Went out yesterday to snoop around to see what was going on with the elk.
Got a bunch of good video yesterday, and after watching elk behavior for half a day, and passing multiple easy opportunities, located a herd of 60-70 with some likely looking candidates for the freezer.
Stalked to 150 yards, watched them for a while and picked out a cow quite a ways from the main herd, figuring it had no calf.
Cycled a round into the 7-08, placed the leupold dot on the lower 1/3 of the body and sent a 140 AB on its way. As per always, bullet entered about dead center, cow went 30 yards and that was that.
The herd had no idea what was going on, just milled around and slowly made their way out of the area. Had another tag, but no reason to fill 2 this early in the season.
While packing the 3rd quarter to the truck, had a "visitor" in the shade when I arrived. He was pretty boisterous and loud about his presence, so all was good. He was also gone when I got the last quarter to the truck.
