Post by: stormin85 on November 20, 2010, 12:28:32 PM: this will help get the blood pumping and make the countdown seem that much longer lol i retrieved the trail cam and here's a tase of whats in a "300's" unit.

i know the bull isn't huge, but give him, two or three years, about the time i get drawn for the unit and he will be decent then, as long as he's around......

i have heard, but haven't seen, so i can't confirm but there is a 6x7 running around there as well, again only a draw, but it's worth the wait :o

Post by: stormin85 on November 20, 2010, 08:54:29 PM: HA HA don't get me wrong if i had the bull tag for that unit i would not second guess taking him, would i like some monster bull who thinks he's king of the woods, yeah, will i take a nice looking 4x3? oh yeah, but by the time i get drawn ( fingers crossed if i ever do) for that unit hopefully he is still around and put on some size to that rack.

on top of that if i can get good pics of him and find out if he is a resident bull having some history with him would be absolutely awesome, but thats how hunting goes, he may not be around next year, i'm praying he is, and/or for the following one!!!!!!!

Title: Re: The Countdown
Post by: stormin85 on November 22, 2010, 08:33:43 AM: Here you go trav, i heard this is running around up there, right in that field where that ONE turkey came in the last night of our hunt, you know the one you scared off?

Just to clarify this is not a pic i took, i found it on the net.

But i wish i did.

Post by: trophytaker on November 22, 2010, 07:10:07 PM: Travis we have hijacked your forum and it is now about the 300's units. By the way its snowing down here in Buckley I would have to assume there is about 13,000 feet of snow up there by now. I cant wait to shoot that cow that is standing on my blind
