sidwynder505 Report post Posted August 3, 2022 Wife drew a 4B north limited opportunity Bull tag by accident...well it was my fault punched in the wrong numbers...and nope I didn't buy a point gard....so we made the best of it, ...first time I ever been in that northern part of the unit...looked kinda grim at first!..and with the 2pm thunderstorms moving in every day we were limited to hunt the mornings, and only one evening that was clear we where forced back to Holbrook with a hole in the rear tire. But as luck would have it we found a little pocket that had a group of bachelor Bulls hanging in it tight, with one good 6x6 with the bunch..so we stalked them for a couple of days unit my wife got a clear shot...its real brushy in those little draws...but she finally got a shot on the last day we could hunt!..and she dropped her Bull it wasn't the big Bull!..but like she said it was Big enough ! Congratulations to my wonderful hunting buddy!..my wife! 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
