Title: Alkali bull tag
Post by: 6haase6 on January 02, 2024, 07:48:46 AM: Did a quick search on here and only came up with antlerless. Anybody have any past experience with the bull tag? Good, bad, or ugly? Is there a limited number of people that can help you?

We saw about a dozen raghorn bulls in a group. Around 2 to 4 years old. Not likely any true spikes, they were all the goofy spikes with kickers around the bases

Is there a restriction on people you can bring in once an animal is down?

As long as they have their Recreation card (background check and safety class). You can have as many people as you want during and after the hunt. You can go in 2 hours before light and I believe stay until 2 hours after. I know they allow more if you are working on an animal.
