Title: Qualitybull tag ?
Post by: LOVEMYLABXS on July 05, 2014, 08:45:28 AM: Just wondering how small bull would you take? I want to think I could hold off for a nice one but man ELK MEAT in the freezer is elk meat in the freezer.

But when we got there for season I lost all the bulls I had on my cams and couldn't find where they went so I was ready to shoot anything that had good bone on his head.

I have waited for 7 years for a tag and I intend to do it justice. I also have the multi tag so there isn't as much pressure. I would be happy with a westside bull, or a cow in ew in the late season. :twocents:

It was the first bull I saw but we drew the Manson deer tag in the same time frame so we had to drop the first 2 bulls we found in order to get over to Manson and hunt. Two bulls and two bucks in 5 days hunting; no regrets. I'm holding out this year for a bigger bull as I'm due and I'm sure my partner is also.
