Title: Big bull observatory
Post by: jstone on July 04, 2018, 02:03:20 PM: Just a quick question. Is the frost meadows area packed with hunters during archery season? I know a guy who hunted it bull muzzy and did good but there where others in there. Waist of time scouting or not.

Of course our record books only show those who share and there is always a bunch of great animals never entered. Killed him on Oct 2 and they were bugling and screaming. I think Taneum was included back then?
