Title: Daughter drew Mossyrock cow... 8 1/2 months pregnant, any suggestions?
Post by: Igottanewknee on September 25, 2015, 11:38:10 AM: I don't think we'll do a lot of hiking, looking for ideas. Up side... This could be my 4th grandson, which could help grandpa out in 10, 12 years when I'll need it.

Post by: lokidog on September 25, 2015, 12:36:28 PM: She must have known she was pregnant when she applied for the tag. Did she have a tough time with math in school??? :chuckle: :chuckle:

Good luck.

Post by: westsidehntr on September 25, 2015, 02:26:17 PM: Just bring plenty of towels and ... um other stuff you need to give birth in the truck! Those bumpy roads might get things rolling! Add in the excitement of a kill and uh oh... The water broke! Make sure you know the route to the nearest hospital!

Post by: floatinghat on September 25, 2015, 03:27:04 PM: You will have an infant in the field unless you live real close. Women in many third world nations drop the pup and get right back to work if you want to look at that bar. The question, do you or they need the meat that bad?

Post by: Bigshooter on September 25, 2015, 04:05:48 PM: That's gonna be a tough hunt. Not much access where there are elk. Unless you have a St Helens weyco permit.

Post by: gaddy on September 25, 2015, 04:16:29 PM: What an awesome experience this could be. Just be prepared. Go for it! What a story that could be told.
Title: Re: Daughter drew Mossyrock cow... 8 1/2 months pregnant, any suggestions?
Post by: Igottanewknee on September 25, 2015, 04:59:29 PM: As a matter of fact, I usually put in for the tags. SHE could have informed grandpa of her condition. Really didn't expect to get drawn, as I haven't put her in for a cow tag since she was drawn three years ago. We'll give it a go.... Could get lucky. :dunno:

:yeah: Kind of what I was thinking. I teach a lot of firearms classes and its widely recommended that full term, soon to be mothers not participate in shooting sports.

Post by: predatorG on September 26, 2015, 08:44:23 AM: Can she pull back a bow? It won't be so loud on the little man's ears if you know you can get one in close.

Post by: Igottanewknee on September 26, 2015, 09:03:16 AM: My buddy has a crossbow.... That would be an option. Yes... She will be just over 8 months at the beginning of elk season.
Title: Re: Daughter drew Mossyrock cow... 8 1/2 months pregnant, any suggestions?
Post by: DIYARCHERYJUNKIE on September 26, 2015, 09:45:11 AM: Crossbow it is! She should be fine. Just take it easy when the elk are three ridges away and your closing the distance... :chuckle:

Post by: cem3434 on September 26, 2015, 11:07:50 AM: My wife killed a bull a couple of years ago when she was almost 7 months pregnant with our daughter and a cow last year when she was about 5 months pregnant with our son. She also killed deer both years she was pregnant with the kids, so needless to say I did a lot of packing and not much hunting myself. We looked at it as though being pregnant gave her a little more luck.

I like your thinking. Maybe with some luck she shoots her 2nd elk ever this year and gets drawn for quality next year with her 11 points... :tup: I'm doing multi season deer this year, so I hopefully can do enough scouting to set her up to succeed. (I know, I should be out today, but I plan on being out tomorrow.)
