1st Elk Winston Unit Cow
« on: October 17, 2009, 03:53:48 PM »
Hello all, new to the site (long time reader finally joined) wanted to share my 1st Muzzleloader elk. After years of modern with no luck switched to muzzle loader. I drew a winston unit cow tag and got this cow 1st morning out 1 hour into it. My brother ranged her at 100 yards when she started to walk away had to keep calling her with a hoochie mama to get her to stop and turn broad side finally had a 120 yard shot with my Knight Bighorn 100 grains triple7 and powerbelt 348 grain aerotip. Finally got some elk meat in the freezer.

Congratulations any elk is a good elk. :tup:
It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need one and not have it.                                                                             Local 66 sheetmetal workers

That's a beautiful animal!  After I shot a couple of bulls and 'got it out of my system', the elusive herd cow is my meat of choice these days.

congratulations, now throw that hoochie momma away the muzzy season is to good not to learn how to call  :twocents:
No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.
