Looking for feedback
« on: July 22, 2020, 06:40:30 AM »
This year both my wife and I drew archery elk tags. However, not for the same unit. My wife drew a Rimrock cow tag and I drew Peaches Ridge. My first thought naturally was we would put all the time necessary into the bull tag, then transition over to Rimrock if I was successful with my bull. I am fortunate enough to be able to take the entire season off work as is she, so that isn't a factor.
Now I am thinking about it more and the feedback that I am soliciting is if perhaps we should start in Rimrock for the cow with a set amount of days success or not then go over to Little Naches? Give the season a little time to progress into the rut? Like I said above I know the easy answer is go after the bull, but is that really the right answer?
Help!

Bull tag gets total priority regardless of who drew it.

If you’re both up for putting in some seriously hard work, that bull tag would be waaaay more fun to hunt than the cow tag! For both of you. Jmo. Ymmv

I'd bet it's alot longer until one of you draws another bull tag than a cow tag. I'd go for broke on the bulk tag before I thought about cow. Youll draw another cow tag. Can't say the same about a bull tag the way things are going.

Cow tags have significantly higher draw odds.

Peaches is mathematically an OIL, regardless of the law.

If you were my friend, I'd call you crazy for even considering putting the cow ahead of the bull.

Only your and your wife's opinion of what is "right" matters.

Congrats on the draw, great tag for sure!

"Do you open the door for your wife?"
LOL! It varies!
To be honest she already is under the impression we are going for the bull then cow if still time left. I appreciate everyone's feedback on the subject. As far as she has already been told, and what she had assumed anyway was the bull tag first and she absolutely understands. She is my caller so she is practicing the calls every evening.

The best of all worlds.  Horns or Meat??  With her being your caller that will help in the drive to be successful as a team.  Your efforts in getting her cow after the Bull need to be Monumental at the least.  Good luck to the pair of you and have some fun.

I partly disagree  :yeah:

Not familiar with your season dates, but if the bull permit starts the same time/same unit that general does....I would hunt for a few days on the cow(could be easy 1 day kill) then after all the weekend warriors leave after the first 3-4 days in the bull unit, hunt it hard.

I had an archery permit 2 years ago, and the action got much better after most of the general guys left.

Bull tag 1st. You both are hunting regardless of who's name is on the tag. Good luck to both of you
