Most everyone goes down there looking for a blue bull, but somes want & need cows taken. I can remember us shooting 16-20 over five days at the KR many years ago. That was some sort of a special deal where these guys came and helped with cows year after year. I remember driving home with 8 cows hoofs up in my trailer. Gots lot of looks, with some being nasty ones. In some peoples minds, I was number one. Oh well. We ate well, very well, all year.

Going for cows is best done if you can team up with someone or someones on a bull hunt. That's the plan with my next one. Don't need no bull, but have several buds who have never done this before and are wanting me to set this up. This will happen. Likely to start on it.

Hunting blue bulls and cows on the Wild Horse Desert is a special experience. Dones it a bunch, but not for several years now. Needs to get back to it.

Years ago I was touring a pasture for possibly leasing on KR. The ranch foreman pointed out a group of guys in a high rack truck leaving camp. He called them the “Nilgai Specialists”. Hud may have been on that truck!
