Joe Watt feeding station
« on: January 05, 2023, 10:36:30 AM »
Stopped in on our way back west on 1/3 to see if they moved in. There were probably a 100 or so concentrated near the hay shed and some others out and about...but not a single antler. Do the bulls not come in with the cows? It sure seems early for them to have dropped antlers already.

I’ve seen bulls there into March, so they must have just been out of sight.

I'm sure they are there. 

Probably around the corner and out of sight

Thorp Cemetery Road and continue for 3.0 miles. Take a slight left onto Watt Canyon Road and follow this for just over a mile before arriving at a large gravel parking lot on the left-hand side.

Watch for nails in the parking area
Sledding folks used to burn pallets up there
Don’t know if they still do but hell it could be a homeless camp now for all I know

Used to feed them alfalfa. Not sure now...
 Back in the day I would spend my winter's feeding them goofy things. Bulls would grab grass right out of your hand. You could literally pet them.
