I know the unit very well, that bull must have been right there on a small property if it was killed in Oct. The unit gets way better in the Dec and Jan season, but what's done is done. A percieved pet killed. Not that it matters, but at least they can say they weren't "Trophy Hunting" but it doesn't matter. You'e talking Boulder, Lyons, EP, all hippies/antihunting.
True story, a sow was getting agressive, into garbage, the DOW came in killed her and the cubs, no questions, boom done. Well, the neighborhood went up in arms, wanted a town meeting, invited the DOW to attend......... NOT.
20 bucks some new rule will be put in place hunting in that unit due to this? Same happened in Brainard lake........ Same people.
