An interesting question for you all...

Recommended Posts

Don't pass it up on the first day if you would shoot it on the second day.

10-4. I have always said that if it is good enough for the last day than it is good enough for the first day.

That is a pretty good tag, and you have a chance to put a beautiful animal on the wall. Next time I draw a September tag, I will not have any preset limits. I will shot when it feels right. I have passed some great bulls in search of a monster, and have eaten tag soup. It is never a filling meal.

I have spent quite a bunch of time in 6A. Quite a bunch. Lots of elk in the unit. Haven't seen that many 350" bulls compared to the amount of bulls I have seen (meaning percentage wise, the percentage of 350" bulls compared to the number of bulls is low). It is not a trpohy managed hunt unit like there are in some other units in this State (say for instance Unit 10).

 

I would hope for a 350" bull, but I would be realistic with my expectations. If the right opportunity presents itself with a bull you would you would be satisfied with, I would wouldn't hesitate to shoot. There is much much more to having a "successful" hunt than the score of the animal. On some of my most "successful" hunts, I didn't come home with a score at all because I didn't take an animal. It is all about the enjoyment and memories and not the score. Hunt the entire hunt hoping for a 350" bull but enjoy and savor your hunt. It may be years before you draw another tag.

 

Just my opinion.

Passing 300inch bulls is one thing... but passing a 320+ bull in 6a is a bad Idea unless you are willing to go home empty... Besides... unless you have a 320 bull on your wall already, you will piss down you pants leg once you are in bow range of a solid bull like that... I have been blessed to have hunted and seen a fair number of 350+ bulls in that unit over the years, but I never encourage anyone to pass a 320+ bull there unless they "Know" they can do better... Like... already have better found.

 

Just my $.02 worth... Best of Luck on the hunt. :)
