I take my 2 kids and my buddy and his son split up because we have 2 different bulls bugling. I head east, he heads west. I get to a small clearing and decide we should sit under a couple of trees and see what happens. My daughter says “ I’m hungry, can I eat my PB&J?” After she eats it, she says I see an elk and it’s walking towards us, I put my binos up to verify and say get the monopod and gun. I range it at 100yds and it stops behind a tree, I asked her to wait for it to turn broadside, of course she says “ I know dad”. It continues to zig and zig between the trees getting closer. I range it again at 84 yds, I get excited and say shoot whenever you’re ready, once again she says, “stop it dad, I know”. As soon as I put the binos up, the crack of the 270wsm goes off. I look frantically to see where it went, I get scared because I can’t find it. I see something move to the left behind a tree, clearly it’s been hit and wobbly. I point it out to her for one last finishing shot. Gun goes off again and it drops. The 3 H’s happened immediately after ( Hootin, Howlering and High-5’s). On the radio to our buddies to get the truck, started the gutless method and had it in the truck within a couple of hours. Got it to the butcher and she was able to pick her meat choices. My son and his friend did not fill their tag but had a fantastic time at the elk camp, shooting BB guns and being outside despite the rain, wind and muddy conditions.

If this guy makes it the next couple years he may have some pretty cool looking antlers....... We all know that cows fart, but I have proof..........

Almost got our limit yesterday, morning was sort of kind of cool, the breeze kept the bugs away and not one snake, great day!!!!

SOLD

Looking to sell a used Springfield Armory xds45, absolutely love the size of this gun for conceal ability purposes. Comes with original box, (3) mags and other goodies that come with the box. I have put 3 boxes through it, I did purchase it used so I have know idea what the actual round count is, shape is well above good. Only reason I'm selling it, is that the wife likes my xds9 better. Located in Tucson, very good possibility I'll be in Phx tomorrow if someone is interested. Will post pics when time allows. $380.00

Attention all archery hunters: purchasing this hip quiver will surely increase your chances of harvesting a buck. Also think of all the 3D shoots you can attend, And if you are single,this will without a doubt attract a very fine 101 how can you go wrong?

Appreciate all the +1 comments, you won't be disappointed. TTT

Nothing on the rubber molding states that they are or aren't.
