Dealing with lead cow elk?
After a week of scouting I finally started finding bulls. One in particular isn't too difficult to get to. There are about 7-9 cows, 3-4 calfs, and 2 bulls in this "herd" I've been hunting. 1 bull is confirmed legal, 4x3, and the other I couldn't tell. Opening day of muzzleloader (Saturday) I... -

Dealing with cows
I made a fence out of rope and they seem to be respecting it. They just go around the site when they pass by. They still like to walk up at night see what you're cooking tho but just shoe them off gently. -

Dealing with cows
I've got 300 feet of rope, I'm about to build a fence. Not electric, but hoping they see/feel it and at least stay out of the site. If they go around I'm cool with it. They were only in camp about 20 minutes before they moved on. Spent the last few hours since checking out other roads and... -

All designated sites in this area have fire rings, I think they were eating the charcoal. -

Dealing with cows
Got and set up camp about a week early for scouting, hunting muzzy season here in Colorado. Woke up this morning, was gonna be a chill day just driving some roads, getting to know the unit, figuring out trailheads and access points to spots I e-scouted, but there was a bunch of cows in camp... -

Blue/Dusky Grouse Stories and Tips Wanted!
Nice man sounds like a pretty good day out. As far as sage vs dusky I would assume the tail feathers are the best way to tell the difference. I have never seen or hunted sage grouse but I searched "Female sage grouse in flight," followed by the same search for dusky grouse in google images and...- COrookie
