No, it wasn't Kenny. My buddies hunt was two years before. Kenny knows how to elk hunt.

I drew a cow tag about 8 years ago. It was the year before they went to once in a lifetime, so I got lucky in that respect. I can start applying again in 2012.
I'm not positive, but it seems like thier elk herd is skewed and by that I mean more bulls than cows in the herd. Maybe the bulls were just out roaming in singles and pairs and the cows hanging out in groups. Either way finding a cow was almost impossible. I saw several shootable bulls before I ever saw my cow. That was on the second morning.
Of all the guys in my group only one hunter, a bull hunter who filled his tag, had seen ANY cows the whole first day. Apparently I was the only one smart enough to ask him where he went! I went there and shot my cow at sun up the next morning.

I heard the cows like to stay in the cover, they don't have the head gear that keep the bulls in the open.
I'm sure that headgear might be a little incovnient, but trust me when I say that does not stop bulls from finding the thickest, nasiest, darkest timber and hanging out there.
Although, you may be correct in stating cows on the refuge, for whatever reason, don't come out in the open as often.
All the cows i saw were with calves are on full alert. I could have taken 4 diff bulls, but only cow i jad a shot at was 360 yards out. It was late in the day and the first day so i held off. I wish now i had took the shot
Yes, this was about the refuge, they don't get a lot of hunting pressure.
Way to go on the muley Deercreek.. I have seriously thought about bowhunting there.. You think it would be worth my time given the terrain you hunted??? Thanks..
So you're the one who got my tag!
I apply for Sandy Sanders every year, but haven't drawn yet.
