AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted October 14, 2022 She did it again. After very little activity we finally found a shootable cow on day 3. Was on a NASTY road(swore before that I would NEVER drive that road again) I found a nice cow bedded at 490 across the canyon. We watched her for about an hour waiting for her to move to a better position as she was partially blocked. Finally WE moved and had a good opening. Just as we were resituating for the shot the elk chose to get up and start meandering. So began the clown car circus of scrambling to get everything set up. She held 1 moa for a little wind from right to left and let it fly. Cow took a few steps forward behind a tree and disappeared. We watched for awhile and she never came out but my brother said he saw some bushes shaking. So the niece and I got packed up and headed down. My brother has recent surgery and can't walk well so it was just the two of us. Perfect double lung shot. Pretty much DRT. That's her 2nd 500 yd DRT shot in 2 hunts. after a SEVEN HOUR marathon packout our day was done. And so were we. I couldn't even drive back to the cabin I was so tired. We are so proud of her for toughing it out. What an amazing accomplishment. and she never complained once. I am STILL complaining. I hate manzanita.... The ride home.... 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
