Looks like some of the same turf I hunt in the Desolation Unit.  Good Work.

Sorry to let you down Dan-o,  :dunno:
I will be hunting WA for the first time this year, and was hoping you could help me out, let me know a nice wallow to sit on!   :)  Names of roads are nice, but i prefer GPS coordinates!   :IBCOOL:

Thanks Everyone, looking forward to sharing in all your successes this year as well.

Is it just me, or did Orbowhunter commit a serious breach of forum ettiqutte with this post?????     :dunno:

I can't believe nobody jumped on you sooner....   This is way worse than posting a pic of a nate out of the water.

Don't you know that for a first post on this forum, you're supposed to start with something simple like:   

"Hey, I don't want your honey hole, but which forest service road would you drive up in the Little Natches, and how far up would you stop to hunt and which side of the road would you hunt?"

P.S.    That is an awesome bull.   The pics are great, but they're always so much better with a good write-up like yours.   thanks so much for sharing.
"I am a hunter. The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. I do not hunt in order to kill, but kill to have hunted. I hunt because I am a hunter".- Finn Aagard

I do love those dark antlers.

Personally, I hunt muzzleloader.....   I'm not not patient/confident enough to hunt with a bow.

Man, getting it with a bow makes it an awesome trophy X 10.

I love the BFRO!!!
I wonder how many people will touch their nose to their screen trying to read this...

Way to get my blood boiling :tup:. Great story and bull.
If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

Awesome, and people say that isn't a good kill shot.   Looks like it did the job!
