[QUOTE="shortpants, post: 500369, member: 30564"] Congrats on drawing a tag and welcome to LRH. I have quite a bit of experience in 22 and will offer my thoughts. The good news is you have a bull tag in your pocket and there is no better place to be in the fall than in the mountains chasin critters. The bad news is I will bet on you not applying for this tag again. Sorry to break it to ya but this is one tough hunt. I used to find a dozen bulls a day in that unit back in the mid-late 90's but as of lately it's a different story. Game and Fish destroyed the late hunts by offering what they call ''more opportunity''. Way to many tags at one time. I guided that hunt last year thinking it would be like it used to be having not been in there much in the past few years and was pretty disappointed. I covered a lot of ground in there searching for bulls including heading deep into the canyons where people don't usually go but saw nothing. On the 3rd day I finally glassed up a small bull in an old honey hole but he gave us the slip. That was our last day. I know of many with the same story and only heard one success story so it is possible. That hunter backpacked in and shot his bull opening morning. If your willing to hunt hard then I guarantee you will have a successful hunt but I can't guarantee you will harvest a bull. Effort = success in my book. I'm not saying you won't have a good time and I hate to sound negetive but I just want you to know what to expect. I believe they cut a few tag numbers this year so maybe that will help. Let us know how it turns out and best of luck. Jason [/QUOTE]
