Hey guys,
Not sure if this info is any good but I had the muzzy tag in "10" and what was said is true. The bulls with the cows, bugling their heads off, were NOT the top line bulls.
The very best bulls were on top (I screwed up my stalk).
Last year I had the late deer tag. I saw a couple of great bulls in the Muleshoes. They were migrating.
After 2 hunts, and over 4 weeks in the unit I believe some of the bulls migrate out, the others stay HIGH.
I saw 330+ bulls crossing the highway Nov 4-6. The best bull I saw in the Muleshoes was bedded in a snow bank with 40 mph winds and pretty cold. But there is no doubt he was moving after dark towards 231.
So my choises are, hike to the top of Grafton everyday, or glass the Muleshoes every morning, then make your stalk if you see HIM.
Hoping my buddy draws this tag soon. He has 14 NR PPs. Then we'll decide.
