With that many points why not put in for a Muzzy hunt. I think you would be almost guaranteed a tag in any unit. Just a thought.

edgar,
great point! with that many points you can draw just about any hunt you want. i would rather hunt an early hunt than late! but some people would prefer a late hunt

With 15 points you can draw every late any-weapon tag, and all but Pahvant/San Juan/SW Desert early any-weapon tag. Within this year or next year you are ensured of drawing any any-weapon tag you want, I would apply for the tag you want and ride it out.

Define, develop, and sustain BOTH trophy and opportunity hunts throughout the state of Utah.

I concur. Unless you aren't going to be around after this year, do the early rifle on San Juan, Pahvant, etc. It might take a couple of years but you've put in the time, win the prize! (And take me with you!)

LAST EDITED ON Jan-06-09 AT 07:45AM (MST)[p]If you just have to burn your points this year i would go with the ML--where the season dates fall this year, it is very similar to last year and it will be perfect for a rut hunt. Otherwise you have waited 15 years what's another year or to to hunt the early season with the rifle.
If you have to go on a late hunt, speaking from several years of experience and despite what others have said here....I WOULD NOT BURN 15 POINTS (or 12 for that matter) on a LATE SEASON elk hunt on the SAN JUAN PERIOD!!! SERIOUSLY!!!

utahelk1... I think you are well aware that you can draw a muzzy or late! But... with the dwr screwing the deer and elk hunters in utah left and right is there anybody out there that can answer your question! I went on a late hunt the first year it was out down south and it was great downed a true 350 on the first day! Now that a few yrs has gone by I have no idea!!!! Good Luck!!!!
Thanks for all your responses...It doesn't sound like a late hunt is the best. I'm not leaning toward a muzzleloader hunt either. I think I'll look at some premium tags and/or early San Juan..Pahvant..Beaver...Dutton and jump in huh? I hear the waters fine. I am worried about the effects of the spike hunts that will start this year....good luck to all!
