thanks, I'm sorry, hope nobody gets mad at me but I think antlerless hunts should be slowed down especially blacktails.

Don't want to shoot cow with calf...been watching too many bambi kissing shows on the animal planet?

Good argument is always good for the blood flow.

The only problem is that if the population is open to cow harvest, then WDFW is probably trying to reduce the population and it likely will never explode.

I pack in the wilderness 11 miles for my elk hunt and on the average see about 20 cows and 2 or 3 bulls (1 usually dies) in 9 days. when I got home there was a herd of 42 cows and 7 bulls in my lower pasture. I would like to see those numbers or more in the mountains thats all i'm saying

I just finished dinner.  Calf elk steaks that I killed 10 days ago.  Tender as a ....babies butt..... :rolleyes:

I hope that anyone with moral or ethical issues when shooting a LEGAL calf also does not eat chicken or pork from the store.  Chicken are on average 5 WEEKS old when killed.  Hogs are on average about 6 months old. 

Just don't put in for an antlerless unit if you have a problem with it.  Hunt for and hopefully shoot an older legal bull.
