...tag soup...

[wildgene]

...or these pics pretty much define my second season cow/ calf tag. Opening morning saw some elk coming down a draw, got ahead of 'em & set up, they came out walking 50yds. from me, all 4 of 'em had spikes...

...private land...



...4 cows on private...



...more elk on private...







...not elk...



...yesterday was the last day, saw elk @ daylight in a snowstorm, circled up & around 'em, came out & had a perfect standing broadside shot @ just over 100yds., more spikes... :roll: :lol: :mrgreen:

And that is why it is "hunting," and not "harvesting." :grin:

Great photos!

Any of the season left? Any chance of getting on that private property for the cow elk tag?

Or... Do you like beef & chicken? :mrgreen:

I've eaten a lot of tag soup over the years... It's not all that bad.

Awesome pix. I love hunting country like that, and miss the views and sheer number of animals you have the opportunity to see compared to hunting in dense timber.

...all is not lost, I got a pretty nice mule deer & a huge cow, just didn't get an opportunity to fill the second tag, cows never left a 1/2mi. of private...

...so do the woofs, they know if they cross the fenceline, they're "fair game" so it's kind of a Mexican Standoff...

I too have had tag soup on a few occasions, not fun :evil: Good pics though!

 

[sask boy]

Gene, I think that most of us have had to make tag soup at one time or another ! I guess that is all part of this sport we call hunting.
Thank you for the post and the beautiful photographs!!

Blessings,

...well, I ain't gonna starve, had my first cow hung up next to two others & she was about 25% bigger than both of those, pretty good size for a cow...

 

[DrMike]

Yup, I believe that'll do, Gene. Looking good; and she'll look better packaged and frozen awaiting the grill.
