Spring Elk Hunt

I was thinking the same thing  was also kinda thinking this is an easy answer to the shooting a pregnant cow dilemma.

I'd also be careful to make sure it's not a bull that had dropped his head gear, good luck.

Why would he care about that?

That's actually a good point. If a bull is without antlers, it's legal with an antlerless permit, and no baby elk inside to worry about. Might be a better option than a calf- more meat. But then again, hunting with a bow, probably have to take what you can get.

I think the primary point of these tags is to pressure the animals off of farms and keep the, from destroying crops and not necessarily to reduce numbers.  Though reduction would be a side affect

Good luck!

Use the gutless method and you won't have to worry about seeing a fetus. I know that would bother me; especially as late as this hunt is.

They'd make him buy another tag.

I would wait until they are feeding in the middle of a field and have your buddy drive his dirt bike right into the herd.  Then you sit on the back with at least a 12 pack of arrows and start letting them fly.  Should be able to make it happen.  And just gut the thing during the night and you won't have to worry about seeing jr.  You could always close your eye's to.

Good call

Last year's calf would be very tast! And much easier to drag....

i didn't think it was legal to kill a bull w/out antlers on a cow hunt, guess I'm wrong.  I personally would not want to kill a bull or buck w/out antlers, but that's just me.

There are no "cow" hunts. There are antlerless hunts.

In my mind it would be a damn shame if someone shot a bull that had already shed his antlers on a antlerless hunt. One less mature bull for breeding and one less for some lucky hunter that draws a bull tag next year. In my opinion we should not have any antlerless hunts after January 31. Good luck on your hunt though, I hope you get a young tender cow or calf.
