Title: Blackrock cow tag success
Post by: Gringo31 on August 19, 2017, 12:05:40 PM: Happy to share after some posts on prior years of this tag seemed touch and go. My step daughter drew this tag and made contact with the manager. He called yesterday morning and we met up. After a stalk, we closed the gap, and they started working towards us. At 250 yards, the 7mm Rem Mag barked and she hit perfectly her first cow. It's went as smooth and perfect as it could have, can't say enough about how well it went top to bottom. Great guys!

From the time she shot, we had her hanging in a cooler in 4 hours. Good luck this season!

Thanks for sharing.

(Is she really as dark as she looks in that photo? I've never seen such a dark colored cow).

Is the hide in good enough condition to have tanned? Very different color, would make a cool trophy for her if so.

It would be cool to get tanned if it worked.

That's a really unique cow she got. :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:
