Rimrock Success
« on: November 03, 2008, 11:36:43 AM »
We filled 2 of our 3 tags. We picked one up on the  opener and nice 6 point on the  second day and had a bugling 6 point close a couple of different times in the first 3 days  but just couldn't seal the deal on him before they buried themselves in the thick timber.
