My dad and cousin are already up there.  They pulled the pics off the trail cam and sent them to me.  Three different 6x6 on the camera.  We put it out Aug 4th.  Now I won't be able to sleep for the next three nights!

Hold out! You have an oppurtunity to shoot a cow every year and have been fairly successful doing so...a chance at a big bull is once every 5-10yrs. Its a no brainer. Best feeling I've ever had bowhunting was holding out on a 6 day hunt and shoot a 6x6 on the last hour of the last day. Hold out or go home empty. Good luck!

I am heading out tonight.  Word on the street is that the action is heating up.  I am going to hold out as long as I can and hope that I get blessed with an opportunity.

Good luck.  You can always hunt the late season for a cow in the Ahtanum area.  That said.....

....don't pass up on the first day what you'd shoot on the last.  It's your tag, your priorities.  I didn't hestitate to shoot a cow on my MT tag last year, and wouldn't again.  However, my priority is white packages in the freezer.

Shoot straight.

Yeah hold out for a bull the whole time. It'd be your luck that you'd shoot a cow and then the big boy would come out. I'd rather regret passing up a cow at the end of the season than shooting a cow and thinking i might of had a bull. Good luck!

I wouldn't shoot a cow at all.  There are tons of late season cow hunts that give you a very good chance at killing cow.  If you just want meat, shoot a cow in the late season.

I didn't shoot a cow but I wasn't very picky either.  I will tell the story in another thread but here are a couple of pictures.  I shot it on my second day afield, September 8th.

That's a bull to be proud of. Looks like you put a hole in his heart, too. Nicely done.
