A landowner that allows a certain number of hunters on their property can already get a cow tag.

I have never heard anything like that. I do know when my Daughter, and Son and myself had Elk tags out west. The only landowner that would let us hunt. Was a landowner that wouldn't take a gratis tags. He said if he wants a Elk he will just shoot one. I have never seen such greedy landowners as them out West. It was the samething every year. When we get are Elk we will let you on. They never let anyone on.

Only way I would apply for one of these leftover cow tags is if it didn’t count as your once in a lifetime tag . But who knows I’m sure they’ll find a clever way to complicate it

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if we will ever get to the point where a cow tag does not count as your once in a lifetime. My wife had a cow tag last year that she unfortunately didn't fill. The rancher who's land we hunted on told us G&F is looking at this and he heard they are discussing that if you draw a cow tag, you can put in again after 5 years or something like that.

I think I’d be ok with that . Especially if unsuccessful. What unit did she have the tag in

Gotta acknowledge its a good sign we are having this discussion about cow permits. It means elk hunting/opportunity in the state has never been better. I was not confident that we would end up here during the TR elk reduction, but here we are.

Yep the only problem , is that with more elk comes more greed = less access . More gratis elk and less access imo

I propose that North Dakota's leftover cow elk tags be placed back into a general lottery, open to all applicants. This should include hunters who have already drawn an elk tag in the past. These leftover tags should not count toward the 'once-in-a-lifetime' restrictions.

That’s how it works down here

The only problem with this is that once you draw a tag you can't re-apply. So ounce left over tags are determined, you would have to open up another application process so that those that have already drawn can also apply. This just seems like a lot of extra work instead of just drawing from the remainder of people that already have an app in. I do agree that this shouldn't be counted toward your once in a lifetime.

Its not that hard most states have a left over tag draw. At that point any one should be able to apply

Will be interesting for sure

I think someone on here nailed it on the head already. No way these extra tags would be given to anyone other than landowners as deprivation tags or something. I also wouldn't mind seeing them go to some local organizations to auction or raffle off. I know they're just cow tags but I would buy a handful of raffle tickets for a chance to shoot a cow elk and not count toward my once in a lifetime.

That’s a good idea. I just have suspicions whatever they decide will be something that doesn’t make sense

Iffn I don't draw again this year for the 35th time, I might just go for a cow tag, as I am not getting any younger and fitter.

I also have a certain age point where I'm just going to go for cow tags and fill the freezer. I am thinking somewhere between 55 and 60.

31 years in with a big ol' unsuccessful. I hope it won't be 32. I said at 40 I will be applying for a cow/calf tag.
