Flinch and others,
My good friend and his brother finally drew Monroe tags this year. Only 16 years of putting in. Anyway, Mike was in bulls the entire time and had a BLAST. He ended up killing a 350 5 point bull on the last night, but had passed on bulls pushing 385 hoping for that elusive 400 point bull. His brother killed a bull around 380.
He keeps telling me to "not settle". I have 9 points going into this next draw and find myself willing to "settle" for a different hunt. I know I could draw several tags for archery, but shoot, for a once in a lifetime hunt, I think I should have my rifle with me. Decisions, Decisions.
Sorry about your bull being poached Flinch. I think I read that story before. Still what JV said about any legal bull, seems so true here in the general seasons too.
