Hey Y'll

I am really new to Elk hunting. Shot my first ever bull last year with a rifle in Wyoming. I want to go back and bow hunt the same spot. Trouble is it will take several years to draw a bull tag again. So if I went for a cow instead, I can get a OTC cow tag. What are the strategies for hunting cows with a bow. Spot and Stalk only?

Thank you

September cow hunts are a gift. Fighting off spikes can be a chore, but cows respond very well to calling.

For spot and stalk, they gotta eat....roll up on the feeding area at the crack of dawn and if that falls apart, they're gonna bed within about 15/20 minutes of elk walking.....which could be 1 mile or 500 yards depending on the location. Let them bed for an hour and get sneaky.
