Hunting & Fishing My GAP's first kill....

[Huntr]

After another frustrating year of not drawing any tags in New Mexico, I picked up a late season cow tag for my son and I. Awesome hunt and lots of elk resulted in a full freezer for the family!

My GAP Non-Typical in 308 was awesome! 155gr Scenar and it was lights out for my cow shot offhand on a steep uphill shot as the elk were gettin' the heck out of Dodge! My elk was quartering away which is why the entry (pictured) looks far back.

My son made a great shot on his elk that was headed back to the timber- 1 shot from his Rem. 708 with 140gr Accubond dropped her on the spot.

Spent a few hours today shooting at the Whittington Center and headed home tomorrow. Hope eveyrone has a Happy New Year!

How much meat does an elk like that yield?

Amazing the size of those animals. Good kill.

Just stocked the freezer with 530lbs of packaged elk. My elk netted 286lbs of packaged meat, and my sons netted 244lbs of packaged meat. It's gonna be a tasty winter!
