I bought a cow tag today on the first come first served license deal today, now to convince my wife to let me skip taking her to California to deal with her house fire insurance stuff and let me go hunting.

Nice !!!

What tire pressure you running on your Viking ?

Just picked up a (new one) sick and heading down your way tomorrow for a deer hunt in SE Oregon

Similar terrain , a bit rocky and don't want any flats

Always good to get one in the freezer this early. That looks like some hot and dry country.

300 yards uphill, or 300 yards down hill. It's not the distance, its the terrain. :-)

It was up hill, he'd already helped a guy haul one out in 1 trip about 1/2 of a mile side hill. He did a front and a hind plus the head that trip.

We had put a big bunch of elk to bed actually 2 groups and drove the half hour to get where we could make a stalk and there was a guy sitting in his SXS right where we needed to park. We chatted with him and he was hunting alone and had been there for 6 days and hadn't seen a cow yet. So we took him with us to kill a cow. Made the shots and got ready to go start packing and this guy didn't even have a pack and only one 10 inch knife like Rambo type knife. Son in law showed him the gutless method and helped him pack his out while I started skinning and quartering mine. we were able to get the SXS to within 300 yards from mine so it wasn't too bad.
