My Grandfathers 2011 muzzy bull. He had the hunt of a lifetime and there was never a dull moment over 7 days of hunting. This year my father has the same tag and we are pumped to head back knowing more about the unit.

SWD seems to put out some big 5's. I use to live down by that unit. Some great bulls down there. You guys will have a blast.

I have been there the last three years and not going away. But you are definitely smoking crack if you think the quality hasn’t tanked

Well I’ve been there the last 5 years and not smoking crack. Your probably a road hunter with bankers hours so there’s nothing I can do for ya.

Hey if road hunting is the secret to the year your family had last year wapitiwilly, then sign me up. lol. I do believe there still are some good bulls on SWD. But there used to be a ton more giant bulls roaming that country in the early 2000s.

Agreed there are still some dang good bulls. But nothing like 10-15 years ago.
but that is only my perspective from the road

At least we can laugh about it. All good. Hopefully you have some tags coming up and wish you well. Make sure you carry an extra set of tires and you probably don’t have to worry about bringing an alarm clock has well!!

. Actually I might hit you up for a good Antelope unit for next year. Have quite a few points. Felt like I made a new friend so stay well. Don

Thanks Don!
It is healthy to do a little jabbing back and forth

Good luck this year, stay safe
