The first two days he hunted he seen four bulls but he had to pass on them. Then this morning at first light he seen this cow. The range finder said it was 187 yards out. He shot once and the cow stumbled forward and went down. She was still trying to lift her head when he walked up to her but one shot behind the ear took care of that.
Rifled used was a Browning A-bolt in .30-06 which I bought for his 12th birthday 31 years ago. Over the years he put a lot of meat on the table with this gun including moose, elk, whitetail and mule deer.
The shot was broadside just behind the front leg. Ammo was 180gr Winchester ballistic silvertip. Area was about one hour northwest of Calgary which is still about six hours south of me.
Here's a few cellphone pics.
