[QUOTE="waspocrew, post: 1791061, member: 78732"] Flew in to Wyoming to meet my family for our Christmas get together on last Saturday afternoon. The antlerless elk season ended in a few hours, so my brother and I thought we'd sneak out to try to fill our tags. After zipping up a trail to a good vantage point, I spotted a 6 cows skylined about a mile away. We then went over to the trail we figured would at least get us close to them. We hiked through the juniper for about 5-10 minutes and caught a few cows heading up and over the ridge ahead of us. 10 minutes later, we were staring at a group of ten cows 200 yards away. My brother shot first and it was obvious the 6.5 PRC did the job. She was down in seconds. I was up next with the 45-70... since I knew we had a good sized cow down already, I opted to take a calf. One shot later and it was down. We quartered them both and had them out of there in two trips. Definitely a great way to end the season! Cooked up the backstraps for my in-laws and they absolutely loved them. Can't wait for next season to roll around! [ATTACH=full]165487[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165486[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
