[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1535934, member: 86754"] Three cows for me, never had a legal bull in front of me when I had a bull tag! Several "huge, 340+" around me when cow hunting late season, ha. Was with guys on 2 more cows and one big spike. I shot my first cow, running at 135 steps, 30-06/180 Hornady Light Mags. My 2nd was with a .375 H&H/300 Sierra @ 200, and last one was right at 250yds with 338WM/185 Barnes XLC. My SIL lost a cow in archery ( hit too high, above the lungs/under spine.) and a friend just clipped another cow low leg. I had a 300 RUM/200AB made up for my Marine SILs return from his 2nd tour/Iraq, 2004. He put a Husqemaw (sp?) on it, 5.5x20I think.He took a big cow a tad over 440yds. One shot, tight behind the shoulder, all the way through with big chunks of tissue in the snow. I plan on just borrowing it if I draw out a late season cow where I can shoot a ways. I have a friend who uses a .308/150 corlokts on everything and another who uses a Mod 700 .270/ Federal 150 Fusions. Myself, I like to thump them hard, ha. I then shoot "all the wiggle" out of them. :) [/QUOTE]
