LAST EDITED ON Oct-13-16 AT 04:42PM (MST)[p]I had the early Rifle Boulder tag. Scouted all summer, had 5(ish) 400+ bulls on Camera. 1 was harvested on the Archery (405)... I knew of 2 other 395+ on the Archery that were killed and also know of 3 or 4 on the Rifle that were taken. I think they were on the Mtn, but early rut, combined with 5 days of full moon, and 2 days of terrible weather really hurt on my hunt.
Declining??? Maybe a bit, but Im hoping it is cyclical and not because of the amount of spike and cow tags being given. Time will tell...
