Basser15 Report post Posted May 26, 2015 First of all.....this was the hardest hunt I've ever had. With the extremely wet Spring that we have had on the Plateau the past couple of months the animals have not been moving off the park like I have heard they had in previous years. It was mentally frustrating, time consuming, expensive, challenging, and all worth it in the end! Thank you for all of my friends who were able to make the trip up north with me this past couple months and those who provided information and knowledge about this hunt. And good luck to the rest of the guys who are still up there giving it heck. When I left on Sunday there have only been a confirmed 7 Buffalo taken with rumor of an 8th out of the 30 tags this year, and only more week left in the season. In total I spent 21 days on the plateau and was able to take this Bull on day number 20. There are guys up there still that have spent even more days then that this season and still have yet to lay eyes on an animal. Now that I'm gone the weather should be much better and hopefully some more animals start showing up the last week. Apparently I was a curse as every weekend since April 24 as I would start driving up the weather would turn nasty and wet and the day that I left it would start to warm up. I've seen more snow this past 6 weeks then I cared to. We guessed him as a 10 year old bull. Big head and beard on this guy....I couldn't be more happy with the outcome!!! 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PatrickJr Report post Posted May 26, 2015 Bow or rifle? I have a buddy that is on his 5th trip up there and he has been able to get under 100 yards but he won't shoot that far with a bow on a buff. Idk if he is using the bow or rifle now. And congrats, how he well and cool getting him in the snow. I think every Saturday for the past 7 weeks it has snowed, so it been a tough hunt for everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basser15 Report post Posted May 26, 2015 I used a rifle for the hunt. And I camped with your friend....his bow isn't coming out of the truck anymore at this point. Bow or rifle?
