Great hunt! Thanks for the great write up and sharing your hunt with us. That was a heck of a first post and love the pictures. Congrats on a great buck and welcome to the site.

150 grain Berger VLD. My .270 loves it.

My card was hit last night. Jr cow elk hunt for my oldest boy and my niece. First elk tags for them we are all excited!

This was pretty funny.

Nothing wrong with the weatherby vanguard or the .270. That is what my 10 year old boy shoots and he shoots it sub MOA out to 200 yards and is confident out to 400. We shoot the 150 grain Berger VLD. Killed three coues with it last year and it more than got the job done on all 3.

Where exactly did you find this? I am not a tacomaworld.com member so having a hard time navigating. I may look into this since I am also having a heck of a time finding a 4x4. sorry, I just saw this here are some of the links: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-builds/153323-4x4-wanna-come-true.html http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-builds/264266-prerunner-4x4-build.html or: http://www.ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146517 http://www.ttora.com/wiki/index.php/Prerunner_to_4_wheel_drive_conversion

very cool! thanks for sharing.

great video and a great buck. I really appreciate all the work that goes into making a video like that. Again, very nice job and congrats.

Just an FYI if anyone finds a good deal on one of those "POS" pre runners guys at tacomaworld.com are converting them to 4x4s for around $1800.

i only see two as well, the second one took me a minute. I can't make out antlers on either of them.

they are great and hard to find used. I'm leaving Friday morning to go to Palm Springs,CA to buy the one I found. 2002 double cab prerunner. I'm excited. I know this doesn't really help you...but good luck in your search and if I see anything I will let you know.

The words of this poem say it better than I ever could. I know that we have a Father in Heaven. Just like has been said he allows us to choose. The Race attributed to Dr. D.H. "Dee" Groberg Whenever I start to hang my head in front of failures face, my downward fall is broken by the memory of a race. A childrens race, young boys, young men; how I remember well, excitement sure, but also fear, it wasnt hard to tell. They all lined up so full of hope, each thought to win that race or tie for first, or if not that, at least take second place. Their parents watched from off the side, each cheering for their son, and each boy hoped to show his folks that he would be the one. The whistle blew and off they flew, like chariots of fire, to win, to be the hero there, was each young boys desire. One boy in particular, whose dad was in the crowd, was running in the lead and thought My dad will be so proud. But as he speeded down the field and crossed a shallow dip, the little boy who thought hed win, lost his step and slipped. Trying hard to catch himself, his arms flew everyplace, and midst the laughter of the crowd he fell flat on his face. As he fell, his hope fell too; he couldnt win it now. Humiliated, he just wished to disappear somehow. But as he fell his dad stood up and showed his anxious face, which to the boy so clearly said, Get up and win that race! He quickly rose, no damage done, behind a bit thats all, and ran with all his mind and might to make up for his fall. So anxious to restore himself, to catch up and to win, his mind went faster than his legs. He slipped and fell again. He wished that he had quit before with only one disgrace. Im hopeless as a runner now, I shouldnt try to race. But through the laughing crowd he searched and found his fathers face with a steady look that said again, Get up and win that race! So he jumped up to try again, ten yards behind the last. If Im to gain those yards, he thought, Ive got to run real fast! Exceeding everything he had, he regained eight, then ten... but trying hard to catch the lead, he slipped and fell again. Defeat! He lay there silently. A tear dropped from his eye. Theres no sense running anymore! Three strikes Im out! Why try? Ive lost, so whats the use? he thought. Ill live with my disgrace. But then he thought about his dad, who soon hed have to face. Get up, an echo sounded low, you havent lost at all, for all you have to do to win is rise each time you fall. Get up! the echo urged him on, Get up and take your place! You were not meant for failure here! Get up and win that race! So, up he rose to run once more, refusing to forfeit, and he resolved that win or lose, at least he wouldnt quit. So far behind the others now, the most hed ever been, still he gave it all he had and ran like he could win. Three times hed fallen stumbling, three times he rose again. Too far behind to hope to win, he still ran to the end. They cheered another boy who crossed the line and won first place, head high and proud and happy -- no falling, no disgrace. But, when the fallen youngster crossed the line, in last place, the crowd gave him a greater cheer for finishing the race. And even though he came in last with head bowed low, unproud, you would have thought hed won the race, to listen to the crowd. And to his dad he sadly said, I didnt do so well. To me, you won, his father said. You rose each time you fell. And now when things seem dark and bleak and difficult to face, the memory of that little boy helps me in my own race. For all of life is like that race, with ups and downs and all. And all you have to do to win is rise each time you fall. And when depression and despair shout loudly in my face, another voice within me says, Get up and win that race!

awesome looking country for sure, thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

What a bunch of great bucks! Thanks for sharing.

I was thinking of taking the family up to the snow on Monday for the holiday. We were thinking of going up to the Young road just south of the 260. Anyone know if there is any snow in that area still? Did it all melt already? Thinking we might change our plans and do a hike somewhere closer to town if there isn't any snow. Thanks in advance. We live in Mesa.

how far away were you when filiming? I love this video, I have watched it multiple times.

Simply awesome! Really great footage of some great bucks. Thanks for sharing it with us.

nice! congrats on a great buck, glad everything came together for you. Thanks for sharing.
