Lucky Wasatch Elk Draw

Kirk22 · Aug 29, 2017

Hey guys here's the deal somebody had turned in their 2017 Wasatch limited entry muzzleloader tag I was the next in line of course I accepted the tag but I'm now in a crunch obviously not having the tag I have not done any scouting Any help would be greatly appreciated

The guy probably turned the tag in because of the lack of elk he was seeing. 1st post asking for help good luck.

If you're sitting on a pile of points then do whatever feel right. If you're 5-10-15 years from drawing a tag then take the tag and go kill a fine trophy bull. It's that simple.

Try up by strawberry reservoir or current creek or American fork canyon

Thanks Brian will look into those more

A couple questions:

1- How many points did you have?

2- Are you familiar with any of the unit at all?

My uncle says, "Your Welcome". He's the one that turned in his tag

kirk Check your pm.

N_Corey · Aug 29, 2017

Did your uncle have conflicts with the hunt or wasn't seeing the numbers or quality he'd hoped for?

Kirk22 · Aug 29, 2017

Really Hayjack that's cool I would like to know also why he turned it in?

Kirk22 · Aug 29, 2017

Vanilla I had 7 points and a little but only in past years

HayJack · Aug 29, 2017

He actually turned it back in because i got lucky and drew the muzzy book cliffs hunt and so he said he'd rather wait another year and go down to the book cliffs this year and check it out

Where are you familiar with on the unit? Feel free to PM if you'd like, but I ask because the Wasatch is huge, and knowing where you're familiar is going to help narrow it down.

Either way, I'd start spending every bit of free time you have up there from here on out so you can identify where you want to hunt.
