Went out to chase a cow tag this morning. About hour and a half into my two hour drive, while wearing crocs, realized I forgot my boots. Idiot.
Said screw it, got to my spot, hiked about a mile out to a glasing knob at first light, 5 min into glassing saw this cow working up the draw. Ran over to a vantage, ranged 410, layed my rifle over my pack, dialed 1.8 mil, stopped her with a loud unrealistic mew, and squeezed off a round.
6mm creed with 6x super chicken, recoil was nil, watched her twitch a bit at Impact, ran 20 yards and tipped over.
Impact was slight quartered to, a bit high, maybe she walked a bit closer after i ranged. More likely I pulled it.
108 eldm impact velocity ~2300
