Do they normally walk out into the open like that? You'll have to forgive me as I havent ever hunted up north. Hell I aint even seen snow but twice!!
Them new Hornady GMX or Barns XXX are the bullet to shot critters with. IF you recover a bullet it is 95-99% in tact. (I have used a few!). Any way yes they stay out in the open as log as possible this time of year. especially with all of this snow they burn to much energy going back and forth from food to bedding. Most of the time we shot them beside a bail sleeping or just looking at you. Here is a small heard of cows there was a 6x6 bull with this bunch but didn't get him in the photo from the F-150 blind. That day me and the boy seen at least 400 head of them out in the fields feeding. The biggest heard has around 100 head I seen so far.
