    Great post. Was the camp cook his grandson? Three generations on a elk hunt, very cool. I missed my trophy this year at 325 yrds. I am just not good enough to have 3 seconds to aim and shoot at 300yrds.

    Yes a three generation elk hunt. We have had elk jr. in camp for at least a day or two for three seasons.

    300 yards and three seconds is tuff work. Sounds like you made the right decision to not rush a bad shot.

    Long story made short...Camera was in my pocket and I was not with my father. By the time I got there it was in pieces.
