 :chuckle: :chuckle:Thanks for the ideas and good wishes!    We are going to keep at it and I'm sure we will find one.  I'm just hoping we find one he can take with his bow, but I have a 30-06 just in case. 
I can say that I have learned that these hills r tough!!  I've hunted HARD before, but this hill is pretty tough day after day.... Thanks so much for all of the advice.!  We will report back soon!

Brian, are you going in the area I showed you to the large glassing area?  How are the bikes working?  Stay with it, you'll get one!  Also.. remember, you have until the end of Nov, so no worries!
Nothing witty here.... move along.

I was seeing an average of 20 moose a day on the Mica side, so I know they are there.  Just a matter of time and he'll have his hands around a big ole heart.

Hey Guys and Gals,

yes, it is true. I did get a monster Cow. We saw nothing for the first 3 days accept alot of sore muscles! That Starr Rd hill is never ending!. Then we saw a cow and a calf that I got out after and stalked up to 50 yards. I told myself if I got within 40 I would shoot for the heart with my bow but the calf was behind her and the cliff was next to her that I knew they would surely go down so I passed.

Then a few minutes later we saw a huge cow bedded about 120 yards away and she was looking at us. She was enormous so I decided to grab the rifle. I knelt down and took the first shot. I think I missed her. Then she started moving and I took my second shot. she slowed but did not look hit hard. I shot a third time and she flipped over and her hooves went straight up in the air! We walked down to her and ..........Holy Shnikeys! That is a clydesdale! I shot her at 7:30am and we got her back to camp at about 2:30pm. We then saw 3 monster bulls on the way back to the bottom.
