The reasoning for the majority of those late December kills was because the tag holders "settled" rather than eat the tag. Not because bigger bucks moved in that week. :twocents:

Definitely jealous, going to get to look over a lot of great animals, and hoping you find the one you want!

Congrats on the tag. I might be able to help if you haven't found anything by mid November. During the rut some interesting stuff shows up on the land I have access to. Some years better than others.

Just tagging along to see how this hunt pans out.  I have the Pogue Rifle tag this year, so if you're in that unit and see one that doesn't quite meet your standard, please let me know.   :tup:

Best of luck!

Starting to see some better bucks, have passed one shooter in the Desert, but nothing that has really got me excited, one month left, time to get lucky.
