Winston Cow Jan 1st ....
« on: January 03, 2013, 05:48:51 AM »
Been waiting for this hunt all year, I have been a bowhunter for 18 years so when I drew the multi  tag this year I applied for this hunt. MY first  Rifle Elk.  passed on 2 small branch bulls durring the regular season so I could continue to hunt and was able to take this cow at 1:00 new years day with my son, dad and friend with me.... she had 5 other cows with her and she was the biggest of the bunch... 300lb hanging on the meat scale....

Yeah the shop is nice but not mine, decided to hang her whole at my buddies instead of cutting her in 1/2 and hanging her in my meat locker...

Pack out was pretty darn easy also.. she ended up about 70 yards uphill from a road , I backed my truck into the ditch so my tailgate was touching and she slid right into the bed, never thought in it could be that easy.. I shot her at 1:40 and was driving away at 2:40... I saw lots of people up there and wondered if I passed any members from here?

I am sure the snow made the drag easier but those clearcuts can be a tangled mess to get through on foot let alone dragging a full sized healthy cow, great job and lucky you for only having to go 70 yards down.

No hoof rot on her but 1 of the cow's she had with her had a little limp. I got lucky where she fell as she was on a pretty good trail that led to the road so didnt have all the junk to drag her accross, I still cant believe it was that easy to get her out (never usually works out that way for us)... must of missed the trashing thing?  anyone notice she pretty much has zero fat on her?

Nice cow!  Even with the downhill slope it seems amazing you got her in the truck whole.  We got one uphill like that this year, and it never even occurred to us to drag her out whole.  We just got to work quartering and gutting.
