smallfry Campfire Regular S Joined: Mar 2015 Posts: 2,144 Likes: 1 Idaho	Originally Posted by Mule Deer Took this one a week ago during Montana's mid-December "shoulder season," where you can use a general tag on antlerless elk on private land: Thought it was an average-sized cow, but turned out to be the biggest I've taken, though not quite as big as the "trophy cow" my wife Eileen got a few years ago. The weather turned out to be perfect for aging the meat in our garage, in the 20s at night and low 40s during the day, and we started butchering today. Very tender and good flavor--much better tasting than the "trophy" antlers from past hunts hanging on the walls of the garage! MD, did you shoot that one with your 6.5 PRC? What are the particulars of what you used? S.

Heartbreakers too often. On a rifle hunt this year a couple of us were laid down one morning watching for elk to move up from lower meadows. Not all the zero scent gear on but pretty clean hunters. We saw two rag horns coming together from a mile or so away. They cut that distance down but we’re way out of good rifle range when a very soft breeze hit the back of my neck. Seconds later those bulls bolted a 180 and gone. Hats off to you guys that go for them with bows, they have noses that are incredible.

I assume you are friends with the land owner??

Internet analysis: 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact Fools & fanatics are always so certain and wise people are always so questioning
