Young Hunter Takes 300-Class Bull Elk with a Muzzleloader in New Mexico
Young Hunter Takes 300-Class Bull Elk with a Muzzleloader in New Mexico
With his Big Brother Rich Ridder (from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program) by his side, fifteen-year old Kansas native Loren Wiseman unloaded his muzzleloader on a 300 class New Mexico bull elk on October 12, 2009, during the state’s annual youth hunting season. Though Loren hunted ducks and pheasants before, this was his first elk hunt, and after missing a large bull the day before, he was excited another opportunity presented itself.

Congratulations, Rich and Loren! What a great story, and a great accomplishment!
The Pass It On--Outdoor Mentors program these guys are a part of is a great story in itself, and its the future of hunting. We all need to support it.
What an amazing program. great story and congrats on an amazing hunt. i wish we had a program like this in idaho, i dont have money to donate but i would love to help out
Great story and thanks for sharing. This sounds like an amazing program
That is what hunting is all about. I can remember what it felt like to shoot my first buck and to have my dad there to help me with it. amazing story
First big game hunt...big bull elk...in the timber...off hand...with a muzzleloader! This kid isn't messing around! Wow. Be jealous. He just outdid probably 95% of all the elk hunters this year. What a story.
It's an outstanding program that is definitely worth supporting. Shaman Camouflage donated gear to Loren and Rich, and we were honored to be a part of this success story. We'll participate again if the opportunity presents itself. Mike Christensen has done a great job growing the mentorship program into what it is today and we hope to see many more successes like this in the future.
great story and great elk keep hunting man and congrats cause that is very cool
That is a really great story and i applaud the hunter for his patience, perserverance, and calmness. I also applaud the outfitter for the oppurtunities he is giving kids. Congrats to both of those guys. It just shows what a little donation of time can bring to a kid.
shane I know he did better than me this year! i am jealous
Having grown up in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, I really wish there was such a program when I was a child. What an experience not only for the young hunter, but for his big brother and the program itself. If we as hunters don't bring in those who would not normally get a chance to experience the outdoors, we'll lose their support later down the line.
Great Job!
Congratulations to you both.
