I've only killed one cow but I thought that cow tasted better than any other elk I've had. I'd take a cow any day.
Congrats John!

Cow elk # 2 this season. Lazed 350 yard shot from prone with a sporterized Mauser in 9,3x62 using a 2x7 leupold with LR Duplex. The 2nd dot which is usually "400 yards" is only 335 yards for my trajectory, so I held just a touch above mid point. 250 grain Barnes TSX at 2465 fps. 58.1 grains of Varget shoots .875" @ 100 yards. This was Monday morning in New Mexico. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/THuCFgch.jpg)

Congrats John! Thanks! However, one of the best-tasting elk we've taken was a 5-point bull I killed on the 5th of September in 1987, back then opening day of Montana's bow season. He hadn't even thought about going into the rut yet! But yep, in general cows tend to be tastier and tenderer than bulls.

Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.

SLM, I strongly disagree That is the pic of the Century so far Heck yeah. Strongly agree with that. Awesome picture! Six year old granddaughter Anna has hunted with us for three years now. I have four grandchildren and she is the fearless one. Scared of not one thing. She’s been begging us to shoot one for a good while now. Son got a crossbow and she showed us she could shoot it well! She got her chance three weeks ago and made the most of it. She dead centered his oil pump and big brother Hutson insisted on blood trailing it for her, taking her step by step and explaining things as he went along. It was too cute. She refused to wash off the blood until that night in the bathtub. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/s2XFKSy1/IMG-1158.jpg)
