It appears I’m a little late to this thread. But, if anybody has some Reloader 26 for sale, I’d be interested. I’m in Utah.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-30-19 AT 07:31AM (MST)[p]Rab Latok extreme. You can find them on sale right now for around $40.00. Much better than other gaiters around that price. Waterproof with ability to breath is the hardest thing to find in cheaper gaiters (in my experience). The Rab gaiters are better...

Wow, that's a great bull. Thanks for sharing with us! You've made the 8 month anticipation even worse!

Sent PM's. DidIDraw, Unfortunetly, I am not much help with the point issue because I got lucky and drew with 8.So, I figure the whole hunt is a bonus. I will have to remember to keep you guys updated on scouting and the hunt. I will have a friend helping for the first two days (Friday and...

I'm coming from Utah. Yeah, I looked at weather from the last two seasons during that hunt and it can definitely get chilly. I like the the idea of wondering around with a camp on my back, but the more I study the unit, the more it seems a bit foolish. Maybe the better way to hunt the unit would...

Thanks for the reply, Carnicero. I have been looking over maps and google earth quite a bit since I made this post and it appears there are roads just about everywhere. It doesn't appear that there are too many places to get more than a mile away from ATV access. I will head down a few times in...

Drew the late tag in unit 1. Obviously, I'm not especially worried about score, more so I'm just looking for an adventure and a fun winter backpacking trip with a rifle. I know there are a lot of tags given for this unit. So, I'm hoping for a few suggestions on places to pack in that I could...

So, they are partially funded by groups that oppose drilling, fracking, grazing, and development of wildlands... hmmm.

Yeah, "Freezer Filler" was probably the wrong term to use for pronghorn. Sure are tasty little devils though.

Nice buck, buckhorn. I've heard from a few people that the unit is not what it used to be. Does anybody have opinions on why (tag numbers, elk encroachment, habitat, ..)? Just curious what people are thinking. Is it the same story on 114?

Drew a rifle pronghorn tag in 49. Just wondering if anybody has had this tag in the past and what their experience was. Is there trouble with animals being on private, finding a buck, etc. Pretty excited to hopefully fill the freezer with some pronghorn meat!

Cosmic, He had 6 non-resident points.

Congrats on the deer. I sent you a PM. Sounds like you were able to find the right place to look in a short hunt.

My Dad drew a 4th season deer tag in units 80 and 81. It wasn't the unit we were intending to apply for. But, now that he has the tag, we are facing the decision to keep or return. Having never been to the unit I don't know anything about it. I have hunted in the bordering units. But, I know a...

I would like to go.

Quite a different experience than I had with Kuiu. Sounds like maybe I bought from the wrong company.

I have a little over 100lbs of elk antlers that I would like to sell. I am in Utah. If anybody has any suggestions for a good antler buyer, I would appreciate it.

Horse, congrats that's my dream hunt. I have had a few friends do this hunt and they all rave about it. I have another friend who is headed up the last week of July in 2016 for the same hunt. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

It's a tough decision. From year to year, I have noticed so much variance. I had a archery bull tag in 2009 when the hunt dates were August 15 - September 11. Starting September 5th the rut really came on strong and I had the best four days of elk hunting that I have ever experienced. I killed...

I am a non-resident with 6 pronghorn points. I have been applying for unit 111-114. But, I spent some time out there last year and wasn't exactly blown away by the quality. Curious if anybody has suggestions for better pronghorn units in Nevada. I am willing to wait it out and build more points...

I agree O_S_O_K. Great pic BigBuckSK!

P.M. Sent.

Nice job. I loved the video and the taxi work looks great. My dad has a muzzy tag this year and I'm looking forward to spending time with him out there. Thanks for sharing the video.

Great video, thanks for sharing. Hopefully more of the same in '14.

I would be really surprised if anybody finds your buck up there. Especially if he's on the east side. Even the west side is tough because most everybody on that side walks straight up the trail. But, good luck. How far was your shot?

It's not in the application guidebook, it's in the Utah Big Game Field Regulations and the online maps. http://wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks/2013_pdfs/2013_field_regs_low.pdf http://wildlife.utah.gov/dwr/huntereducation/1063-extended-archery-ethics-course.html

The Outdoor Life article did about as poor a job really explaining this study as possible. www.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ele.12133/pdf You can read it at that address. The real reason for the study is that "pro-wolf" people say that elk (without wolves)will destroy parts of the...

30 deer kills per lion per year is a fairly good number. 3,000 * 30 = 90,000 The Division did not report that 20,000 deer were picked up off the road. They reported ~4,100. Again, the number 20,000 was already inflated. If you want to add 7x, you are still somewhere around 30,000 (82 deer a...

My point was that you were talking about a different topic, the original post was about accuracy of sex ratio counts. I will concede that there are some problems/difficulties with the way the total population is calculated. But, I was pointing out that there are problems with your logic. First...

Here is a blazing example of arm chair biology. Travishunter is speaking to population counts, not sex ratios. (There are many problems with his model using 7 dead deer/1 road collision, 1x/week mountain lion, etc. But, that is a different topic.) Methods used to do counts have been...

When the teeth are cut, an age and a "rating" are given. The "rating" ranges from A-C. An "A" would suggest that the tooth was read with a high confidence of accuracy. Anything other than a "A" rating, I wouldn't put too much confidence in. I'm not sure why the ratings are not included in the...

Phenomenal. Sure appreciate you posting the pictures. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that I will ever hunt sheep. So, watching them on my own and peoples pictures may be my only consolation. Great pics.

"I've got a beverage here, man."

Fantastic! Thanks for posting.

Really enjoyed it, very nice job. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, great bull. I don't usually read the NM forum. But, I'm glad I did. Thanks for infiltrating the system and posting. Good luck keeping the low profile.

Amazing deer. Congratulations, that's one of the coolest bucks I've ever seen.

One of my favorite bucks of the year. Thanks for sharing.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-16-12 AT 11:32AM (MST)[p]Having spent significant time on the island, much of that time spent hiking the island, I can agree with Yelum. Also, I am familiar with all the wildlife research that is happening on the island facilitated by the money generated from the sale of the...

What an amazing deer. The revenue generated from the deer and sheep hunts is facilitating great wildlife research projects on the island. The dollar value of trophy mule deer amazes me. But, it's nice to see the money go into wildlife research. The debate to whether or not a deer shot on the...
