A short season it was. At first light this morning I launched a 180 grain Hornady SST through a nice cow at 265 yards. It was a double lung exit with a great blood trail.



I think anyone could have followed this blood trail, about 75 yards long.

congrats.

Congrats. You gotta love the snow for that!

Congrats, very nice I'm going up tomorrow to unit 18 leftover cow tag. I can only hope there is snow up there.

Congrats!

Congrats on the cow!

Whereabouts?

Congrats on some good eats!

Grand Mesa slopes, western Colorado

gotta love the snow congrats on the elk Ron

I drew a second choice either sex tag for unit3/301. It's not an area that I have hunted for elk, and since there wasn't snow I was pretty worried about how it would turn out. Last Friday and Saturday The Grand Mesa had a pretty good storm, up to 22 inches in places. It pushed elk down into an area that I was familiar with and live next to. So, I went down to the DOW office and exchanged my 3/301 tag for a unit 41 tag since there were leftover cow tags. It saved me a bunch of gas I was able to tag a nice cow.

Well that was fast

Loves me some blood trailing in the snow! Nice cow.

Looks like some good eating right there. Great pic too.
