In brief
Austin Streifel drew unit E3, took one shot with a 7mm PRC, and walked out with an elk worth talking about. A 394 green score in North Dakota's unit E3 is the kind of bull most hunters wait a lifetime of lottery draws to see. Originally reported by Valleynewslive.
A bull down in E3
A Fargo hunter harvested a bull elk in unit E3 in Billings County, North Dakota, according to ND Big Game Showcase.
Meet Austin Streifel
The hunter is Austin Streifel, 27, of Fargo. He made the shot on Friday in the western North Dakota unit.
One rifle, one Friday
Streifel used a Seekins 7mm PRC, a flat-shooting cartridge built for long shots across open country.
Green score: 394
Streifel said the elk's green score came in at 394. Green means measured fresh, before the required drying period that sets an official number.
“He said the elk's green score was 394.”
His dad was there
The Facebook post says the hunt was shared with friends and his father, which is the part hunters tend to remember longest.
“The hunt was an experience shared with friends and his father.”
The photos that followed
Images from the post show Streifel holding the elk by its antlers, posing with the group, and the animal on its own.
