Thank you for the offer. That's very kind of you. I'm not looking for places to hunt or anything like that, but again, that's a very generous offer. I just like to see pictures and hear stories about hunters' experiences. Did you harvest a bull? Do you mind sharing pictures and a story?

PM Leftturn he can give you some ideas. We took his dad out on that hunt several years ago, but he took a decent bull. Ended up in Trophy Hunter magazine with the story.

My father and I drew that tag in 2010 with a guide. It was very windy and they were not bugling at all and the moon was full.
We both shot smaller bulls later in the hunt. I spent 3 days trying to figure out how to get on an estimated 370 but there was no approach to the ridge he was on.
We sat water where we'd seen a bull before in the afternoon, and had a bear come in to water. My bull came in and they had a stand off. If I had a bear tag it would have been quite a double. As it was the bear nearly tried to walk right over us and I shot my bull with a bear about 8 yards from me. Not the biggest bull but a trophy story to be sure.
We stayed near Collins park because they had a hunter in C also - I would stay north and east of there if I went again.
