Title: cow tag, manashtash area
Post by: bigmak154 on June 22, 2011, 10:05:29 PM: Hey guys, I drew a cow tag over in the manashtash area for this year and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on where to go?

Patients with all the people moving through the area is key it is hard to get very far away from them with roads every which way you look. What season did you draw your cow tag for modern? Wish you luck on a successful hunt. I have taken several cows out of that area in the 17 years i've been hunting there. :)

I have hunted GMU 340 for 15 years mostly archery and you should have really good chances on harvesting a cow. Last time I rifle hunted in that unit it was over run with hunters. Get over the road a ways and you should be in good shape.
