Kid gets his 1st elk

A miss and a long walk in the middle of the night can certainly test the medal of any hunter. Christian Quested and his hunting partner Nathan had done it all followed a trophy elk for over a week and finally got it lined up for a decent shot about 700 yards. But Christian practices shots at a thousand all the time. Anyway, the bull was lined up, Christian pulled the trigger and missed. The bull, swung his head around and disappeared. Speaker2: It took us almost five hours to get back from where we were hunting at that spot the next day, we couldn't find him again, and so we found a smaller bowl that he'd pushed off his cows. That bowl wasn t smart and actually was still coming to calls. So the neat thing was, since it wasn't a personal best for either one of them, we got on the satellite and texted Nathan's wife and had him bring 11 year old son up, and we came down off the mountain and went and got him, brought him up and got him in position the next day and he got this ball. It was a solid three hundred point six by six that had its fifth and sixth broke off. On one side. It was really unique, had a lot of character who look and bull probably hook that kid for life. That was his first animal. We might have to have him along with us all the time. Oh, I don't know, but obviously some of the hunts he can't do. But almost every story, whether we'd been successful or not always comes out being enjoyable. Speaker1: Isn't that the truth? That's why they call it hunting. It ain't like shooting fish in a barrel.
