Just back from late season antlerless elk hunt. Lots of snow this girl laying in just over two feet. Rifle Sako M995 in 7mm STW. Not a long shot. looking at the exit wound 160 gr Nosler partition 3300fps. Lots of fun. So glad to have mys cousin there with quad on tracks worked well to bring her out. Sure breaks up the winter doldrums.

Congrats on the nice cow! Hunting in 2 feet of snow sounds like extra work. Is it fair to assume you use snow shoes to get around?
I did use snow shoes the other day. Snow shoes good on the open but in scrub bush etc. can be nasty. Great to get to an area if your going to be waiting on animals. I have two sets prefer the new style aluminum frame ones to a set of originals with bears paw style and leather bindings. I find the newer model easier to get on and off.
