Got back last night. I was the sexy cow and we got beads on several bulls bedding areas in two days of scouting prior to season. Opening day morning my buddy shot a trophy bull. We dropped in on him from an adjacent face to a bench above his bed after the thermals switched. The cow calls made him talk but the bull bugle from his backyard made him come charging out of his house...silently...except for 700lbs of POd stepping on deadfalls and raking bushes. Apparently the unit resident bulls are known for approaching silently and it held true.
Never got into a buglefest. Regardless...Stalk and call is a blast.
I been here in Colorado since last Sunday. First day I saw a spike. Sat all day on a wallow that’s getting hit hard but nothing came to the wallow. But while I was there that evening my cellcam said I should have been at my old faithful spot
Those are illegal to use during season or while hunting

I left the mountain Sunday morning watching buzzards. Either I stunk like dead critter after 9 days of not taking a shower or the critter was dead in the creek bottom below...because the buzzards were perched 100 yds down wind and to my east. I think I got stalked by buzzards...sneaky buggers. I hope they were just roosted above an actual dead critter and warming themselves. I had seen them 2 miles off the day before near the bedding area...after 7 days of no buzzards anywhere.
I just rolled in from 8 days out, had some decent bulls close. Found big boy last day thermals would not let me move in and he was not coming over hill. Hope you guys had good luck. Had another great year getting away from cell signal and hanging out with old man, only got a few more of those years left in him.
