Title: Clockum rifle cow tag
Post by: bear nature on October 14, 2021, 09:42:35 AM: So my wife drew a clockum rifle cow tag and didn't realize it didn't start for 3 days after general opening for elk, don't know that area very well and if having to wait 3 days will make it hard to find her a cow. She has never shot an elk and I would love to see her get one, so if there's any one out there that would be willing to give her some direction that would be greatly appreciated.

The elk are getting pushed pretty hard and you will see elk. Wife had the tag a couple years ago and we hiked down the ridge to the east of Brushy creek. Filled the tag in one day.

Good luck and make sure you update us with her success. A first elk is always special. :tup:

I would agree with this statement, pretty much any of the deep draws will hold elk, just be patient.

Post by: Rainier10 on November 08, 2021, 03:35:43 PM: I think anyone that is applying for a cow tag would be best off applying in a unit they are familiar with. The cow season is short and the learning curve in a new unit is steep.
