Took my 10 year old boy elk hunting. Called this bull in, and he made a perfect 30 yard shot with his crossbow. Double lunged him and he went about 100 yards and went down. To say it was a proud dad moment would be a slight understatement!

Hey thanks everyone. It was an incredible moment for sure! Something that I'm sure will stick with us for a long time! This was a free range hunt, on a friends place in Oklahoma.
