Just curious, would you have put in for this tag if there were more than 2 options for Eastside ML Bull?

was just checking since tag odds were 1 in 6.5 in 09 and I imagine it was much more difficult this year being that there were only two options.

I found a couple of spots out there last year that had bulls in them, just not while I was there. even found a wallow in the middle of a bare desert. Let me know if you want a little help on a scouting trip. It's less than 5 min from my door.

The other thing is the pressure from the surrounding private land. The opposite is true - nothing today and they can be pushed off of the private land to the Training Center tomorrow.

My advice is to spend as much time as possible and glass constantly/

Good luck
Shoot straight - Shoot often!
