Just got back from our annual elk hunt.The first three days were non stop heavy rain and snow followed by two days of wind in excess of 50mph.Very little game was seen.On the second last day I finally found a herd of five cows and cancelled my cow tag.This makes 6 elk with the 180gr ballistic tip out of my 300ultramag.The cow dropped instantly from a lungshot and meat damage was minimal.Next year I will be hunting bulls again which is far more challenging.My hunting partners killed four deer but were not successful on elk.
