Manti Elk/Deer

OutdoorFanatic · May 27, 2017

I drew an archery tag for the Manti unit, and I'm pretty excited for it. I've only been hunting for a few years, and I'm not super familiar with the area. I'm excited to get out and chase some bucks, but I'm excited to chase some cows/spikes as well. Is there anyone who could maybe give me some pointers of where to start or any info about the area? Thanks in advance!

Congrats, Manti is a fun hunt. So did you draw a manti archery deer tag? and then you are going to pick up a general elk tag and hunt cows and spikes during the 3 weeks that is open?

Manti has a ton of elk and deer, if you go basically anywhere over 8,000 ft on the unit, if you hike around a few miles, you are going to find both deer and elk. I'd say pick a spot on the map and take a couple scouting trips and explore the area. Manti is huge so I'd suggest focusing on one spot and get to know it well.

That's what I was planning on doing. Thank you for the info! Would you suggest further north or further south part of the region to focus on?

This unit is where I grew up hunting and still do. Honestly you will find animals about wherever you go on the mountain. North or south. Like mentioned, pick a general area and focus your scouting on that general spot as the unit is too big to try and learn all in a year. Try to find high advantage points to glass large areas and you will turn something up. This unit is amazing and getting to know it will be almost as fun as the hunt itself. Good luck!
