Turkeyman, i am right there with you. We used to get bulls every year, now we are getting to the point of every other year. We are into bulls every year still but what we are seeing is fewer and fewer groups of animals.
We had a muzzy cow tag go unfilled, the person in our group that had it couldn't single out a cow without a calf. That is our challenge.
Most people pull the trigger on any cow they see, we will not pull the trigger if the cow has a trailing calf.
Now my 13 year old son has the tag with me, it really is his first big game hunt and he is my focus. I am going to try and hold him back from shooting a cow with a calf because i don't need to ruin his hunting experience with a calf that won't leave. I can fill the tag every day, so i am going to wait untill he has filled his, hopefully tuesday.
We also were blanked in the elk department this year, we did get 3 deer but no elk. Really need to replenish the freezer.
