I had more than a few times in the spring season to shoot a sow with cub. But declined ,because of all drama ,and reporting,ect,that has been going on with the spring season.Fall season I just figured if your gonna make a mistake ,better to do it in the fall season.Maybe I'm wrong ,but that's what I was thinking.

Yeah I definitely would not shoot a sow with Cubs on purpose. But at the same time given the hunting methods we have in Washington I would not lose sleep over it if it happened. I’m sure I would feel bad when I realized what I did. But knowing they wouldnt suffer a long drawn out death because as soon as they start bawling the closest boar is going to come to the dinner bell it probably wouldn’t weigh on my mind too long. I guess that probably sounds kind of brutal but in the grand scheme of things not really any different than all the fawns/calves that are being killed on a daily basis.

All I meant was I was extra careful in the spring.Mistakes happen ,but yes I would never on purpose.
Ok, so the gist of it is.... you can't? How about I rephrase the question, have you ever called in a sow with cubs? Were the cubs hot on her heals, or lagging behind?
