375/400 lbs Hanging

[Dan Morris]

Went down to the ranch Sat morning. After breakfast, we rode for about 5 minutes...had several cows on my side. I bailed out , picked the one I wanted and popped it. Couldn't really call it hunting..about 50 yds.....old thrill just wasn't there....got about 375/400 lbs skinned and hanging in the garage. Gonna let it hang 4-5 days then cut n wrap.

Waidmannsheil Dan. Enjoy the steaks, some are easy - some are hard, sounds like you just took advantage of what was offered! For your next one, you have to start somewhere East of Denver and walk, crawl, scratch and climb your way up to let's say oh, make it 10,000 feet asl :D Dom.

LOL, Dom, by the time I get legs and all bone off this, I'm probably gonna (hopefully)
get about 250 lbs of boned wrapped......my 375 est may have been a lil high...big cow, heavy bone structure!
To make it a really lazy trip....while I gutted.....Billy went back to house and brought up a front loader to bring it out! We were about 7K ASL.....temp was 12 degrees...n snowin...
