Mateo's First Elk

Recommended Posts

A young one but I was not not complaining during the pack out! A big thank you to other hunters who helped us out when my brass split after the shot and left 3/4 of the brass in the chamber. The cow was hurt and I let it walk as I had no choice. I returned to the truck to attempt to free the shell in the chamber when two gentlemen (Gale and Glen) from Tucson with their grandson brady came along and offered an extra rifle they had and we accepted. We returned to the area and 100 yards into the burned forest I spotted the cow and she was put down for good.

Hunters are always ready to help and that is good for anyone to know if they get into a situation!

My 12 year old will never forget the bulls bugling and all the action for one morning. Life is good!

Another case of good people needing help and finding it in other hunters
