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...

Nice job, my 10 year old daughter has that tag, we are heading down this weekend to find the 4 smaller ones you didn't shoot. :chuckle: Way to go and good job getting the family involved.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

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?
