Hills should be turning white up high, makes it a lot easier to spot them.
Take a break and refocus, the bulls are there, this is an OIL, don't blow it. My first trip over I did not tag out, passed on some, came back at the end of October, rut was still going on, leaves were off, saw bigger bulls and killed a dandy. Lots of time still.
I'm surely not giving up, just getting very discouraged. I was told by an outfitter in the area that the rut was all but over so it's only going to get harder. So that just shoved more doubt in my head.
