Title: Yakima Area Cow Tags
Post by: Slamadoo on May 12, 2010, 09:11:56 PM: Is it just me or did they greatly reduce the number of cow tags in the Yakima area? If Im not mistaken there were like 100 cow tags given out for Bethel last year. I was just looking at the regs online and it said 10.

They're wanting to reduce antlerless harvest in that area. However, they opened up Little Naches for the first time ever for either sex archery early season.

I was loking at the same thing I have last years regs and across the board they cut them in more than half take bumping for example your better off going for a branched tag they are giving out around 40 more tags :dunno: do the math on that one
