That is pretty fortunate! Congratulations. I don't know anything specific, but the last few super hunt winners I am aware of have found some nice ones out in the Owyhee units.

Congrats. I think a 350" bull is a trophy for most. I've hunted in the Swan Valley area for years and have never seen a bull over 320 there. What are the details of the tag you drew?

thanks guys! with the tag i can hunt during any controled or general hunt aslong as i follow weapon restrictions. last year we found some solid boys near bear lake area and on big desert. owyhee opens in september for controled bull so will deff hit that area first. never been there so im planning a scouting trip there in aug. any additional info would be welcomed. thanks again, good luck

From what I read...

40/42 is the spot to be. Rifle/rut. Opens sept.25...

in order... 40, 46, 54, 44-1, 66A-1

good luck, maybe I should start putting in for the superhunt!
