Title: Dayton 2015 quality bull hunt
Post by: hookem on November 03, 2015, 04:42:19 PM: I am new to the site but have followed for a few years. This year after 14 years of putting in I drew the Dayton quality bull tag! I must say I had a quality hunt. I spent 13 days including scouting and help from some friends in the unit. From opening day till the day I harvested I passed on 8 bulls all 6 point or better. I hunted hard and was able the harvest this amazing bull!

Post by: hookem on November 04, 2015, 04:33:55 PM: here are some of the bulls I passed. we pretty much seen bulls each day except on sat the 30th. I was raining and blowing 30 all day. I hunted in the Umatilla nation forest and in the same canyon all 7 days. All of the bulls I seen where different bulls each day. they were living in the deepest,steepest,creek bottoms and were almost impossible to get them out!
