How far out is your hunt? I've read somewhere (maybe the JW Thomas book, can't remember) about elk being back in a burn within days. Even if they haven't returned, where are they most likely to escape to? They'll probably be concentrated there. I'd take a quick look before writing the area...
Indeed. The joke was meant to be about a dumb guy (me) so excited for this thing we've all waited 12 months for that he completely forgets what day it is. Anyways, when you talk of poaching online, you're playing with fire.

This right here is my problem with it. Political cartoons used to be witty and sharp. Through the artwork they used to draw analogies you may not of thought of yourself. Nowadays they're just as lazy as debate has become. Folks looking to score points cheap. Not worth looking at because...
I took a cow last year on an either sex tag and i'm proud to have done it. It was the fifth day of what is generally considered to be one of the harder archery hunts in years due to the drought and lack of rutting action. I think it's a case by case sort of thing. If we'd been into screaming...
