Been awhile since we've dropped an elk around here.....

Wife headed out Thursday am for first morning of three day cow season, she wasn't out the front door 45 seconds and "boom!"..shocked the puddin' out of me, seemed odd but wife is very careful with her Kimber Montana .308 'on safe' and overall gun etiquette.

So...about fifty yards from the shop on the trail to the back tree stand was a great mature cow elk and my wife beaming ear to ear. Gotta love some acreage and ranch life!

Really great! That looks like a pretty darn big cow! Congrats to your wife.

Congrats to the wife and you. She's either vertically challenged and/or that's a damn big cow. Winner winner of many elk dinner. Fine pics too. What load? MB
Posted By: broomd Re: First elk for wife... - 10/18/20
She's 5'2''....but yeah, that cow is a chunk; mature elk are big critters!
I walked up on it and smiled.

She must be living right! Congrats on a wife who will hunt, a dandy elk and a close recovery!
Posted By: RedRabbit Re: First elk for wife... - 10/19/20
Is this a record for shortest elk hunt? The best may be the two-track right next to the elk though-no pack frames needed.
Posted By: Springcove Re: First elk for wife... - 10/19/20
That’s outstanding. Congratulations to your wife.
Excellent!!

Very well done, congrats!

It will be a winter of great eating for the Mrs. Broomd family

A wife that hunts, carrying a 308 whacks a cow Elk at will & grins.....what's not to love about that!?

Did she choose that gun or did you simply let her pick from your pile?

Well, I'm a southpaw, so that Kimber is all hers. I don't shoot a brake either, she likes the reduced recoil.

I bought it here on the fire about 8 years ago. Been a great gun for her.

Either your wife is a midget, or that is one big cow elk - I'm thinking the latter.

Good on her . . .

Sorry you lost some "puddin'" during the event" (does that mean new bedsheets are in order? grin)

That’s the gravy train with biscuit wheels there. Can’t think of a nicer way to cut up and elk.

Now there's a lady who knows how to get the work done, efficiently and effective.
That first pic is a winner. Congrats to her !

Wow! Congrats. Looks like she put a great shot on the cow as well. Very cool. Great hunt!
Nothing better than a fat cow! Great job! Close to the shop, that's how you do it!

Why walk so far? Couldn't get the window open? :-)

Great hunt, great place to live. All the Missouri elk were killed during the civil war.
