Colorado Cow Moose Hunt ‘24

[cnelk]

After I got all the meat, hide and head (yes head - have to submit it for registration) to the truck, I headed to the local town to get the meat to the meat locker for cooling down.

With the high temps, there was no way I could get it cooled down in time.

Once I dropped off the meat, I went to the small city park and fleshed and salted the hide.

After that I went to the local community center and took a shower for $5. It had been a week!

Then I went back to camp and had a whiskey. Maybe 2.

Yesterday I broke down camp and went back to the local town and picked up the meat, registered the moose at the CPW office where they took an incisor tooth and a tissue sample for DNA.

The I drove 2 hours home and took the quarters to my processor.

The 4 quarters weighed 180lbs. I weighed the loose meat here at home and that was 30lbs.
Similar size to my 5pt bull elk I killed earlier this year.

She wasn’t a super big cow. I’ll get the tooth data in a couple months. I’m guessing she was probably 3 years old.

Thank for reading.

Next up is my Wyoming Buck tag - Nov1
