Thanks for doing this - remember, a picture is worth 1,000 words (don't want your release fingers to cramp up...)
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Congrats Shane I'm glad it stuck for you! 8)  We worked hard on that bull last year that was a 160+ for Phool and he had him at 20 yards several times with no shot cause it was soooo thick :( I am hoping for better luck for ya on yours!!!  :)

Thanks guys . My goal is 170 but if  the unit just isn't holding the bull I am looking for I will have to settle for less, a bull with a wow factor is what I am looking for. Lots of scouting ahead of me 3 months, hopefully it will turn up a bull or 2 :-)

Well done Shane!!! Can't wait to follow this thread. It's always fun to follow along on some elses hunt. Makes you almost feel like you drew the tag yourself....well....maybe not but it's fun anyway  :)

Good luck,

Fulla

I am going to try to attach a photo of a friend's moose he killed last year on Mica Peak.  He came over from the west side - I showed him around a little bit and he got this one on the second day (if I remember right).
It was very foggy up there that day.

I would hope, but a 200" may not exist up there, cant kill one if they arent there, now  180 is possible, talked to a few guys who saw 160+ bulls up there in the last 2 years, my dad saw a giant 2 yrs ago in a secret honey hole  spot, I went there today and checked it out  ;)
