Margret Archery Bull Expectations

[Huntbear]

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? 

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..

Well said sir. I agree 100%  made the trip a lot last year.

[Ghost Hunter]

Well said sir. I agree 100%  made the trip a lot last year.

  And sometimes it takes a lesson in humility to get the fool under control.  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.

Earlier somebody challenged a picture of one of these Margeret Mashers be posted proving they are there.  Hmmm, haven't seen one yet killed? 

[gotcha]

Doesn't mean they haven't.   

[Mudman]

Doesn't mean they haven't. 

Very true.  Sure there are a few left.  Probably chewing on the Noble boughs at the richmans elk/tree farm.

Well mudman, the biggest margaret bull ive ever seen killed, a guy from tenino got it so not sure where you been..

Ok so Ive decided I'm going to kill the biggest bull in the Unit and I'll post picks for all to see. screw the 260-280 bulls, its 320+ all the way now. I'm going to go empty handed come seasons end, but hell someone needs to show some proof big ones exist right?

[sirmissalot]

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.

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...    if you see a dandy 280ish dark horned 6x i would prolly letR fly tho....    Kill the biggest one in there tho hell ya!.... Good luck
