Wyoming cow today

[BuzzH]

Heres how an elk hunting post is supposed to work. No, I was too tired, I had to go to church, I was driving.

Woke up at 4 drove to my spot. Found a herd of 100ish, lots of bulls mixed in. The wind was horseshit again, but only 25-30 mph.

Got to 310 yards before the elk started to drift to private, too far in a crosswind.

Let them drift behind a hill, hustled up and found all but about 20 had crossed into private. Only one was standing by itself out of the group of 20, unfortunately a collared one.

Boom...dead, 62 yards with my 7RM and 160 accubonds. Died about 3 feet from the fence. Quartered it, walked back to the truck got the game cart, loaded and headed home by 1:30.

The end.

Lord have mercy the shade everyone is throwing these days. Might as well be Hunttalk High.

Congrats on the elk Buzz.

Ok

 

[mevertsen]

7RM?

I seriously thought you only used the -08.

Good job. About how close my pronghorn died to a fence as well this year.

 

[Addicting]

Congrats! Does this one make 100?

 

[TransplantHunter]

Congratulations!

I wish I could have been so lucky. That cow will be good eating for sure.

Btw, I love seeing the dope on the rifle. Nice job!

I wonder how much it cost to put the collar on that cow?

Apparently its for a deer study, if that makes sense.

Plus, we give out a ton of commission tags, take one tag from a library, predator board, wyoga, or a music festival, can collar a bunch more.

Congrats. Do you know how long she has been collared for?

 

[Maverick1]

Looking a little plump. Good job on the elk, congratulations. Should be good eating!

 

[brymoore]

It’s a nun!

Didn't say when I took the collar in today. Hard to know, they've been collaring elk in that unit for a long time. I don't think its really to know what those elk do for any reason other than to kill more of them. They aren't migratory.

I took the 2 incisors in for aging, I'm guessing 10-12+, ivories were flat.

 

[deer_shooter]

You sure have elk figured out. Congrats man.

 

[Dave N]

Congrats! Need another freezer yet?

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Buzz, you gave me some guidance on an elk hunt 13 years ago. On that hunt I had a group of 4 elk come by and stop 8' from where I was hunkered down. One of those was collared. Warden Olson later told me those elk over there were collared to study how the beetle kill affected their movements.

Makes sense, I would say the elk avoid it no different than people. Also, the Warden you talked to just retired this year.
