2016 cow
« on: November 28, 2016, 12:34:46 PM »
I drew an early rifle cow tag (during modern deer) and filled my tag on day 4!  :tup: Had an opportunity day 1, but the cow took off just as I got her in the scope.  Day one was a bit of a goat rope, with another hunter accusing me of trespassing (to be fair, he didn't know I had permission from the land owner, as he'd only been dealing with her daughter and son in law), but after we got it squared away, the hunt continued! 

saw several bulls (the photo with 7 elk in it are all bulls. two on the far hillside were BIG!  :yike: like 350+!!) each day, but it wasn't until the 7 bulls slowly sauntered out of the field and the wind swirled that two cows beat feet across the field, stopping at 200 yards for a shot.  I was a little excited and jerked the trigger, hitting her mid-body in the spine, keeping up my tradition of shooting animals in the backstraps!  :bash:  :rolleyes:  another to the head ended her day.

I haven't hunted the E side in many years.  Love that hay field shot with the critters on the hill side.
Keep 'em Straight!!! (and quiet)
