Go Made in America (Tennessee). See link: Knight Rifles I would stay away from Traditions. Had forend break (they replaced), scope rail holes drilled off center on receiver (modified rail), camo finish degraded and got sticky (they could do nothing, except use different paint on later...

And add to that: What are you hunting with (rifle, MZ or bow) Resident or NR (who may not get another tag)

I just back from 8 days in the Book Cliffs helping a buddy with his MZ hunt. Anxious to give it a try.

Thanks for the additional suggestions.

New to mule deer hunting and am wanting a book to get me started. I've been told their behavior is nothing like the whitetails here in the South. I take 3-4 of them a year. Interested in food, habits, hunt techniques, etc. NRA Life Member VFW Life Member

You guys are almost making me feel better about my usual Unsuccessful email (11pts for NR MZ in West Desert-Vernon). I told my wife we are moving back so I can use these points before I die.

I've heard that some states actually make you pay up front when you apply. Depending on how many tags you are trying to draw, this could expensive VERY fast.

NAP 125gr Spitfire has worked for me.

A NR and a Utah Resident put in for a hunt together (LE Deer). They have different points. I know that when two or more people put in for a hunt together, their points are averaged. But, does UDWR apply that averaged number to the NR or Resident hunt? (Usually, Residents require fewer points...

Thanks bluejay. Since I moved out of UT, my points have been building up pretty quick. Of course EVERYONE not in UT has points building fast, so no real advantage. Now, if I can just get back there, I'll be set!!

Looking at the Non-Resident Limited Entry charts on Big Game Draw Odds; What is the difference between Bonus Point Permits and Regular Permits? It appears that when Utah divides the number of permits available for a particular unit, the top half of draws are called "bonus" while the remainder...
