Well done Luke! I bet you could smell those back straps sizzling on the grill every step of those 4 miles! Congratulations.

Started a thread a month or so ago asking about tough hikes and better hunts on the Avintaquin. I took yall's advice. I found the nastiest area to hike to the top of, then dropped down into the most remote bowl I could find without any known trails in the area (I use the term remote...

Check just beyond the Beaver Dam Overlook (when the road starts heading west). There's easy hiking on the north side of Nebo Loop around this area.... but get ready for crowds! You'd have better luck dropping off the south/east side around Gentle Band Ridge (horses welcomed!). Not much time...

Love the shot beginning at 3:05!

The ammo supply was another perk as well :) And you're correct, if I can dry fire that sidearm, and also depend on it to defend myself and my brothers, then I might be able to dry fire a hunting rifle once a year... twice if I'm feeling lucky! @Muley I'm with you. Regardless of wether or not...

Cocked/uncocked... doesn't matter. A spring of this size under this kind of tension would have to rust in that position to lose compression. Can you dry fire??? Ask myself and other members of the US Military. Hundreds and thousands of times we'll dry fire rifles and pistols during...

Archery Antelope! Can't think of many hunts more difficult than that! Congratulations on your trophy.

Don't tell my wife... I just spent a few dollars on a new spotting scope!

GREAT POINT! I know the surest way to increase my odds is to get my glass out and start hitting the hills as much as possible before mid-October.

I can get on board with that.

Really good insight Zeke. Thanks for the input.

Does seem like more and more that people are going after those 'harder to reach' places in hopes that they'll find the big one. Can't say a blame 'em. I'll start looking for more think country to scout, thanks.

Most of my hunting has been near Strawberry Reservoir (and a few seasons in West Tintic) and I drew a muley tag for Wasatch East to include Avintaquin this year. I've been looking for a challenge, rugged terrain, deep canyons, but what do you think? Does a tougher more remote hike make for...

I also run Kowa 10x42's for 90% of my spotting. However, pre-season glassing requires my 20x60 86mm spotter to reach out to the far ridges without me killing myself hiking. You'll be more than happy with a quality pair of 15x56's especially if you're glassing bowls... but if you're wanting to...

I must have gotten lucky, I was only 13,000 in line when I got on.

Spent the last 8 years wondering around the midwest and east coast for work. Never realized just how difficult it is to hunt in those locations because the public land might as well be non-existent. Found a job that would finally put me back in Utah and just went on a morning hike for the...
