Wow long shot good shooting. I know lots of guys who cant hit a barn door at 50 lol. I dont think I would ever try that shot on a live animal but hey he did & made a good shot.

Best get a six pack aswell. I wonder what they were using for ammo, maybe the new Nosler long range Accubonds. They sure did a number on that elk.

Ive got a Zeiss 3.5-10 x50 z 800 on my 7 rem mag, which limits me to 800 yards. I think im going to sell it & get a Night Force with one of those fancy dials on it. Which NF scope will let me shoot out past 1000 yards?

Ha,ha that rack is heavier than the kid.
I wish we had a 1000 m range in LM.

Good shot, but I question the ethics of this. As the guy said at 3:35, the first shot was just below the animal's belly. That could just as easily have been a wounded animal heading into the trees that they would possibly never have found. I'd be more interested in seeing how I could teach the kid to make use of the lay of the land, cover, and wind in order to get close enough to make as ethical a shot as possible.

Agreed & I think most of us would do just that, get closer. I would never take that shot on a healthy animal,to many things that could go wrong.
Non the less the youngster made a good shot.
Just go's to show what practice can do for you're shooting!

And please stop saying the youngster made a good shot. He missed, risked wounding the animal, taking a bull from your wildlife, while he continues to sling lead at other animals. Not to mention they are teaching a kid and viewers that this is an ethical shot to take.
