Manti private lands cow elk tag

Before I start, I want to say that I didn't buy these tags before I had permission. I had permission plenty in advance to hunt property within the unit and never dreamed I would have had a problem locating elk. But as it most of the time happens, things never work out how you had hoped. So here I am asking for some help

I purchased my wife and I cow tags for the manti private lands back when they first went on sale in hopes of getting my wife the chance to fill her first elk tag. I had permission to hunt ground by mt pleasant and that's where I planned to hunt. Well as luck would have it, I never laid eyes on a cow in the 8+ trips we made to thus property. Saw a bunch of bulls but no legal cows. The snow hit and pushed pretty much everything out of the country. I got permission to hunt a bunch of ground above scofield, that I've had success on in the past. Again, bad luck followed and there was so much snow by the time we could hunt there, that all the elk had bailed out of there for the lower ground. The hunt runs until the 31st of this month and I'm out of ideas and options. Which is what brings me here in hopes that some one might be able to help us out. I personally don't care if I fill a tag, but I'd love to see my wife have a chance at filling hers. I'd be willing to pay a small trespass fee if necessary, for a legitimate chance to get in to some elk. If you or anyone you know has access to some property that wouldn't mind an elk or two taken off it and would be willing to allow us to hunt, please send me a PM. I have access to snowmobiles if needed.

I appreciate any help you can give me! Thanks!

What are the boundaries for this tag?

The entire LE bullelk boundary. The tag is just restricted to private property that isn't part of a CWMU

Gotcha. I actually didn't know they had those on the Manti, but it looks like they do. Wish I could help you out. Maybe knocking doors in Milburn?

yeah they only issued like 100 tags this year for that unit. ive knocked on all kinds of doors, made several phone calls.... what ive found is, if they own land, and are issued landowner tags through the DWR, and everyone who has a tag hasnt tagged out, no one is willing to allow you to hunt their ground. that, and for the most part, any property that is privately owned that actually has elk on it is already part of a CWMU, and therefore cant be hunted with these tags. oh well, it is what it is! hopefully she just draws a decent cow tag for next season

I don't have an answer for you, but just a general statement: your situation describes perfectly why these tags will always be tough. Most of the best private lands to hunt are already in the CWMU program or they are issued landowner tags and have family/friends already hunting it.

I hope you're able to find something.
