Post by: WoolyRunner on October 21, 2018, 06:41:23 PM: Youre driving a new red f150 with WA plates. Parked along US 64. Did you get into em? We have seen 3 bulls. All small. Let me know.

Thanks

I had that tag a few years ago. Depends on your definition of "decent". We saw a handful of 5 and 6 points, but nothing over 300".

My recommendation...get there ahead of time and be prepared to pull the trigger on the first day. The rut was still trickling along on the opener for us (about October 8 or 9), but then we had a cold snap and a few snow flakes and that was it. All the bulls went into their deep, dark hiding places to recover. I spent the last few days trying to find solo bulls in the timber, that was not fun.
