Nim - Yes, I saw ABM's Cow - he send a pic attached to an email. That's a BIG girl! The year we lived in Anchorage, we had one big-assed cow that size in our neighborhood over by Lake Hood- pretty spooky when you accidentally walked up close to her in the dark when out getting some exercise! ABM will have lots of good eating there.

Sorry to hear that things didn't turn out well for you on your trips since early Oct. Are you done hunting for the rest of the year, or do you have something else planned before New Years?

I'm beginning to to do my "turkey expedition" planning for this coming Spring. (Always scheming.) I know I'll spend some time trying to fill tags in Oregon, but I may also try either Washington or Idaho. Between non-resident licenses and turkey tags, it begins to add up in a hurry!
