KingJeff187 Report post Posted April 14, 2016 So My daughter and nephew drew JR's cow tags in unit 22. Last year i got my buddy and his wife tagged out on the early rifle cow hunt in unit 10 last . The herd they harvested Their cows out of still had vocal bulls in it and this was the 2nd and 3rd week of October last year. My question being, since unit 22 is a little lower elevation could the elk in 22 still be semi rutting for the JR's hunt if the weather stays warmer like it did last year? I think it would be awesome if i could at the very least curiosity call a cow in for my daughter. Any thoughts or experience with this would be great. I have spent plenty of time in 22 but never actually hunted it for elk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LawDog Report post Posted April 15, 2016 My buddy's kids tagged out during the same hunt within five minutes of one another. It was a long day but wasn't too hard to find the cows. PM if you want any ideas. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
down2hunt Report post Posted April 15, 2016 Nice, I just found out about 10 minutes ago that my son also drew the 22 Jr. Cow hunt. Congrats. I've never hunted that unit. I've always been on top of the rim in 4A. Maybe we can hook up and do some scouting? I need to start doing my home work and get familiar with that area. Oct. 7th will be here just before you know it.

KingJeff187 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks. I'm pretty familiar with the area from deer hunting it. But if I run into any hang ups I might have to take you up on that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingJeff187 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 I'll be heading up a few times before the hunt. But I know the area and elk I'm pretty sure we're going to hunt. My dad has a cabin just north of payson so we'll be hunting in that area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
