Bachelor bulls

[kzkammo]

First year hunting in Idaho, I have a question about bachelor group Bulls. I found a group of 4 big Bulls sparing together yesterday. How long do they usually stick together? They all hit the same wallow as well. Will they continue to use that wallow once they split up for the rut?
Thanks

I'd bet against them( if they're big) sticking together much longer. Big Bulls won't hang with other big Bulls as breeding season approaches imo

Can't answer that one, maybe but probably not imo. Depends a lot on the available other water sources.

My experience is, once they start to split up all bets are off on their summer movement patterns. Some may continue to frequent the wallow, but maybe not. Cross your fingers and best of luck!
