Should I have notched the tag on this boy.   I'm thinking I should have.

 :yeah:  I sure wouldn't have to think about it but from your other photos you(not me ever) will get more chances.

Nice pic btw.

Gorgeous bull! Great pic too, but only you know when your ready to fill the tag. Obviously a shooter to us westsiders. You got a nice shot with your camera!

Nice picture Bone! He's got great backs. Definitely a shooter up there just because of the lack of elk a guy sees because of how thick it is up there. There are some bigger bulls in that NE corner but that's a good looking P&Y bull.

I would have had a hard time letting him walk. I saw one fairly close to that this weekend and wished I had a bull tag

Having to ask shows me you are way too spoiled seeing (and photographing) all of those big deer.   :chuckle:  I'd shoot that one first day on a guided hunt!!  Love those long backscratchers.

Pardon me, what was question? I couldn't hear you over the gunshots... :chuckle:
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me

I may not have alot but what I have I got honest.....

Is it me, or are people getting dumber
