If you want 300 class bulls look to the Loowit, Margret will have maybe one. I would love to go, maybe do some bear hunting while we are at it. Would be great if we could get bucklucky to go. Let me know.

I would be up for going, it just depends on when? I have 2 bear hunters in august. I hear the backcountry of the margaret holds some dandy bulls. I just don't think many people hunt it cause 1. they don't have to go deep to shoot a branched bull, 2. they may not have the equipment to go deep (horses, mules, ect..).

I'm sure there are some 300's up there, but you'll have to spend allot of time and go deep to see oneYES ONE. Not 3 or 4 !!! Its always fun to glass elk, no matter how large or small.

Ok,let me get this straight,I am supposed to meet you and take you to a 300 class bull so you can find out where he lives and go back during season and tag him? It sounds like a win,win situation for you

I think the few near 300 class bulls in the area and the time I spent finding bigger bulls is what I have to loose,I'll pass :chuckle:Good luck though!

bucklucky · « **Reply #10 on:** June 27, 2009, 09:41:35 PM »

Well were on the westside subject though, lets keep the eastside out of this

heavy hauler · « **Reply #11 on:** June 27, 2009, 09:44:16 PM »

well obviously the quality is not what it once was, but if you are patient and waid through all the 5 points and cheater 6 pointers there is still some big uns.

bucklucky · « **Reply #12 on:** June 27, 2009, 09:46:57 PM »
