Heck, I'd be proud of that bull for sure! I have a 3B late muzzleloader tag this year. If I could kill something even clsoe to that I'd be ecstatic. Congrats!
Your pictures are giving me a false sense of confidence :ROFLMAO: I drew late muzzleloader for 3B and have gotten so many mixed reviews on the unit. I'll be up there a full week prior to the hunt, so hopefully can find something! Thanks for the hope!
Water will always be a key component, especially up there. Last year in 22N, you couldn't sit on a tank without seeing elk. It is just a matter of how big of a bull you're looking for. You're best option to find a larger caliber bull is to glass up high, find them hanging out in timberlines...
I drew the same tag. Active duty guy from Yuma here. I will be up there a full week prior to the hunt. I'm always open to help out other hunters, I'm not looking for a trophy, just meat for the freezer. If you want, shoot me a message and even though we may not hunt together, I would be willing...
