I need some help! Margart cow tag for January.

[fireweed]

Three things are crashing elk numbers in Margaret
1) Too many trees--not enough feed.  All that Weyco. blast zone has grown up and new clearcuts are sprayed heavy instead of burned.
2) Game Dept. piling on permits to intentionally drop numbers after a winter die-off a few years back and Weyco. complaining about elk eating trees (since there is not much left to eat).
3) Hoof rot starting to hit them up there.

Find feed=find elk

[lewy]

  Took my dad down yesterday and after a long day of hunt'n finally found a small group of elk and killed a cow. I know its an odd winter with the lack of snow but it sure seemed like there were no elk any ware! Even when we looked down in the loo wit? Felt pretty fortunate to fill the tag.
