Big questions you have to ask is what do you want out of the hunt?  Do you want an adventure with the chance at A bull?  Do you want to hunt the rut or late season bulls?  Is A bull acceptable or are you looking for something a bit more exceptional?
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

Im looking for a good experience that won't physically break me in pieces and would like to shoot a decent bull. Id shoot a rag horn on the last day but won't be holding out for a masher. Once I hear the whisper thats a good, decent, or shooter im sending it.
