[QUOTE="Country Bumpkin, post: 1724037, member: 92230"] Congrats. That’s an amazing accomplishment in the first year. 7 miles x 4 or 5 trips x 2 (round trip) = 56 or 70 miles!!!! You guys earned that one!! We had 30 encounters this season and never once drew our bows (we had 5 really close encounters that fizzled out). Don’t ask me how that’s possible. Common wisdom says it takes 10 encounters to get 1 shot (insert frustrated head scratching). Even so, it’s the most action packed season we have ever had, we did everything right short of loosing an arrow and coming home with a bull. I hate being a 90 %’er.... it doesn’t sit well with either of us, considering the miserable places we hunted every day, the high cost of energy to be into multiple bugling bulls each day on public land OTC. I guess it just goes to show that even a 10% effort doesn’t guarantee a bull for anyone. [/QUOTE]
