Finally - 1 less moose in 49 DN
« on: November 25, 2009, 09:39:41 AM »
Have never worked so hard to help someone fill their cow tag in my life.  Three trips later, my daughter finally got a crack at this cow and made it count. 

We were plowing snow to get up to where we wanted to hunt and shortly after daylight yesterday my 11 year old daughter spots this cow bedded out ahead of us.

The snow was so deep we had a tough time getting her set up for a shot and it was pushing her comfort zone on distance, but at 225 yards with a rest, the .270 WSM did it's job well.

Thanks to everybody for their suggestions and encouragement.  We ended up getting her back in the original spot we started her hunt, but did check out most of the areas many of you suggested as well.  We just couldn't buy a break until yesterday I guess.

Thanks again...

Enjoy!

I think cow moose are a lot harder to hunt than bulls.   GOOD FOR HER!

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
