I had one remaining big-game tag for 2009, a type 6 cow permit, and a friend of mine had the same tag. So, we took off to try for a late cow north of town.
We left early Monday morning and it was a -17 when we left, and dropped to -21 when we got to our spot. We found several herds of elk, but they were on private land. Later in the day we were glassing some public when a landowner pulled up and asked if we were hunting coyotes or elk. We said elk, and the guy I was with knew the rancher. He asked if we wanted to go look around his place for an elk. We said sure, and followed him to his place.
Right away we found a herd, warming up in the sun. We decided to keep looking and after an hour or so of driving around we found a herd very near the road. My buddy and I each shot a cow from the herd. It was a 300 yard downhill pack to the truck, which was just enough to keep the chill off.
It was cold enough my camera quit working so the only picture I have is one I took with the cell phone.
