CONGRATS!!! I muzzleload hunted area 15 in 1998 with Mick Chapel (Guide was Michael Delao) and enjoyed EVERY single minute of it. If I recall correctly we were roughly a little bit east of Spur Lake the morning I got my bull. My lucky azz step-brother drew, I didn't so I had to forkover another $2k for a landowner tag. I understand now those same tags are appx double that. BUT it was worth it, he killed a 270"ish 6x6 and I gotta 368" 6x6!

Mick had several gun hunters in the area as well and I think they were down in the "16s" and one of them had a 400" bull with a hole in it but they were still out the last afternoon we were there and I never heard the final results. Sure an AWESOME area for bulls outside of the indian lands just across the border in AZ!

Good luck and don't shoot the first decent bull that comes along!
