Moo cows

[olddogrib]

Ah, reminds me of Bear Claw Chris Lapp's famous quote "elk don't know how many legs a horse has"!  But if you pull off a "cow decoy" stalk you better have video or nobody here's going to believe it!

"They won't bother you if you don't bother them", the farmer said.  Apparently, my box turkey call bothered them. Especially a couple that had calves with them. The neat thing about turkey hunting is you don't have to climb trees, unless a hostile cow is trying to knock you down. Here in Iowa, I have heard lots of talk over those western cattle that get shipped in. I have always wondered if they are just ornery when they get here, or do they have an attitude problem out west as well.

Elk will feed close to cattle but cattle will dominate water holes and keep the elk away. I just try not to spook the cattle as I move through an area.

Too bad the federal government encourages federal lands to be flooded with livestock by giving ranchers a sweetheart deal by charging far less per head of livestock than they would pay to range them on private ground.

Time to break out the "Holstein Extreme" camo and join the herd!  Mr. or Ms. Elk will never know what hit 'em!
