Hopefully you are not applying for special hunt tags, because those of us who enjoy it would appreciate less competition.

Don't really think he means it in the most literal sense. Prolly just frustrated.

I am indeed mystified how road hunting came into the discussion.

cow elk in 154 are the 2012 hide-and-seek champions!   :o

6 days of hunting, only spotted 5 elk.  all on hostile ground and singles with one cow/calf combo.  weren't even seeing many deer.  very weird.  the ground we had access to had no fresh sign newer than a couple of weeks.  our hot-dog spot near the shed hasn't had elk since summer, according to the sign!  :yike:

strangest elk season i've seen.  no deer, no elk, only 1 coyote.  there's usually some elk in the canyon behind my dad's place during spring/summer, but not this year.  my dad didn't fill his old man doe tag, either!   :yike: :bash:  sure, he could have shot one that he feeds in the pasture, but that's not much fun. 

so along with his doe tag, he's eating his cow tag.   >:( :bash: 

hence, elk hunting is dumb.   ;)

we road hunted some, he's almost 70 after all  ;).  but we ran every inch of the ground we have access to, too.  we hunted high, hunted low, hunted thick, thin, in/out, up/down...
