Title: 2014 cows
Post by: D-Rock425 on September 12, 2014, 10:56:33 AM: Haven't seen a 2014 cow post yet so I'll start it off. Shot this one last Thursday 25 yards from my tree stand.

Post by: tonymiller7 on September 15, 2014, 10:45:34 AM: Stuck her at 645 pm on 9/5 from my treestand. Quartering away shot with a total pass through the opposite side shoulder. I was amazed when she ran 100+ yards but the bloodtrail was easy to follow. Spent the entire next day packing meat but it was well worth it.

Post by: X-Force on September 15, 2014, 11:28:59 AM: Colockum cow. 13 yards after 3 1/2 hr stalk on the herd she was with, she went 40 yards and piled up.

Post by: OUT4DUX on September 15, 2014, 11:30:31 AM: Thanks, it felt great from the release and stayed true all the way there. 45yrds shot and she expired within 20-30 seconds. This is my second elk and it is amazing how quick they go down when shot placement is on target. See "No Bull Here" post for specifics. Ate the first lb of sausage on Sunday, and it was fantastic. Steaks tonight!!!

Post by: rover758 on September 15, 2014, 12:39:24 PM: I hate ALL of you!!! :drool: Just kidding. Congrats to all. It's either late archery (352 or 346) or elk tag stew for me. The only shootable elk that presented itself for me was a 5x5 broadside at 30 yards looking the other way. (Nile - spike/cow only :bash: :bash: :bash:)

Title: Re: 2014 cows
Post by: sneakyjake on September 23, 2014, 12:55:13 AM: I would post my dead cow, but some idiot thought it would be good to slip the arrow in behind the last rib and ended up with a single lung hit and a 5 hour trail job above the tree line (steep). *censored* is going to study diagrams next year and do better. Found her the following week. Guess my season is over. Is there no amount of prep that can be overlooked in this sport? Not a good spot. Even quartering away.
