:yeah: it will only get better. We saw 7 or 8 bulls up there last year during the late muzzy whitetail hunt last year in less than a square mile area.

Post by: Elkbow33 on October 29, 2013, 09:21:39 AM: Saw a few cows and passed on a couple small bulls! I know any bull is a good bull but I have a minimum in mind and I'm sticking to it. If someone wants to shoot a small bull that is their decision and if it makes them happy that is great. As for me I have taken and guided lots of animals so I have a certain size in mind for my once in a lifetime hunt and if it doesn't happen I'll go home knowing I tried my best. On that note I would hate to be a cow or calf next to the road on the last day!!lol!

Post by: huntnnw on October 30, 2013, 06:35:47 AM: I had a buddy helping a friend out in 113 this years they hunted 12 days....Never saw a mature bull and an alarming observation is they never saw a calf during the whole hunt and heard wolves everyday!! He ended up shooting a smallish bull.

It wont be long before we see tag reductions :bash:

Post by: Elkbow33 on October 30, 2013, 09:13:28 AM: The first week I only saw one cow and had encounters with numerous bulls. The problem is I would get them in close and it was so thick I couldn't see them. The next few trips I saw nothing but cows and calves pairs (20 or so pairs)until this last trip I saw a couple bulls. Prob. Because leaves are starting to disappear! Saw lots of fresh sign in most places I've been! Frustrating knowing they are close but you just can't see em'!
