No, Brian Wessel was hunting Elk Rub, but never saw anything mature. I got him on Determination on day 5. It was kind of slow for me at first. No, his skull is less than 21inches, but I got it just over 20 green. It may hold over that. My friend Matt who hunted with us got one that was well over 21 inches. He had to switch to his compound bow, so I won't talk anymore about it on this site. It was a very good week. Mike

Way to go Mike! Ryan has some giants there. My fat "shorter" wood tick lookin' bear finished up over 20". I can't wait until next year. I get to go back.

Littlebigman- Yes I saw that sow and her 3 cubs. I had to sit that tree on far side of the bait as well. I put in a few more steps to get higher in the tree. I had the big male come in to my left at 7:45, but right at that time an ATV drove down the trail next to the bait. The boar ran back in 40 yards and stood quiet as the machine drove on. He never came back to the bait that night. I could tell he was very tall and long. When he came in at last light, I knew it was most likely the same bear. The cubs were up in the trees 20 yards left of the main bait area because the sow ripped the steel barrel loose from the tree and drug it off that direction. The sow was to right of the bait and in the direction that the boar was headed until he met my arrow. I saw those cubs playing with your arrow as well. It had a steel blunt on Heritage shaft. I saw a bull elk near that area as well. Mike
