Pretty sure they wanted to kill a clean typical over 400" last year and they passed non-typicals that were big big.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

No tag for me, I was outbid. :chuckle:
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Makes sense. That pennsylvania bull is way bigger and doesnt even have broken points like the WA one.  :chuckle:

The Pennsylvania bull did loose some inches from the rut on broken point tips. But although he doesn't have points broke off he isn't breathing anymore either.  :dunno:
Take your kids into the outdoors. They are our future. Support conservation by joining and participating in future through NRA, SCI, RMEF, Wild Sheep or any of the other great organizations.
