About this time last year, I cashed in my 13 nonresident preference points for Wyoming elk, applying for a unit with a reputation for big bulls but drum-tight hunting access. That equation is getting more common around the West, and it can be hard to know if the limited access produces mature bulls or whether a reputation for big bulls limits the access. But this unit in Wyoming seemed like either, or both, could be true. Access to the best public…

Now, it’s not a groundbreaking statement to say that spring is the best time to catch giant largemouth — at least not for those who understand bass biology.
