i got an early season cow rifle tag, sept. 1- sept 30. i guess it is to thin out the numbers in moffat county, CO before season starts and the elk get scattered. It will be nice cause i have only bagged one elk before, a cow two years ago. but then again im only 19. it seems like when we go up 1/2 of us tag one and i was only part of that 1/2 once. I think i am almost gureenteened to get one, this year. last year i let my step mom take the shot and that was the only opportunity we had cause we were there for only a weekend. three years ago i was out with my dads out of state friend and i let him take a small bull over me cause it was his first trip out west and it was the first day of the season.
