Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Cow elk and the 243 Winchester

Found this one on a late rifle hunt in AZ...passed a bunch of bulls before finding this one.



Had an easy way to get 50-60 yards from it...so, edged on down. Was a bit thicker than it looked from across the draw, and bumped him out of his bed at about 50 yards. Slapped him just behind the rib cage as he was getting out of Dodge, bullet exited just in front of the off-side shoulder.

Over 20" fifth on the one side...gross scored 356 as is, at least 14-15 inches busted, so another in that 370 gross range.



Arizona's always treated me right fair...





Felt guilty about drawing 4 AZ rifle bull tags...so donated one to AZ hunt of a lifetime which went to a young lady with cancer.
