Unit 76 Sept 30 pics

[rocketman]

I didnt think the rut could get more intense
but it has. At the peak in the AM and PM 100
bugles/minute and 1000+ /hour. Fights are almost
common and very intense. Little bluffing now.
Wallowing very strong and no bull likes any other
bull. There are no male buddies now. The wallows
in the pics are a place where fights are the norm.
Again got into basin 4 at 2pm and they were going
crazy in the timber. There is no quiet time now.
Had 150 with 20? bulls at camp Mon night and all
night there was not 1 min without bugles. These
bulls do get exhausted from the rut. Weather change
right now with snow today and tomorrow in the mts.

Makes me homesick.




Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?
