Finally found out what it's like to harvest an animal on opening day. Unlike last years shot by a road this year I was .60 miles from the truck through a lot of dead fall, so retrieval took awhile. I used a Rugerm77 MKII in 30.06 from around 100 yards.

Nice cow, congrats on the good eats

Thanks. Just got done processing the meat and I have 148lbs. of meat from her.
Nice! Good job. Wish me luck for next month.
