Title: Re: Wind river cow tag.
Post by: Jason on November 08, 2016, 05:54:00 AM: Rick, how's it going with that cow tag? We. We haven't laid eyes on a single Elk yet. It's turning out a lot like last year in the wind. Hopefully they start moving soon and we need some weather to move in.
Title: Re: Wind river cow tag.
Post by: bearmanric on November 08, 2016, 06:34:41 PM: Tough getting close no live ones. Going towards goose lake in the morning maybe. Camped at trout lake. Rick

Post by: bearmanric on November 16, 2016, 05:46:22 AM: Last day. Hardest hunt I have done. Seen a huge buck and several dandy's chasing the girls. Will be nice tomorrow getting home and seeing my Grandson I did get him a bear rug in June. Another hour and it's magic time. Rick
Title: Re: Wind river cow tag.
Post by: bearmanric on November 16, 2016, 07:23:03 AM: Snowing.
Title: Re: Wind river cow tag.
Post by: Wolfdog2314 on November 16, 2016, 08:16:25 AM: Good luck! Hunting in the snow is always fun, and seeing nice bucks is a plus!

Post by: Bulldozer77 on November 24, 2016, 11:26:15 AM: That is not an easy tag to fill. I've gotten some pictures of really nice bulls in there on game cam, but hunting them is a whole different story. Saw one cow in there during deer season, but that's it.

Post by: Jason on November 24, 2016, 09:12:44 PM: I'll be back in the Wind tomorrow morning chasing them Elk also with my multi-season Elk tag. Hopefully the hunting has gotten better now that we have some harsher weather and maybe even some snow.

The Wind River is really one of those units where you need the weather to get the Elk moving, some of the best modern Elk seasons there is when we had the worst weather, mostly between 2005-12, in those years I took 4 bulls and a cow, all were killed during days when it was windy, rainy and foggy or we had good snow. With these mild weathered modern seasons that we've had the last few years the Elk have been tough to get, I'm 0-4 :bash: but that's hunting.

Post by: elksnout on November 27, 2016, 07:52:03 PM: Muzzle loader cow tag. Spent the last three days in the Wind and didn't see chit...all the tracks were old. They're holed up somewhere I suppose.
