Going over last years harvest report numbers I notice for Mt. Spokane B tag, which is an Antlerless Only tag, I noticed that 12 took cows and 2 took Antlered. Do you think it is a miss print? How could that be? Anybody got any ideas? Just curious.....
-
I would think they shot a calf that was a male I have seen that also and that's all I could think of
-
Ya....that could be.
-
I haven't read the regs but it may have to do w/ the size of the antlers. Under a certain size it still qualifies as a cow :dunno:
I've seen other critters classified in this manner.
-
i think me and smdave saw something like that in the deer draw reports as well.

I just want to draw one!!

Same here. I will be asking a million questions and saving cash like crazy.

I've seen that in the harvest reports quite a few times with deer and elk permits, and the only thing I could think of is the same as mkcj said, that the "antlered" animals were young males with no visible antlers yet. That's the only way they could legally be shot with an antlerless tag. But why they put them in the harvest report as antlered, I don't know. Weird. :dunno:
-
The auction and/or raffle tag holders can hunt all those units too and their harvest will show up in the stats. It really looks funny when they issue 10 tags and show 12 kills!
-
with deer and elk antlerless permits if they run concurrent with the general season then those with permits could still shoot antlered animals, but on the moose thats a wierd one no explanation
