Utah General Any Bull tag, or Spike tag?
My pop and I didn't get drawn this year for any Utah elk or deer tag, so we're trying to decide on an OTC tag for either a general any bull unit or a spike only unit. My question's are: We have never hunted, or been on the Henry unit. How is the elk? Is it worth a tag? I know being a general unit we will not be alone. I have been trying to get ahold of the biologist for that unit, but nothing so far, I'm sure the guys are busy this time of year.
Last year we hunted the North Slope around Poison Mountain. Burnt fork/Smith Fork and boy was it crowded. Very few animals taken where we were. I about wore the legs off my old man last year with all the hiking we did and still I couldn't put him on a bull, even a small one. We did see one on the Wyoming side though, that would've been an expensive harvest. I have hunted Dutton the last 14 years for deer and have scene many spikes and several good bulls and I know the unit well.
We're just a father and son team lookin for opinions on a general elk unit. If he decides not to opt for a spike tag, I'll probably get a spike tag and hunt Dutton.
Thanks,
Joe.
