I understand this is a cull and what the purpose is but it just seems wrong to me.
Depending where they are shot and how long before you gut them chances are the calf will still be alive and about the size of a smaller yellow lab...seems messed up to me.
Next question is if you were to shoot a cow do you intend to salvage the meat of the calf at all?
Gutless method oughtta save some heartache....

Salvage the meat?...come one man! This hunt is only taking place 2-3 weeks after the ending of the "normal" late season cow elk hunts that occur throughout many WMUs. Herd reduction is the name of the game and I am happy that lisence purchasing hunters are being used as a management tool.
