The elk showed back with the snow Thursday. Tried to keep it quiet around the neighborhood, but word got out. I ran into a family I knew who was trying to get their dad onto a cow, so we went together and each wacked one Friday night. Let him shoot first at about 320 yards. He tanked her good, 2nd shot tipped her over.

The herd really started moving quicker than I thought, they surprised me. Then they settled down so my first shot was 492 on a boss cow and I rang her bell. She was pretty sick, but kept moving...slowly. I was losing daylight, but I didn't want to spook the elk out (up over the ridge towards the refuge), as we have more peeps coming tomorrow (today). So I sent another one at 586 and that did the job. Got done about 11pm. One big azz biatch! Weighed one bullet, 122gr that started life at 140gr's. Those Accubond's have always killed.
