Title: Big Bull Help
Post by: Jimmy33 on November 02, 2013, 01:28:16 PM: I live in the unit and have been having a hard time finding a bull for my Dad. I already shot mine. He has the Observatory bull permit. He has never shot a big bull (only one spike). Any sightings? We have hunted every day but yesterday...he only has 2 days left...anything would help. We have been in Lost Lake, Tamarack Springs area, rattlesnake, Whiskey Flats...all over really.
