Cow elk tag filled

It took 21 years to draw a western Washington cow elk tag took a few days passed a couple trying to shoot a bull then finally got a good shot at a large cow shot her with my 257 weatherby

Good for you! Wow, with a .257 Weatherby? What grain bullet/type? Shot distance? I have one and would be tentative about pursuing elk with it unless I was close. Want to hear about the knock down. Congrats!

100 grain barnes triple shock little over 200 yards didn't go anywhere but down this is the fourth elk with it longest shot was 412 in Montana on a 5pt bull dropped him in his tracks dont hesitate to use it for elk!!
 
Nice! Antlers sure are nice but I bet you can’t tell if this is a bull or a cow. Congratulations!

Congrats! 21 years to draw a cow tag? What is the reason for the limited availability?
 
Congrats on filling the tag and the freezer!! Sad it takes 21 years to draw an antlerless tag, I’m a “Wetsider”, and can tell you if I pull some of the tags I’ve been applying for, I’ll be done with it. Takes, much too long!! Again, Congrats!!
