Title: Landowner Cow Tag Sought
Post by: RilePrecise on July 19, 2024, 07:55:18 AM: Morning folks! Was over on Rokslide looking for a WA cow tag or two for myself and a buddy (who is a veteran, if that matters) and they suggested trying here. Just looking to fill the freezer. Any help is appreciated!

No kidding, i see some of those cow/spike hunts in other states and I could buy a whole beef and it would still be cheaper lol.

Post by: teanawayslayer on July 22, 2024, 09:18:23 AM: I would suggest figuring out what farmers get depredation tags. And good luck getting one. They usually give them out to friends and family. Other than that you’ll probably be outta luck

Post by: asmith on July 22, 2024, 09:42:26 AM: Since we are handing out landowner tags, sign me up. We are all hoping to fill the freezer and most of us put time into scouting and/or knocking on doors.

If someone happened to know of a landowner handing out tags, they sure wouldn't just give the information to a random first post on here. Good luck, I guess you never know the answer to a question unasked, but seems you have your answer now.

Post by: elkslayer069 on July 22, 2024, 03:28:10 PM: You can buy elk sheds just as easy as you can elk tags. Most folks don’t have either the money or the want to do so.

And then we go looking for mushrooms
And chances are you will go home meatless.

Oregon is a better option.

Post by: Macs B on July 23, 2024, 08:39:34 AM: I can't imagine too many land owners would be willing to give away a depredation tag. They aren't the easiest thing to get in the first place. If you are trying to get one for your own land then you need to start early and document the heck out of the damage the elk are doing. Fish and Wildlife will argue till they are blue in the face, right up until you pull out photos and quote damage costs. Then common sense usually prevails.
