    Spent the weekend at Lost Mountain Outfitter's bull archery opener. I'm an official helper this year. Had a blast, as always. Spotted Saturday for a hunter, but never saw anything big enough for him. He's killed multiple bulls, one in the 370 range. Spent yesterday and this morning riding and glassing. Trying to locate 3 good bulls that disappeared 2 weeks ago. Never located them, but did find a pretty chocolate racked 5X5 yesterday morning that will score 280-285. The weather soured yesterday mid morning. They took two small 5x5's, and had multiple encounters at close range with nice bulls. 6 hunters in camp, and all had bulls in their laps in two days. I had to come home today, so don't know what happened this afternoon. Looking forward to going back for the bull rifle opener Oct 1.

    I agree. If I could only hunt animal this would be it. They killed two this morning. One nice 6x6. Not sure what the other one is yet.
