You should see some good ones!! I definetly wouldnt shoot anything less then a mature 6x6!

Have you ever been in the Margaret unit
- A time or 2 there bud.. grew up hunting this unit..Biggest Bull I ever seen in it was last year right in the same spot I seen a masher 2years prior.. Nope no 6points in the margaret, or 8points for that matter ;)

Not doubting any of that. Question is,  if there are all these monster bulls in the Margaret, why are they so seldom killed?  :dunno:

Because guys are not willing to hike in 4-5 miles from the road, and be willing to pass on all those "Big 5s" in there..  If you go up the Hunters Trail, it is steep and rough, and most guys do not want to keep going back in there to find the big ones.  If you get a big boy down back in there, it is several trips in and out with meat, and coming out after dark is a fools mission..
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

:yeah:  And sometimes it takes a lesson in humility to get the fool under control.  :rolleyes: Got to the extreme of your capabilites and you will have your trophy.  After several trips via the Hunters trail, I settled for less than what my original intentions were.

I'll be up there several times throughout summer and fall, will keep an eye out for an elusive 6 point or better bull and will try to take pics.

That's the spirit, go get em.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Big one's Yes, but not like the early 90's...  6x6 the first week chocolate horned frosted tips, see what you see for size 2nd week you should have a good idea what to expect for size... But hell ya hold out for a masher, there in there.. I remember back in the day if you drew Margret it was the $hit, not so much anymore but there still some shreks in there...  :rockin:  if you see a dandy 280ish dark horned 6x i would prolly letR fly tho....  :tup:  Kill the biggest one in there tho hell ya!.... Good luck
Their going down!!!
