if its brown is it down this fall?

[Bonedalien]

how many of you archery guys will pass on a cow in your sight ring this fall on opening day,that you would shoot on closing day?

 

[HardcoreHunter]

Me, and this is my first time elk hunting.

 

[Mtnboy]

Not me, at the end of the day the wife wants a full freezer!

Call me crazy, but I'd rather spend the time Mule Deer hunting anyway...got 9 days planned in Wyoming helping my dad fill a tag he burned 6 points on (assuming he draws) so I'm taking any elk I can get with my bow!

 

[Curtis C]

NOT ME! The area I hunt allows an additional antlerless elk tag which solves this dilemma for me.

 

[MesaHorseCo.]

Not me. I never let a good set of backstraps go.

 

[Jason Snyder]

I won't be passing up any cows.

 

[Evan Williams]

Me. Should have a LE tag

 

[Trr15]

I'll hold out for a bull in archery season. If I don't fill my tag, it's game on for cows come the first day of rifle season. My primary concern is filling the freezer. Antlers are definitely a plus, but if the clock is ticking I'm taking what I can get.

 

[Jon Boy]

I won't shoot a cow with my general tag. I can buy an extra tag for cows in one of the units I hunt and may do that if I can secure access to private land. I wouldn't kill a cow on public land in this unit though.

 

[littlebuf]

the unit i hunt is bull only. so i guess i count as passing

 

[dreamingbig]

I will be hunting a cow or spike only unit most likely so I will not be passing.

 

[jdmaxwell]

If i am only one that can get a shot at a cow in the OTC either sex Unit we hunt, I will not pass it up..
Living in PA, its long way to travel to not come home with some meat for freezer..

 

[5MilesBack]

I won't be shooting a cow with the either sex tag unless it's my last day of hunting.

Same here. Being from PA I'm shooting the first legal elk I can.

 

[NoWiser]

Last year was my first ever elk hunt. I was bowhunting and started the hunt with visions of antlers in my head. After getting my butt kicked for 10 straight days in the mountains with almost nonstop rain, I think if I would have shot a cow I'd have been crying I'd have been so happy. Wherever I end up this year (unless I draw my Gila tag), if a cow is legal, I will not be passing her up no matter what. I want a freezer full of elk real bad and I can have just as much fun calling for my hunting partner as I can hunting myself.

 

[Ross]

no skin head for me, racked bull or eat the tag

 

[Shrek]

I'll pop a flop horn in a NY second ! I'll probably be in a brow tined bull only area but if I end up in an any elk hd it'll be just that for me.

 

[Jlbmlb4]

I learned my lesson last year. We were into elk everyday and I passed on spikes and cows. We never got a shot at a branch antler bull. My theory this year is I will shoot the same thing on the first day as I would on the last. So, yeah, I will not pass on a cow this year.......unless I get lucky in the draws I have pending and get a LE tag...then I will hold out

 

[Coyote Commander]

Got a freezer full of Hereford.

So calf makers get a pass.

 

[bobhunts]

I will pass until last hunt. Gonna have a good LE tag this year. Bob.
