My wife is thinking of cashing in her points, and take our little boys to go shoot some antelope. How is 91 looking this year? Anyone have any past experience on this unit? We are looking to have fun with the boys, fill the freezer and hopefully find a good buck for the wife. Thanks in advance!

I am mostly curious if the die off form two winters ago was as bad as everyone had speculated....

I think the wife and I have decided to burn our Wyoming antelope points. We have enough point that we should draw either unit we put in for. We have narrowed it down to 91 or 101. Has anyone ever hunted these units? Which would be a better option. We may take our 4 and 6 year old boys along, so...

Ditto what Sliverslinger said! Affordable. Not distracting. Space savers. Incredibly secure!!! It attaches from inside the skull, making it virtually impossible to knock off the wall. Here is their facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/deadondisplayUSA/?ref=bookmarks Looks like they...

Check out these cool skull hangers!! They look much easier to assemble and install than what is on the market, and from the looks of it MUCH more secure and safe to hang on the wall. No chance of them falling off. This is especially appealing for big and awkward head like elk and moose...

You blow elk out of their bedding area, and there is a good chance they wont be back for a while, or even at all. I would recommend NOT hunting a bedding area. Its their "safe space." If that is compromised. they are gone!

There are a few around. Has been for a long time. Not enough yet worth targeting specifically.

I hate to stir the pot a little, but since people are complaining about how Utah is screwing up Wyoming deer with a late hunt that kills maybe 15 bucks a yea, I want to point out that Wyoming has a general elk hunt that runs late that kills Utah General Season bulls. They kill A LOT more than...

I am in the process of doing a euro for a guy right now that has/had them. The teeth were gone, but the hole is there, but only on one side. I thought it kind of unusual too. I always thought that there is a possibility since deer and elk are in the same family.....

They believe it was an out of state hunter. The whole county only had about 400 people, so I doubt it was a local. That buck look even bigger with the picture flipped! I hope one day it turns up..... Mostly a pipe dream, but hopefully someone recognizes it.

My Grandpa shot this buck back in about 1969 with my Dad. They were on the Utah/Wyoming border. They returned home to Randolph to close up their gas station/feed rolling mill, and caped the head out to take to the taxidermist after closing. Someone filled up a tank of gas, grabbed the head, and...

I have seen a great improvement. More deer, and more young bucks than ever. That translates into fewer yearling being shot and fewer overall hunters. I like the small units. It keeps people from bouncing from county to county throughout the hunt. The smaller units are managing the deer, but...

Stephan Woolstenhulme in Coalville is the best around and has a great turn around time. No one is better.

Does anyone have any experience with doing a euro mount in the velvet?

Impressive pedestal mural!
