area 7

any one hunted area 7 this year , or 72a , just trying to find out what the cow elk herd looks like this year , have two cow tags , just curious , were going , no matter what , most of the fun is just being there!

Lots of tag holders everywhere. Even in the wilderness area. Did not see lots of cows. But I know they are there. Goodluck, fatrooster.

Ditto.

More bulls than cows.

I just got back from a 14 day hunt. Three of us, harvested 2 bucks and 2 cows. Spent ~7 days at spike camp about 8 miles in to the wilderness boundary. Saw lots of cows, not a single person.

Find a sheltered area next to the steepest stuff you can climb and set up camp. They will move to avoid pressure, so move away from people with them. Be glassing from up high at first light.

Eat more than enough food, don't get sweaty, and get enough sleep. We didn't have as much luck at last light as we did in the morning, so frequently focused on getting to bed early to wake up at 3-4 AM to hike. You don't want to begin a tracking/butchering job at sundown anyway.

Biggest thing I learned is to take it easy on your body because the elk will outlast you in those conditions. It was more of an endurance competition than a hunt. The animals were everywhere, but you had to have the mental game to get to them.

How as the deer hunting?

If Hunting and Angling Ended
There is no alternative funding system
in place to replace the potential lost
funds for conservation. If hunting and
angling end, funding for wildlife
conservation, including enforcement of
all wildlife laws, will be jeopardized.
Hunters, anglers and shooters actively
support wildlife conservation through
tangible actions such as buying licenses
and paying taxes on hunting, fishing and
shooting equipment. Why are hunters and
anglers so willing to support
conservation through their pocketbooks?
Because people place added value on ?
and are willing to pay for ? what they
can use.
