That is one H*LL of an elk! What an adrenaline rush that must have been.
Congrats and tell us the whole story when time allows.

@Andrew Short - Man, I am so happy for you and your dad; that sounds like such a great experience! Congratulations!
PS - I got the tracking number on the scope today, so whoever you left in charge of the shipping took good care of business.

Good morning from Montana.
I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.
Best,
Kelly Palmer
