Wish I knew something about it, hopefully someone will chime in with some pointers. Jason is a good guy and has been on here for a long time.

Had a good hunt, we were on bulls everyday. I was chasing a specific bull and the closest I could get to him was 86 yds one morning. He had a distinct growling bugle so when he sounded off we knew it was him. Finally on the morning of the 11th day of the hunt, we were after him then he went quiet. We were in the area he was just walking around cause I thought he was gone then all of a sudden we hear a bull make a noise in his bed. I hike down a little bit and get setup, my buddy and his son hang back and start calling, cows first then a bull. The lead cow is now 8 yds from me just staring right through me, the bull is 18 yds behind 2 burnt tree stumps covering his vitals. Its not the same bull im after but this bull is in my lap and im done at this point chasing a certain bull. Im stuck not being able to move, the bull starts coming closer but I cant draw with the cow so close to me. Finally cow looks other direction, I draw, start squeezing release and the cow starts to bust out as im squeezing, bull does some matrix move as I release. Arrow is in flight as I see the bull moving, arrow connects but a absolutely terrible shot. I see my arrow in the bulls neck. Im thinking this is so terrible. He goes maybe 20 yds and blood is just pouring out of him, at that moment, im thinking that bull is a dead bull walking. The herd settles down and the bull is now 40 yds standing broadside just pouring blood still. I take another shot at the bull, probably didnt need it but a bull still standing is still a live bull. I hit a little high and they bust out. My buddy and his son work down to me, they dont know what happen. I tell them I made a terrible shot but there is blood everywhere. We give the bull an hour then the easy tracking job started, looked like someone was just pouring out red paint on the hillside. Bull went 80 yds and piled up in the bottom of the canyon. The bull was broke and I knew his top end was broke but not his second on one side. We had passed this bull 4 or 5 times during the hunt cause he was broke.

Exactly! In Young somewhere, I think.

I could give you a few who NOT to use

I dont even see those hunts for the spring listed in Gohunt anywhere. Probably max whatever that is, only 1 tag each hunt.

Q1 since im assuming he has a hunter ed point. 3 species point and a point for app? 5 random numbers for draw?

Would he go in with 5 since he has hunter safety point?

Bull is coming to water today

A couple more sleeps

Been up there a couple times over the last month or so, a lot of feed on the ground for sure and seems like they have had some decent monsoons this yr.

I have the early archery hunt up there next week. Cant wait, hopefully its a good rut this yr.

Congrats! Spot and Stalk archery antelope is not an easy feat. Great write up

Congrats man, Nice buck.

I dont mind the quota. Without it and without mandatory reporting, nobody knew how many deer were being taken. Unit 1 and 27 closed after the first week last yr as well. Everyone for the most part is road hunting and smashing the first legal buck they see. Im sure it was the same way before the quota.

I have a pair of GPO 8’s if you are interested.

Sorry I was talking about the Raymond Ranch

I think they just killed the super raffle bison there. Just what I had heard anyway.

Not yet, I have a while before I qualify. lol

Just got a glimpse of a bachelor herd of bulls this weekend in my elk unit. The landscape looks good though, tons of tall green grass and every tank we checked had good amounts of water. Hopefully makes for a good rut. Cows are all looking healthy and fat.

I listen to podcasts on my phone, therefore it could by construed as a listening device. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What is a listening device? I would think phones or radios correct?

A pioneer license for one horned rams is cool.

Do you do euros with the real velvet Adam?
