Title: Alkali Cow Tag
Post by: DeerThug on October 29, 2024, 07:02:09 PM: I drew an Alkali cow tag. My soninlaw knows where the elk are out there and knows most of the training center pretty well. I have a built in guide. BUT he sent me a text this afternoon and he is not going to be able to go with me this weekend. He is going to bring me his maps and point me in the right direction. So I'm winging it to some degree. It has been 20 years since I have been out there and I know the maze of roads are a challenge.

SOooooooo if there is anyone around Yakima that knows the training center well and has a REC card and would want to go wack a cow with me this Saturday - shoot me a PM

Good luck.

The fog can set in out there, and can be the worst you've ever seen, can make it a slow trip out after dark. Follow the speed limit, and the rules, and its pretty easy to get along out there without any trouble.
