[QUOTE="MT4XFore, post: 185788, member: 4945"] DUH, I hunted late season there from the early 80's to about 2001 or 02. I started out as a foot soldier walking in, and borrowing a snow machine to drag the game out, and as I got older, weaker and wiser I started using an outfitter. They only charged $150/day for late season and getting a cow used to be fairly routine. Then in '95 they reintroduced the wolves into Yellowstone and the rest is history. I think in all I probably harvested about 15 cows during the late season hunts. I was only skunked one year. It was a fun hunt and my son and I truly enjoyed it as well as the friendship of the outfitters we grew to know. I actually did see that 500 head you were talking about over on Deckard Flats a couple of times. The thing that really blew my mind was how they will string out with a big ole cow in the lead and cover territory in single file like a big freight train. Awesone!! Thanks you for bringing that back to my memory, I need to remember those days more often. They wont be back, I'm afraid. Take care, and God Bless Jim [/QUOTE]
