Your freezer has grown dreadfully empty.
The this year's cow tag is burning a hole in your pocket.
You just crept up over a hill in the woods and...
What have we here?
Looks like you shot the camera. Could you have spooked them and not gotten a shot at all? Just kidding.
I don't know the laws and regulations but are there calves in the picture or just that large of a difference in yardage. I know in some area deer and other animals aren't allowed to be taken if there are calves or fawns.
Is there any question whether or not the big dark cow in the middle (almost dead center of the photo) is the lead cow?
Probably her calf following right behind her?
Unfortunately you've already got those two or three cows looking right at you, so they'll all soon be on their way... far away.
Where I hunt elk, there is nothing against taking a calf.
Depending on the number of tags in the family and what my time restraints were, I'd bust one of those calves in back. If I to get a big cow though I'd wait until one gave me a safe shot. Elk stammer around a bit in a herd that big, especially if only one sees you. Those calves taste sooooo good too. Oh well, I've got a bull tag this year so I guess it doesn't matter!
Mighty nice setup there. If thats in the unit I am hunting this year, wait for one of the cows with a calf to mill around to where i get the shot for my general tag, then take the calf with my A9 tag October 26 isn't going to get here soon enough for me!
I'd take a fat cow, but she'd have to move a bit first. Ain't a cow shot in that pic I'd take, as currently arranged. Ain't ever been in to ruined meat, bad hits, or "2 for 1." . . . .
