375/400 lbs Hanging

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 Dom.
