Bruce and Shon's Elk Hunt

 The mornings started with a beautiful sunrise.

 The elk seemed to know what was up. They were very skittish. But not skittish enough to escape their determination to succeed.

 The second day, we found this bull hiding out in some very heavy cover.

 Bruce made a perfect shot with his .45-90 Sharps.

 This management bull will make a great European mount for his wall.

  The gun he used was hand made by his friend, Shon.

 Smiles are scarce, but well worth the effort.

 Shon took this big cow later in the afternoon.

 He also used a gun of his own making.

 Thankfully, this animal fell at the edge of the jungle making for an easier recovery.

These two are life long friends enjoying a hunting trip together.

 Ken was amazed at the craftsmanship in this rifle.

 If you look closely, you'll see that this is a LEFT handed Sharps made by Shon.

More amazing craftsmanship in Bruce's gun.

 Another of Shon's custom guns. A flintlock rifle.

 Not your ordinary firearm.

 Spring loaded patch box.

 They shot Ken's silhouette targets at 200 and 300 yds with these rifles. Hit them both multiple times. Amazing.

 This is Shon's left handed Sharps. All custom made in his Shop: Eychaner Gun Works.

Loaded with black powder, these guns shoot extremely well. One shot kills on both elk.

Shon uses walnut from Missouri that he harvests himself for these amazing works of gun art.
