I happen to know a guy that had a tag for Bosque Del Oso last year and he and a partner hunted extremely hard and never laid eyes on a bull. This guy was a non-resident and traded in a ton of points for that tag. The Bosque has produced some nice bulls over the years, but it is definitely not a slam dunk. Not that any of the other areas are, either, but I think I'd rather take my chances up in the NW, than down south.

By the way, I have no intention of hiring an outfitter if I would happen to draw a tag.
