The wife and our oldest son had spent the past week and a half on the bow hunt near Strawberry, they both had buck tags as well as spike/cow tags. the wife took a forked horn buck the first evening, our son followed up that Monday with one. I went down last Friday afternoon to join them for the weekend and our son took a cow that evening. I came back Sunday with a boned out cow, and our sons boned out frozen buck. Both bucks have been cut up, wrapped and in our freezer. His cow is boned out and in our fridge in the garage waiting for me to cut up this weekend. The wife texts me at 7:45 last evening and said she had just killed a cow from a ground blind she had been sitting in for 8 evenings. I'm sure glad we have some great friends living in that area that were able to help her and our son get it out. Actually the wife had her cow about gutted by the time our son arrived to help mom and shortly after our friends arrived to help load the animal.The elk hung and cooled overnight and this one was taken to the butcher near Arcadia this morning for processing. We usually process our own but with one at home to cut up I was running out of storage space. She said the cow was with a herd of about 20 and one raghorn 5X5, no spikes. They had a great hunt, had to save my vacation for my upcoming muzzy bull hunt next month so I was only able to spend the weekends with them.
