Shooting skill can be crucial at the moment of truth, especially on elk. Good opportunities are often hard-earned, particularly when hunting DIY, on public land, with an over-the-counter tag. This episode details two very special hunts, when my sons each shot their first bull. Both were in challenging scenarios, and both boys did everything right.
