Blues Bull 2012
« on: November 06, 2012, 09:11:38 PM »
Had a great 10 days in the blues, saw some dandy bulls in some beautiful country, Ended up shooting this 6x7 on the second to last day of my hunt.  Almost got an opportunity at a true Giant but just couldn't close the deal.  Had a great time and specail thanks to Mtncook for packing us in.  Mtncook really did a great job.   I would also like to thank the Biologist for the area, Paul Wick for his time and eagerness to answer all my questions.

  That was a good hunt for you Matt.  It pays to persevere as you learned.  Many hunters that draw this tag have the idea that it is going to be easy.  Just step out of camp and spot a nice bull and the hunt is over.  That is not the case here.  It is rough country and the animals can be hard to find.  We had a very good season Tagging 8 for 11 Quality tags.  The 3 hunters that kept their tags were all from the same camp and only had 5 days to hunt.
