The September day was rapidly fading as 12-year-old Kaci Bulkley settled in for a shot at her first elk, a huge bull, 600 yards away.
She couldn’t quite get her custom-built 7mm Remington magnum rifle steady enough, so her dad, Hazer Bulkley, offered some help.
“I wasn’t feeling too steady. So my dad took off his shoe, and put it under the gunstock” Kaci told Cowboy State Daily.
That provided the solid rest she needed, so she pulled the trigger and landed a lethally solid hit.
“He (the bull) took about 10 seconds to go down. He went about five yards and fell over,” Kaci said.
The bull’s antler rack scored in the 320-inch range, not bad at all for a first elk. Kaci has also bagged coyotes, antelope and a mule deer buck that scored 184 inches.
Though her hunting career is just getting started, Kaci is already selective about the game she’ll take.

Sweet!
She not only plays hopscotch. “She can shoot too.” Ala Jason Robards. 👍 nice shooting young lady.
Nice! A little girl after my great grandfather heart!
That’s no hunter.
That’s a sniper.
I wonder what the B & C rating is on that rack.
Yeah and some loin meat fried with biscuits , eggs and hash browns n gravey. That’s living up on a mountain in the Rockies. God love her and her family. Regards.
A guy I know became one of MSP’s most celebrated snipers.
What was his “ training”?
Squirrels.
/the hillbilly way
NOT OLD ENOUGH YET—————:)
Well, there IS good news today!
Green score ~320? Not impressive for a Wyoming Rocky Mountain bull, as far as B&C goes. There was a Roosevelt around that size, antler-inch-wise, taken pretty close to the house, with a bow.
Great shot.
Figured it’d be a larger caliber. might have to look into a 7mm now
Ok. Did a quick read on the 7mm. Makes sense now. .338 would be a hard kick for a young person.
Great shot.
Custom 7mm Mag is an incredible rifle too.
320
150 gr, 7 mag isn’t bad. 170 kicks a bit. 20 rounds and you will have a sore shoulder.
