It will be amazing if he scores on an elk to! He's lucky to have mule deer right on their 85 acres but he got his buck about 3/4 mile down the street on a neighbors property where they had permission. They actually laid out in an old dried up pond to be in the right place for a shot. The elk won't be that easy. They'll have to travel a lot further and definitely have some luck on their side. His dad travels around their area for work and has been doing some scouting to hopefully increase their odds on getting an elk.

What a nice trophy. Great shot!! Good luck on your elk hunt!
My 12 year old nephew Clint made an excellent 210 yard heart shot with a 30-06 on his 1st buck, a nice 5x5 Mulie, Sunday morning 10/18/09 out in South West Colorado, where they live. The 30-06 is the same rifle his grandpa shot his 1st buck with 60 years earlier. His dad took him out hunting and is pictured with him in one of the below photos. He will be going for his 1st Elk next in a few weeks and we are wishing him the Best of Luck! He has been waiting for the day he could go big game hunting for a long time because in Colorado you have to be at least 12 before you can hunt big game.
Congratulations to Clint and to his dad for helping him to get out there and succeed!
Had fun down on the farm for opening day weekend of bow season. Hunted Saturday morning/evening and Sunday morning. Had deer and turkey around several times but only deer close enough to shoot after legal time expired Saturday night and I could not see them. Even after I thought they were gone, I turned on my hat light to climb back down the tree and there were 2 young bucks standing 20 yards away. We got a few new bucks on trail cam to.
Went out to check trail cams over the weekend & saw where we got a couple nice shooter bucks in the last 2 weeks off of just 3 cams we put out on one smaller area of the farm!
Congratulations to Clint and to his dad for helping him to get out there and succeed!

A rabbit dug a deep little borough out in the middle of our yard and has a whole brood of baby bunnies down in there!
The bunnies are gettin bigger and I count at least 5 of them in there!
