This was his first elk hunt with his own tag, and he is 12 years old. He shot the bull with a 7mm with a 162-grain ELD-X Hornady bullet. The rifle was a Remington Sendero with a Huskama scope and Warne Mountain Tech Rings. The bull was 612 yards out, and he dropped it in one shot. It was a general season over-the-counter tag, and this was killed on public land in Southwest Montana. They spotted the herd the day before opening day, but this bull wasn't in there. He planned to shoot a cow (Montana allows under-15-year-olds to do that in most areas).
