They are definitely rutting. He was with a cow and there are scrapes all over. The weather has been too nice and they are still sticking to the thick cool stuff. I think that will change this weekend when the cool weather moves in. Nobody I’ve talked to has been seeing much of anything. Feel very fortunate this guy gave me a second chance.\
Awesome! Yeah we heard some of the same, not a lot of movement yet. Glad to see some cooler weather in the forecast and to hear they're rutting hard. Cant wait to get over there. Congrats again on a beautiful bull.

Awesome bull. I’m sure you passed him the first day because you wanted your epic hunt to be Longer. He’s a dandy glad you didn’t wait any longer because I’m sure the next guy to see him would not have taken a second look

I had about 15 different places lined up I wanted to call/hunt but had a particular area I was going to concentrate on. Opening moring we hit my #1 area and called from a couple different locations, had one grunt at me but didn't see anything. On the way out at 1030 in the morning we round a corner and this guy is standing broadside, uphill, 82yds away. We watched him for 15 minutes as I went back and forth of should I shoot? But I'm not ready to shoot. But, he's a nice bull. But, he's the first one I've seen. But, he looks really good. But, I don't want to yet. Then why did you even pack your gun. But, it would be an easy pack. Maybe there's a bigger one. But, damn he's a nice looking bull. Finally he walked up and off over a small ridge settling the interal turmoil.
We went back to camp and looked at the pictures we had taken and came to the conclusion maybe I had made a mistake, the weather was warming up, things were probably going to slow down a bit until cooler weather came in and what were the odds I would find him again.
Next morning we made a plan for the days hunt. On the way up as we passed by where we had seen him the day before I stopped and told my partner that there was a little meadow behind the ridge he went over and maybe we should give that a quick call first.
Walked into that meadow and there's two cows feeding. Heard a crunch in the timber and I'll be damned if the same bull (I could tell since I watched those fronts for 15 minutes the day before) doesn't step out in front of me. Not much of a story after that. He walked away straight away from me to about 120yds out. I gave a grunt and he turned enough to to get a quartering away shot. Put one between his last two ribs right up through his lungs and down he went.Then the work started. What could have been 82yds downhill turned into 600yds of thick and nasty.
