Hunting Style: There are several ways to hunt these monsters all of which seem to work well. I've killed them by waiting them out in route to their feeding
areas. I've actually killed a couple once they were pushed toward me, but 90% of the big bucks I've shot were spot and stalk kills. All were archery kills. I did nearly kill one by dropping a bolder over a cliff onto his back but he got out of the way just in time. This hunt is worth the money if it's a big mulie your wanting. You'll see dozens of big bucks and some 180 plus monsters. I recently shot a 195 typical right where you will be hunting. There is a limited number of hunts allowed here and there is great genetics, age and large numbers of
bucks!
