Cow for a 12 year old?

Postby Jcberg26 » 11 05, 2014 •  [Post 1]

Hey guys,

My buddy and I went 2 for 2 again this year in the same spot in Montana and had an awesome year! My 12 year old son wants to shoot an elk in the worst way but where we go it is just too much work to get him in there (dirt bikes 5 miles on a goat trail, hiking straight up from there, and sleeping in a Sawtooth for 6 nights). Does anyone have a direction to point me to a rancher in Montana that would let a kid get a crack at a cow or is this a tough thing to find? Again, I'm NOT looking for a spot for myself because I have a good one already, I just want him to get an opportunity at a cow where it remains fun for him. I know these posts are always kind of a touchy subject but it's for a 12 year old future elk nut so I thought it would be ok to ask for help on this one.

Thanks for any help :) !

Thanks Paul!

I wish I hunted in an easier spot to access so I could get him in there hahaa! I've learned a ton on this site thanks to you and all the great members. I would probably be eating "tag soup" if it wasn't for this forum. Thanks again!

Oh man! I found TWO!

I'll pm you from home if you are still interested. The kid will need to clear a minor draw system.
