Dad and I got two cows this morning only got two shots of this one nut deep in snow 600Ft out in a field. One shot each in the side of the head at around 200 yards. Good thing we were packing the anchor ropes to our boats. That makes 5 elk I shot this year with my 243 Winchester feather light 80Gr GMX. This was finally my tag on one all the others were for my partners. Think there still hoping I will rub off on them. Back to the fire place until tomorrow going to wack another one.




Sorry for the poor photos get the beer and smoker going

Pretty solid work with a 243!!!

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.

I heard lots of good things about the SST's but from what I seen the 3-4 years I'm DONE with all other bullets.

Gibson's and Ginger ready for when the guns are done there work.

Yea Baby, good after the shot cocktail brother. Enjoy that meat. I have not had it since my Elk with a bow 12 years ago. I miss it big time.
