Greetings:
One of my partner's drew non-resident archery elk for South Slope Diamond Mt. He had 0 points, but it looks like 4 points was a guaranteed draw for both non-resident and resident, so it is obviously not one of the high demand units for Utah.
Regardless, us Oregawn boys are excited, and looking forward to a great hunt. He is looking at going guided, given the amount of private land on the unit. Any suggestions, experiences, ideas about guides in the area would be appreciated.
Would also appreciate any info on what would be a realistic expectation as far as bull. Here in Oregon, a 260 bull will draw a lot of attention in many units, so we are more easily impressed than you spoiled Utah boys. He figures this will likely be his only elk hunt in Utah in this lifetime, so hopes to tag a nice, mature bull.
Any help is appreciated. We are happy to share our knowledge of our home state, although it is unclear to me why any of you would want to hunt here, for the most part, except for sheep and antelope. Good luck drawing one of those tags.
Thanks everyone, and good luck this year.
