I feel very fortunate to get this great tag in our state and I am soo excited for this hunt.  Hopefully persistence, hard work, and determination will beat too many hunts.

Thanks a lot for the offer.  That would be awesome and hopefully I will be up there around that time to scout.  Its going to be hard with work this year to get many scouting trips but was hoping to get one in late August and another mid September and then if I get lucky more.  I would love to see the pic you have if you are interested in sharing.

My buddy had a muzzleloader deer tag and we have some spots to check out of the wilderness we saw some good bulls last year but I have heard that the wilderness also holds some incredible bulls and wanted to definitely put some boot leather in there.  Especially since its only a couple miles in and I am already geared up for it.

he just moved in to the area arround my cam. i got pics of this same bull up to hunting season last year. I think i was able to locate him during september and he had 6-7 cows and a rag 2 point with him.i cant be posative it was him, but it was fairly close to the cam location and it looked like him.

 he has come into my cam location 5 times in the last 2 weeks, a couple days he stopped in more then once. his bed is about 1/2 mi from my cam.

Great looking bull. Worthy of that tag. I hope he finishes his tops like he did his bottoms!

Ill keep you informed as best I can. The big boys mean little to me. I scout that area like crazy. I've seen better bulls in that GMU. The natives take quite a few so its hard to know what made it through last season.

And of course we all know once that rut hits you gotta locate them all over again.

That bull's about done growing. That pic was taken 3 days ago right?
Awesome bull.

The natives were in there at tthe end of December hunting in the snow. Booo.... We saw them driving around during my deer hunt.
: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

Thanks, I was there last year when my buddy drew the buck muzzleloader tag at the end of September and saw some good bulls too. I had no reason to wear hunter orange during that season but after meeting the natives bragging about wounding deer and elk at 600-1000 yards after a couple cases I have never been so "pumkined up". They had a couple nice elk in camp 6's and one about 340 but said they shot a 413 "rafter bull" in lick creek.

Thanks for the heads up. When we were there last year they told us to be on the lookout for that because there were a lot of them. It's a good idea any more to bring a sidearm with you whenever you hit the woods just in case.
