Who will shoot a cow elk this year?

Cow tag for me this year. On an ES tag it would depend on my freezer.

If it’s brown, it’s down!

Bull only.

Won't hesitate at all to take a cow this year. Love the taste of pressure-cooked elk. Hopefully it's a tasty two-year-old.

Going to try hard to hold out for a bull, as I have two other cow tags.

Couple buddies and I have some cow tags in NM this year. Looking forward to it!

After three years in a row of hunting bulls and going 2 out of 3, I’ve got me a cow tag this year. I’ve enjoyed the bull meat very much, but can’t wait to harvest another cow. Any elk is good IMO for sure!

My ID tag is bulls only, but I’d shoot a cow if I could. Just hoping to avoid tag soup.

Anything that gives me a good shot under 30 yards!

E/S tag... first one that is legal in shooting range.

10 day hunt this year - bull only during this first few days and then first legal opportunity for the remainder

Lots of "if's" for me. I'm going on my buddy's draw archery hunt first. If he kills a bull before ML is over, then my daughter has a ML cow tag to fill. If she shoots a cow, and "if" I get an OTC tag after her hunt, then I'll hold out for a bull. If she doesn't shoot one, then I'll shoot whatever I get a shot at first. And if she doesn't hunt during ML or doesn't shoot one with that tag, then there's always the later rifle seasons she can hunt as well.

I usually say if I'm down to the last 2-3 days of the hunt and things have been slow I'll take a cow. But honestly if it's a real easy packout she's probably going down and I'll just hunt with/call for my buddy the rest of the trip. I love bugleing bulls but at the end of the day I want to fill my freezer.

Not before day 9 of 12 day hunt.

Hope to get both , for the both of us. We have unlimited cow licenses so might try for a couple of cows each and a bull.

Bull Only this year as my tag says so. Other years with ES I would have taken a cow. Skipped my first shot ever off a cows back...since then I've passed cows twice when I had better tags...but would have always taken a cow in OTC or 0 point unit.

My experience tells me it's far easier to get closer with archery to a bull than a cow...like maybe a 10:1 ratio of bull encounters to cow in archery range.

Daughter has a cow tag this year.

 

[Gerbdog]

Im gonna hold for a bull ... i may regret it .... i'd like to fill the freezer for sure this year cause next year i think i'm gonna be focused on Mulies with friends ..... That said.... i'd probably take a cow that last week .... assuming i even have the chance.

Cow tag is what I have so I'm a little one sided on that decision.

If I had an either sex it would be hard to punch a cow tag and would have to be a game time decision based on how the hunt was unfolding. Bird in the hand and all...
