Hell no!

Found 'em but on private posted property. Local rancher posted out back of the house. Early snow brought the herd in about 3 weeks early. Rancher took 6 cows Nov 15. Our hunt opened Dec 1. Were gone by then and haven't been back.

Either headed for the wilderness area (Stanley) next season or buy a hunt somewhere where they can guide me to the shot or at least put me in the area and I'll make my own shot.

BTW, younger brother in Butler Co. who usually gets 5-6 deer a season got flat skunked this year. First time since he was a teenager and that was 41 years ago.

Was talking to a fellow the other day who's hunt was messed up by wolves. He arrow hunts a herd of about 150 with several herd bulls and several satellite bulls. The herd bulls usually break up the herd into several canyons. The wolves kept them all together and nervous. Never got a shot. However, had wolves all around him several times. (30-40 yds) He said he felt under gunned with that sticker slinger.
