Hunted it last year on my brothers archery tag. He stuck a pretty good bull and we searched for about 4 days to end the hunt and never found him. He drew the same tag again this year so hopefully he can make it happen this time. I really like the transition areas but we spent most of our time in the pines last year.

No luck here! I really Wanted that 5A November archery bull tag.

Heard a few gobbles saturday and sunday morning. Seemed like all the birds we heard only responded once to an owl call early. Nothing would answer a gobble or a hen call. and we seen 2 lone hens and one lone gobbler. We did drive up on one gobbler strutting next to the road with 5-6 hens while changing spots. Not sure why he wouldn't of answered when I had just let out a hen call about 200 yards down the road before we seen him.

Can't say this is my favorite ATL but it is the first ATL shot I have taken. Lol

Interesting! I was a little suspicious of it just being a wind gust.

Thought this was pretty cool!

I won't put ANY stickers on my truck because there is always going to be someone that disagrees and I don't want to attract any unwanted vandalism. Yes, I know we'll all give them what's coming "IF" we catch them. But I have learned they're all cowards and will typically make sure to do it when no one is around.

I hunted it two years in a row on the archery hunt in 2009 and 2010. I had a blast and got into a ton of bulls. If either of them haven't taken a bull with a bow before I would shoot for anything over 300. You can find some studs in there if you put the time in and find them though.

Same Here!

My favorite unit! Good Luck!

I have a hunter Ed point and loyalty point and have been very happy with the tags I have had. Not sure how many cow tags i've had but I have drawn 5 Bull tags in 7 years. one was a left over though.

You Sir have won. This is awesome, I bow to your superior wit. he really had me feeling bad since he posted right after me. I was reading through thinking OMG i hope this guy never runs into me in the woods and then I got to the end and almost lost it. Very nice EBB

I had that tag two years in a row and got into a TON of bulls. haven't been in the area for a couple years now but if i looked at a map I could probably start you off in a few good areas. I didn't hunt the burn very much but I wish i would have. If you want to shoot me a PM I'll try to help out with what i can.

alright I am being lazy and haven't read through the entire thread or the website. Can someone give me some quick info on how it works? Is the $25 fee a one time/monthly or annual fee to use it? Can I check as many times as I want with the $25? Is it $25 per state? is there a difference in the monstermulyes.com site compared to the hunterstrailhead.com site? OK I think thats all the questions I have at the moment sorry for the laziness at the moment if anyone wants to help me out with the answers.

I've always tried to set mine as high as possbile. Seems like even when I do I still have critters come in and look right at me! Maybe I STINK though!

I know a few people this year that drew 4 tags on one app but I still never add anyone to my app. Our family all started putting in separately quite a few years ago and there hasn't been a year yet that we aren't all in the woods we just don't all have a tag in our pocket.

I like the cat trap and a pool or the garbage can full of water works if you don't have a pool! I've heard of people stringing up big hooks with a piece of meat from tree branches just high enough for them to jump up and bite. I was told you should wake up to several swinging cats depending on how many hooks you set! I can't stand cats, I don't even know why people still pay for them there's a million running around the city that no one seems to claim or care anything about.

Yup. It always just come down to the luck of the draw and anything can happen. But its looking like 7 points should give me a pretty good chance.

You probably got the better end of the deal getting the second week how ever that decision was made. IMO

Wow that is better odds than I expected, good to hear! maybe i'll get lucky next year.

Well, I don't have any kids myself, But I do know a couple families that have been putting there children in each year and still have not been able to get a tag. I always thought it was an automatic draw for the cow elk tag once you took the hunter safety course when i was younger. Seemed like I had that tag every year once i turned 10. It doesn't seem like a bad idea that you have but what if they were to just drop the age limit on those that could apply for the junior hunts. I think the age limit now is 18, correct me if I am wrong, But what if they cut it to 14 or 15 years old. That would take out 3-4 years worth of kids applying for those hunts and maybe raise the odds for the younger ones. Then they would have 4-5 years to be introduced to hunting through those junior hunts and kicked over to the adult draw around 16 years old. I would like to see them keep the age limit the same for the price of the juniors hunting license and only apply this idea to the elk and deer junior hunts since i have a blast hunting down juniors every year to buy a turkey tag for so I can go call some turkeys!

That is the tag I have started to build my points for. Curious to know how many you had going into the draw this year to pick that tag up if you care to share that info. I went in with 6 this year and that was my first choice.

I have never really tried to really investigate kills i've found very through unless it is extremely fresh and even then I don't really know what I am looking for, But a couple years ago I was in 5BN and found 3 different sets of moo cows with a cow and calf laying dead under trees in different parts of the area. That really had me stumped. I didn't check them out as well as I should have I guess, I was more interested in showing back up in the morning and shooting coyotes off them. What I didn't get was that all three of them were propped up, laying next to each other just like you would see them bed up under a shade tree through out the day. The only thing I could really think of was some punks driving around shooting bedded cows but, it seemed strange how similiar all three sets were.

are you sure hunt number 3014 is 3B I wonder how many people are running down there? could be a pretty hilarious late april fools!

Wow thanks for pointing it out, i kept focusing on the top left of the picture thinking it was ears looking at the camera. "i have a bad computer at work, terrible resolution probably equivalent to a bushnell binocular, tell us where the lion is inthe pic" <-------- The bushnell diss is priceless!
