My dad turned 69 last month. He's been chasing an Early Rifle Bull hunt for 18 years and he's decided he'd better draw a tag before he's too old to get around. So, he's jumping ship for a sure thing this year. He's got 18 points and we have a few hunts we think would be good. One concern I have is what road access looks like for some of them. He's good to hike a few miles round trip, but knee replacements aren't much fun after that.
Here's a few hunts he is considering:
Early Rifle- Fishlake
Early Rifle- Diamond Mtn
Early Rifle- La Sal, La Sal
Early Rifle- Wasatch
There's about 8 decent Muzzy hunts he could draw with 18 points that seem to "be worth his points", we're probably most interested in the Book Cliffs muzzy as we know the unit due to many years of deer hunting there... One thing though, my dad will only shoot his .54 Hawkin. Its Jeremiah Johnson or bust for him if he's using a muzzy.
I'd love to just hear some thoughts on different hunts that he'd have a chance at a good bull. PM me if you'd like. I know there's tons of you with solid opinions... Thanks guys.!
