340 tough hunting! Update. Filled the tag!
« on: October 02, 2011, 09:48:59 PM »
  Two days in not a fresh track in sight.  Been all over the area I hunt and nothing.  Got a muzzy cow tag in my pocket and need to fill it!
  Anyony else having the same prob?


  Not the biggest cow, but she will be good eating!

Pm me and maybe we can discuss some different areas in 340 you can try. I have the modern cow tag and have done some scouting in that area

Last year I went up 2 days before the season started to scout.  Scouting was a waste of time; I saw lots of animals and the bulls were bulging but as opening day drew near, more and more camps sprung up.  Many of the places where I had seen elk had tents on or near them by opening morning.  No surprise that the elk had moved, the trick is finding where they go to hide.
