SwampMafia Report post Posted January 21, 2014 drew the youth cow tag years back. Figured Id share the story. We spent about 3 total weekends scouting in preparation for my hunt. My dad and I finally felt confident in our knowledge of the herd routes and where to locate elk morning afternoon and evening. When the season finally comes around we're eager and and arrive there a day in advance. Let me tell y'all I have never heard so much bugling in my life and I have had the wonderful opportunity of drawing a 2 early archery tags and tagging along on numerous other hunts. This really got the blood pumpin heck I think I slept like 5 minutes that night. Opening morning we head out to a promising area and start chasing bugles in hopes of findin some cows with them. We located 3 bulls around the 300-280 range but they were all satellites. After about 6 hours of chasing these satellite bulls, we decide it's time to try a different area. As we are heading back to the truck, as luck will have it a whole herd of 20 runs right in front of us 1/4 mile from the truck. The herd bull in this group had to be a 350 bull! I chose out the cow in the back and the 30-06 did the rest. The pack out was fairly simple we quartered it and got it all out in 3 trips. This hunt all in all was a very memorable one and I enjoyed every minute of it. We actually mounted this cow as odd as it may seem. It was honestly the prettiest cow I ever seen. I am now workin on gettin a bull to mount next to it. Any youth lookin for a fun hunt this one shoul not be overlooked! If any of y'all draw this tag I'll be happy to help ya out n point ya in the right direction. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwampMafia Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Hey thanks fellas I appreciate it! @khmer6 yes this is the late October juniors hunt. I believe it has been pushed back a week since I had the tag but it should still be a fairly easy one to fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
