She's young. Her ivories were big and not worn a bit. There's a good chance that this was her 1st calf.
I found out something. Usually to remove ivories, I'd put my knife blade against them and tap it with a rock. They'd pop right out. I recently bought a replaceable blade knife with the razor sharp blades. I tried that on the ivories and it cut through them like soft butter. It just sliced them right off.

This cow season runs to Nov 30. It's a wintering area but the herds haven't appeared yet. When they do, there'll be elk all over the place. We saw a few but they could be locals that don't migrate out in the spring. Last year it was so warm that they didn't migrate until mid-December. We got into a small local herd that year, too, and got 2 cows. It's been a lot colder this year, about 20 when I got this one. Last year we got them on Nov 30 while wearing shirt sleeves.

Well done, and were you using a hold over ? What Scope also?

I have a 'high dollar' Leupold VX-1 ( no longer made) that I've had for many years. Sighted in at 200 yds. It has 2 dots below the x-hairs. With this gun, the top one is on at 300, the bottom at about 380. I apparently jerked it slightly and would have hit a bit high if the range hadn't been farther than I thought.
