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?
That's the point of this hunt....take a cow that has an unborn calf, the 250 tags per season could mean a reduction of 500 elk best case scenario per season.

I sure wouldn't salvage the calf if she had one.....you know what "balut" is?
