I hunted for 4 days and finally got a chance at a cow. My hunt was for cows only with a muzzleloader. I saw her up on a ridge and went after her. I got to the top and saw her way out in the open hardly any brush between us. I also forgot my call. So I put my hands on the side of my head like they were ears and twitched them. Then I hid behind the brush. As she walked out from behind the brush I let her have it at 60 yards. The bullet crushed the shoulder and was later found in the flank. The cow ran only 50 yards and piled up. Man these paper patched bullets lay down the law. Ron

Congrats, and thank you very much for the trick with the hands. Never have hunted elk, but hope to someday.
 
Thanks again for a great post! Looks like you and yours will be eating good this winter!
