Wyoming elk bound with the Hawken!

[Ethan Grotheer]

Well, got very fortunate and had a good friend arrange a cow elk hunt for me in Wyoming. On the road now for the opener on the 1st. This time I will be toting my grandfather's .50 TC Hawkin. He passed away when I was 7 yrs old and his passion for the outdoors inspired mine. I'll also be carrying his powder bag and horn that he made, shooting maxi balls that he had molded, and I'll be wearing his buckskin pants that he also made. Wondering if he ever imagined his grandson would be carrying his Hawken and hunting elk In Wyoming. ..
I'm pretty excited. Anyone else going to be hunting in Wyoming?

Sounds like your Grandpa was quite a man. Have fun, be safe, and make sure you post photos and a story when you get back. Good luck!

Good luck on the hunt.

Your grandfather is probably going to be right there with you.

Cool. Keep your powder dry!

We're all looking forward to some pictures...even if there aren't any dead elk in them. It will be a memorable hunt no matter what. Best wishes for a safe and memorable hunt.

Good luck!
That is a good hunting rifle. The TC Hawken .50 is the rifle I tote around the woods when I hunt.
{Not that I have gotten anything with it yet, but it is a pleasure to carry and I like the look it has.}

As a Grandpa myself, I know he's proud.

Best of luck!
