Would you kill her?

Big fat cow walks in at 20 yards with her calf. Her calf is not milking anymore and is basically on her own but still fallows. Do you whack her? Just want your guys

Whack the calf.

I will most assuredly be in the minority; but, I would pass on the shot.

I dont have a cow tag and can not make that call, but if I had a cow tag then no.  If there is a young one there I will just shoot it with my camera.

If my freezer were empty...........yes.

How would you know that the calf is no longer milking?

Took the words out of my mouth.  Was wondering the same thing?  If it looked like the calf was big enought to fend for itself.... Then yes,  I would take the shot.

Yupp couple packs of elk burger left, no steaks once so ever. Pretty empty

I had a big cow with 2 calves come under my treestand last year during archery in Little Naches. I watched Them for about 30 minutes and passed on the shot. They were talking back and forth quite a bit. I guess I am getting soft

I think this was asked before and someone mentioned that a calf that already weened will still have the herd  to protect it even if the mother is killed.  With a deer the fawn would be on its own.  If that is true I would feel much more comfortable about taking the cow.

[blacktail luv]

Have passed on the same senario in the past and will continue to.  Not a cow killer, calf or not.

I would tranquilize the both of them. Then I would ship them to Hawaii. They wouldn't know what the heck was going on but at least the weather would be good. 

[adamR]

there is nothing wrong with shooting a cow or calf... I would shoot whichever one gave me the best shot first

From what I've seen in the mountains on recent scouting trips, it'll be tough to find a cow that doesn't have a calf; lots of babies running with the herds this year!
