Did the Suffield cow cull hunt once really because my lifelong hunting partner wanted to, had I known, "no one was participating" here I would've been in like flynn on this hunt. One rm is 20 mi from here. Never liked elk before that Suffield hunt. All I'd had was large rank bulls uncles had brought back from the foothills/livingstone range. Cow I shot at Suffield was some of the best meat I've ever eaten.
........and btw, I Looked for the fetus, size of a fist. May pi$$ some off, but I figured if it was a 20lb calf it'd be on the barbie. Ya, in a heartbeat.
You have to realize elk are like rats, they breed faster than you would believe if not kept in check. Living close to Suffield taught me that. Last time I hunted antelope NW of Bow Island I saw more elk than antelope.
Agreed, more fall tags would be the ideal, but I see nothing wrong with cull hunts When Warranted. Same goes for deer when necessary.
If same next yr and no one wants the tags, I'm in.
Just mpo, flame away.
