So my brothers son Charlie, my name sake, just took his first Bull Elk in New Mexico! I couldn’t be more proud of a tough and tenacious 11yo! Congrats to Charlie!!!
One Hell of a Bull!

I know he does, he’s the youngest in a long line of our hunting family and has wanted to get afield for years…
He’s such a cool kid, you would love him!

thats great

i have a passion for getting kids hunting
we host around 20 kids a year with various groups and their parents, great to see them out there with smiles on there faces doing normal kids stuff, shooting 22, pellet guns, climbing trees, playing in the sand etc
they are the future of this esteemed past time

Yes, exactly

So cool, way to go Charlie! I love seeing kids out hunting! My son was 12 when he drew a tough tag near where we lived in WY. Similar outcome.

Wow! Great job Charlie! And great job to your brother as well for raising Charlie right!

Not nearly enough tenacious or determined kids these days.. those character traits will serve him well in life…

Wow very special he will surely remember it for the rest of his life.

NM does it right for youth hunts. Prime season hunts. Decent odds

Great pics and congratulations to your nephew!

Now we are going to need some more details..... Caliber weapon, type of ammo, distance shot, ect.

Or perhaps get him a screen name and have him do his first hunting report?

You guys out west are so fortunate and awesome to be able to take your kids hunting for elk. Here in the south it’s your first whitetail as a kid that gets you blooded. I can’t imagine the rush of seeing my sons when they were that age getting an elk. And such fabulous eating too. Dadgum, so excited for y’all!

So he shot the Bull at 200 yards with a suppressed custom Remington 700 (trued 700 action, Lilia barrel, Timney trigger, McMillan stuck) in 308 Win at 200 yards. The bullet was a 168gr Nosler AccuBond. He center punched the Bull and took out all the vitals and dropped him…
Kids got a bright hunting future!
