Leaving in the morning for a week of scouting. Maybe I can find one of those bench leg bucks.  Trailer is ready.  I will be at the Trout lake county campground. Rick ;) ;) ;)

Rick, how's it going with that cow tag? We. We haven't laid eyes on a single Elk yet. It's turning out a lot like last year in the wind. Hopefully they start moving soon and we need some weather to move in.

That is not an easy tag to fill. I've gotten some pictures of really nice bulls in there on game cam, but hunting them is a whole different story. Saw one cow in there during deer season, but that's it.

Heading into the Wind this weekend to hopefully fill my muzzleloader cow permit.  Praying for snow but wishing I had more time to hunt!

I'll be back in the Wind tomorrow morning chasing them Elk also with my multi-season Elk tag. Hopefully the hunting has gotten better now that we have some harsher weather and maybe even some snow.

The Wind River is really one of those units where you need the weather to get the Elk moving, some of the best modern Elk seasons there is when we had the worst weather, mostly between 2005-12, in those years I took 4 bulls and a cow, all were killed during days when it was windy, rainy and foggy or we had good snow. With these mild weathered modern seasons that we've had the last few years the Elk have been tough to get, I'm 0-4  :bash: but that's hunting.

Muzzle loader cow tag. Spent the last three days in the Wind and didn't see chit...all the tracks were old. They're holed up somewhere I suppose.
Can't we all just get along?
