Hi folks, first post on this board as I am a new member. My dad (65) and myself (41) drew toutle cow tags for next Mondays opener. Not looking for any secrets as we have scouted the North end pretty well. Just wanted to see how the modern firearm bull tag holders have done that are just finishing up? Getting excited, havent got a cow since the last one in my profile pic from Yale back in 2006.
I believe it starts on the 19th(tuesday)...double check the regs to make sure

Congrats on the tag, you drew it about 10 yrs too late though. There are still elk there, many of which have hoof rot. Hopefully you can fill your tag on a healthy cow.why not shoot one with rot? nothing at all wrong with them except the hoof is ugly...
good luck on the hunt! shouldn't be too hard to fill

The hoof rot goes up into the meat in some cases. Smells nasty! I wouldn't eat it if somebody paid me. Not all of them have it, but I'd say 75% of the elk I've seen in the toutle unit have it.Congrats on the tag, you drew it about 10 yrs too late though.

ive killed 3 bulls in coweeman with hoof rot and never noticed anything strange or weird about the meat at all...

Congrats on your cow! Nice rifle too, those are real tack drivers! What cal is yours?:yeah:
Tack drivers yes, but in larger calibers they kick like a mule! :yike:
My cousin has a 30.06 that's nicknamed the bone crusher because of what it does to your shoulder. :chuckle:
