Utah move

Looks like I will be moving back home to Utah after 10 years here in Billings. I'll be living in Utah this fall, but will be a NR on paper till 2018 for tags.

Right now I have 3 general deer points, 8 LE deer points, and 12 elk points. I think I want to hold out for Manti early elk. Should just be a few years once I become a resident again. I want to burn some of my deer points this fall. I'm thinking the general as I'm going to be a "front" archery hunter moving forward.


A lot has changed since I lived in Utah, even though I grew up there....with all these new units and stuff.

Any good ideas what to do with the 3 general or 8 LE points? Like I said I'll be putting in and hunting this year as a NR but will be living in Utah when the hunts start.

I have good glass, and enough gear and desire to do what it takes, just looking for a place to start.

Any units to look at that are over looked, sleeper type for deer that would be obtainable with this amount of NR points? Prefer rifle, but I have a Muzz and I can hold my own with archery tackle.

Any ideas would be great. I'd be willing to spill some beans about montana hunting if someone wants to swap info.

Pms or regular responses are great. Thanks in advance.

Be safe on your travels moving this time of year!

You can apply for any Gen unit bow archery and then just get the Ethics course cert. and hunt the 'Front' after the Gen bow buck dates end---if you haven't harvested yet--ya know.

LE with 8pts.....Books or Vernon ?? Archery-maybe?

Buy points this year for everything you have points already started for.

3 general points will get you almost any general unit.

Good luck with your move.

Thanks for the good wishes. I guess my real question is what are some good general units that are worth using 3+ points on?

I've already hunted the front so the ethics course and stuff is already done.

I just am looking for a good general unit to try so I don't burn points on an easier-to-draw unit for no reason.

Well at least you got to stack up on points for ten years being a out of stater. Add up those points for one more year and then jump in the pool . Welcome home !
