Yeah, I’m a transplant…..but I’ve been hunting this place for almost 40 years. 😁 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigj23 Report post Posted September 25 Well, it got better but that day was a phenom. We got on bulls each day but no love for calls, just letting us know they were there at the bottom of the canyon or moving fast in the AM. Only found one herd with active satellites, which was the day it turned on. Rain on Monday did not help any. I have been out in the woods in rut every year since 2012 and this was by far the slowest rut I have seen. After trying to sneak in on a few bulls yesterday, my son was getting stressed about school and took a smaller bull. He is a great shot and shot a bull with two cows at 75 yards. The bull went about 100yards from the shot. On such a tough hunt I told him not to be upset with the size, be thankful for the opportunity. Two archery bulls by 16 years old, proud of him. Now he will focus on his 12AW late tag and then my other son’s late 23 tag. Still got a lot of memories to make this season! 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
