me, my dad and grandpa had a muzzleloader cow special permit for boisfort this last janurary and the hoof rot was horrible. I kept seing the same heard of twenty in the same field every morning and all but two were limpers. they couldnt run it was kind of sad to see. we had numerous opportunities to shot one in this herd but we were skeptical so we let them go. We say 30-70 elk a day for two weeks and i would say half of those were limping, with one herd having two great legal bulls that limped. Once we were able to find some elk off the valley floor they were fine. It was a hard hunt to stomach really.
