With a Unit 76 archery tag in my pocket and 2.5 weeks to go that's a little too much................... Thanks Roy!
Roy what will the top 20% of the bulls score from this unit?
I'll be likely hunting the Pole Mtn area.
Thanks,
Dave

Out of 100 branched bulls, 5 over 300 with 325 most
likely; 5-10 in the 280-295 class. Yesterday the bulls
still running together, all still white antlers, lots
of playfull sparing, no bugles, lots of rubbing
on willow bushes.Very wet still with strong monsoon flow.
Very very green. Roy

looks like a nice herd, What dates do they start bugling in your area, Hope the stick slingers have a great season.
