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.
