Planning ahead for this years bow hunt and need help...

Topehaw · Mar 27, 2009

I'm not asking for anyones secret honey hole, just honest advice from experienced bow hunters. I'm sick and tired of the sea of orange and the crap that comes along with it. I have always been a 'rifle hunter for mule deer, last year i drew and harvisted a 4X5 on Hrdscrabble CWMU. I would really like to hunt the uintas this year and am looking at 3 areas have heard about in the past. I'm looking at the area sourounding the Lyman lakes, China meadows or Whitney lake. I you could help me decide i will greatly appreciate it. I'm not looking absolitely stuck on a 350 class bull, however crazy things have happen to me before. I'm am hooked on harvesting a branch antler bull with a bow. I want to experience the thrill of the rut. I want a nasty, stinky, pissed of bull to scream in my face. I want to experience the thrill of being so involved in the hunt i lose track of everyting else but the hunt. I hope i'm am able to get the very most out of this hunt. I'm willig to hike my guts out and hire a packer if succesful. I wish i had the money and i'd hire a guide this year to learn from the best. If you can share any information i will be very grateful garunteed.

Thanks in advance.

Lyman lakes good area if you are doing a family camp-out deal so others can fish, but the Boy Scout camp or LDS camp sometimes has alot of kids in the area...

China meadows has lots of campers and day hikers around

Whitney Lake gets alot of attention, plus there are usualy a bunch of cattle running around...

If it was me I would head for Lyman Lakes area and stop on top of Elizabeth Mtn and hunt up high..or go to the Blacks Fork Ranger station and hike into the primative area.
so my choice would be Elizabeth Mtn...
