For some of us, it was. I have several ranchers who would let me go take a doe or small buck to fill the freezer. I had one who gave me permission and I went down but didnt have any luck in the morning. On the way out, the gate was sagging, so i was fixing it when he pulled up. He said he had been meaning to fix it for the past couple years. I still have permission 15 years later.

Now that antelope and WT tags are up, I havent been putting in for them. The tag price makes it almost $1 a pound before going out. Im too invested in elk not to apply.

Pretty much.. By the time I ever get an elk I’ll probably be in at $50/lb. lol

I was doing pretty good getting a cow just about every season until about 5 years ago. Now I might get 1 chance for about 10 seconds or less in the entire season. We were getting 1 cow to last 2-3 years, but now my kids are getting older and crave meat. My freezer is currently empty for the first time in years. My kids bailed me out 2 years ago, but at the rate I’m going now, I might as well get a whole Wagyu cow ��
