We chased these a long way, and I got my shot only 200 yards from a road when we caught up with them. We didn't see the road until after the kill.

Nice cow, but you call that the high country?
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

This on top of the mountain range at about 8,200 feet.
My NV bull hunt took us over 10,000...but I got the bull at the base of the range in the flat.
It was awfully hot, and we had a full moon, so it was a matter of finding fresh sign and bird-dogging the heavy cover for each other.

Outstanding!
Any idea on how much she weighed?

Ed F&G estimated 575-600 lbs on the hoof and said he had never seen a bigger cow. I'm fortunate that she tastes good and isn't overly tough. I have her hanging for another week in a cold box, and that seems to make them a bit more tender, IMO.

I have her hanging for another week in a cold box, and that seems to make them a bit more tender, IMO. I shot one quite a few years ago that might have been heavier than that. It was the last elk I've ever taken to a processor. Skinned and quartered, on on the processors scale, she weighed 330.
