[QUOTE="Yotkilr, post: 198299, member: 405"] I'm going over the idea of trying to get my grandpa a ND Cow elk tag and was looking for some input how possible it would be to get him on some cows. He will be 90 years old by next season and has never hunted elk before but always talks about wanting to go where i go out in western Montana, but i know he is definitely not in shape to go where i have gone. I took him on a antelope hunt a few years ago and he had an absolute blast and still talks about it all the time even tho we had bad weather and we were only able to get him on a doe. Like i said hes not in the greatest shape so i know he wont be able to Walk in very far at all but i have horses i can get him on so he could ride in a few miles hopefully. What is kind of the odds of drawing a cow Tag in most of the units I know way better then a bull but is it still not great odds? I guess most of my questions are kind of tips on what unit would be best to try get him a cow tag in that has good numbers with somewhat easy access and decent odds of drawing a tag? like said i do have horses to get him a little ways in from the road. Also I've only ever hunted elk in the rut with a bow so whats the best was to hunt cows during rifle season? thanks for the advise. [/QUOTE]
