I understand this is a cull and what the purpose is but it just seems wrong to me.
Depending where they are shot and how long before you gut them chances are the calf will still be alive and about the size of a smaller yellow lab...seems messed up to me.
Next question is if you were to shoot a cow do you intend to salvage the meat of the calf at all?
No you are not the only one.There was one other poster who had trouble with it,However you must realise this is a management hunt.The only goal here is to reduce the herd size,so if the cows are pregnant all the more reason to cull them now.
I see LC beat me to it.
