Cow elk this morning

[Hespco]

This morning early. 264 mag 121 gr Hammer. Complete pass thru both shoulders. Also hit ribs on both sides going in & out. Minimum amount of blood shot meat. Don't like making a shoulder shot but trees & oak brush obscured the elk as they moved in & out. Because of brush I had to make a off hand shot. One shot ..

O ya long range, about 80 yds. Large mature older dry cow. About as big as they come

How did you determine dry cow....its fall...shouldnt be lactating....

 

[Hespco]

In a way it's a land owner tag. My land. Take elk every tear. Also for sale. Dry cow because had no calf. Have seen many cows still lactating this time of year.

Is this the land that you are trying to sell? If so, good advertisement right there!
