If I was you, I would tear up that tag and throw it in the garbage. You are way too old for this kind of hunt!

Epic opportunity. I hope you have a couple great pals go help.

Good luck

You have a great tag and I wouldn't shoot anything smaller than a 350'' bull, better yet, have Karl or Coach go with you!!





Back on track!!    :chuckle:

Also, there is a ton of pressure with quality tags like this one, and only a very short time to get it done!  I’d take 4-5 days off before the hunt and scout, call bulls in the area till you see your goal.  Hopefully he doesn’t get shot out from under you.

Yes he’s been over multiple times this summer to scout.

Well I’m not sure he is willing to share what he’s been seeing, like trophyhunt said he might have a bull shot right out from under him and sold for jerky   :bash:

That is a risk regardless and we aren't, at least I am not, curious about specifics just generality

The feed in there this year is phenomenal. If there was a year to have this tag, this is it. Treat it like the once in a lifetime opportunity it is. Don't shoot unless the bull has the wow factor, if you don't trust yourself then have someone who knows elk tag along. We're seeing some incredible bulls. Good luck, I hope you share the hunt with us.

Well I know he’s been in contact with multiple forum members, myself included, and I can’t speak for him as it’s not my place to. Maybe he hasn’t been logging in and checking this thread. :dunno: This tag can put a lot of pressure on a guy though. Even last year when I was on this same hunt with the tag holder, Ron, he was very relieved after shooting his bull. As if weights were lifted from his shoulders and I’m not saying it was relief for satisfying forum members but, just in general a guy can get stress and pressure because of the tag he’s holding in his pocket knowing it’s a one time thing.

AWESOME TAG!  Congrats. :tup: :tup:
My brother drew this tag a few years back (link below) Bulls bugling EVERYWHERE! Find the one you want. Take a few buddies buddies with you, it's absolutely insane and hardly anyone around. They can video then help pack.
