Definitely! If I was a NR, the only reason I would come to hunt elk in Utah is if a drew a LE tag, why would I buy an archery tag in Utah when I could get one in Idaho that runs through the rut? The surrounding states just have better OTC hunting than we have here in UT. It's a shame cause it...

I drew a Manti muzzleloader tag this year and spent almost every weekend this summer up there scouting. Not a day of scouting went by that I didn't see elk, I found a few herds of 200+. I personally saw more than 15 350" plus bulls and know of at least 10 others from people sharing pictures with...

I saw one come off of Manti this weekend. It was a pretty good looking 5x5. I ran into a DWR officer by one of my glassing spots and he said that he personally only saw one smaller bull taken on the archery along with a few spikes. Said he hasn't heard of a lot of bulls getting taken so far...

It just started this week. It's on the Manti unit in Utah. it has grown to 17,000 acres in a few days. Without rain, they might not be able to get it out much before my hunt starts in september. I doubt much if anything will grow back this season at this point. Oh well, that's how it goes! The...

I've got the same problem right now too. The fire is getting huge and crossed over the ridge into the good elk country. I'm praying for rain to put an end to all these fires. Doesn't look like any is coming anytime soon. When the roads open back up I think depends on what the area around them is...

I'd have a hard time passing him up with my Manti muzzy tag but that may be because I only waited 6 years to draw it. I'm a noob at field scoring but I'd agree with your guess, 330ish.

I'm assuming you drew the premium tag then? Congrats! The early rifle dates are obviously the best dates as the rut will be going full steam and you are carrying a weapon that can shoot hundreds of yards. A lot of people like to hunt the pre-rut stages because the bulls are gathering their cows...

According to a website it is about 5% private land so you shouldn't have much problem with that. I've never hunted it but have spent a lot of time in the general area above it. I know there are some good bulls taken off the unit every year. Goslin Mountain is often recommended to start your...

LAST EDITED ON May-17-18 AT 04:37PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON May-17-18 AT 04:33?PM (MST) Definitely scout the unit to get to know the area as much as you can. It's good to know what kind of bulls are on the mountain so you can set your expectations but as far as tracking their patterns and...

>Any other pics of that bull? > Looks nice and photoshopped. > I thought something looked weird in that picture.. Was the elk's left beam broken off or a few of its tines? The right beam looks normal but its left sure looks photoshopped in there or something. Big bull though.

Thanks for the pointers guys, I know not to expect a monster on this unit and will be happy with just about any 6x6. I also expect that I'll see plenty of hunters especially with the muzzleloader deer hunt being almost the same dates but do know that it won't be nearly as bad as the pumpkin...

Congrats and good luck to you ask well! Turns out the tag was for me by complete luck, I only had 5 points. Thought for sure it would be my dad who had 8. Looking forward to getting to know the unit this summer and chasing some elk around in the fall.

Looks like either me or my dad drew the muzzleloader elk tag for Manti. Haven't gotten the email yet but there is a charge on my CC, I put my dads on my CC just for this purpose as he doesn't check his card much. Anyways, I've been on the unit a few times and last year my brother and I were able...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-26-17 AT 04:15PM (MST)[p]Know what unit that monster was taken in? Book Cliffs?

LAST EDITED ON Sep-24-17 AT 04:06PM (MST)[p]I think $20,000 buys you a bull tag for Deseret land and livestock in northern Utah. It's fair chase hunting but you are pretty much guaranteed a bull. Most likely 330-350 class with some chance for a bigger one.

I feel bad for the people that drew the early rifle tag in Utah this year. The weather in northern Utah this week has been pretty bad. It's basically rained everyday this week and snow at higher elevations. (But then I don't feel too bad for them cause I would love to draw my rifle tag!)

I was down there with my brother over 4th of July weekend and we found 3 bulls hanging out together across a ridge pretty far away but couldn't tell exactly how big they were as we didn't have a spotting scope with us but could tell that at least 2 of the 3 were pretty good size 6 points from...
