Title: manastash cow tag part 2
Post by: deadwoodbuck on August 23, 2011, 03:27:13 PM: :dunno: last year I missed out on filling a cow tag that I had been putting in for 6 years. so this year my hunting partner gets drawn for a cow tag that he has been waiting for 6 years. the ol muzzy season is a joke but hey I'm a sucker for a hunt anytime any where :bash: we have scouted the manastash top to bottom and wonder :dunno: tamarac springs, the old pig farm or or deep inside unknown canyon. being wetsiders our dirt time is limited by more than fulltime employment. last year was a heatwave for 10 days...and this year 7 days to get the elk steaks on the barby. so high low or deep inside...what say you what see you?

Ive heard shadow creek holds alot that time of year.
I will be hunting that season too. Last year archery we saw quite a few elk but never connected. This year should be a slam dunk with the muzzy tag :tup: :IBCOOL:
Meat in the freezer!

if you cannot find a cow somewhere between Shadow Creek and Grasshopper Flats, you need to get out of camp/truck whatever...

Your season should have plenty of action with other hunters. I hunt the modern and with all the roads being closed washed out or whatever there should be double the orange in the area. Specially the guys that don`t pay attention and roll in at midnight to discover a road closure. Puts them in bottom camp on the Robinson. I was up there last weekend and all the roads were washed out and there were no signs of any elk. :bdid: :chuckle:
