Default Antlerless Elk draw filled

It took a couple tries on intercepting the herd as they left their preferred field to feed in, this morning it all came together.
A nice 150 yard poke and the 280 AI did its job.





Yum yum got me some!

I had full confidence in you getting it done, even with the bolt on the funny side of that rifle. Bonus, no snow on the ground!

Nice bull calf!

We shot 2 at Suffield last year. They were delicious.
