I was going to post a couple of photos from my recent cow hunt. But photobucket won't work tonite. Just reporting that I put the sneak on a group of elk and picked out a fat cow at 135 yards. As an aside I have to say snow camo and crab crawling got me nice and close. Anyway, I nestled into the side of a sagebrush plant and line up for a double lung angle. At the shot, she dropped, slowly rolled over and slide down the hill until some brush caught her. No bullet recovery unfortunately and I slid her down the hill about 300 yards further to the awaiting truck. Shortest elk hunt at less than an hour. Makes up for the long hunts.
**I should also report that the magazine release on the Tikka T3x froze and I couldn't release the mag to remove the rounds. I am sure that happened in the "sneaking phase" of the stalk as the snow depth was well over a foot. So just be aware of that possibility. I removed the rounds with the bolt instead. **
