The conservation officers use OnX. I’m going to err on caution.

Who still writes checks?

I’ve lived and hunted in both states. Utah is home, but I loved living and hunting in Wyoming. I’ve never been happier than I was living at Glendo State Park.

I think they are pretty much what they will become by age 3. There is a big difference between a 2 year old and a 3 year old.

I'm anticipating that antler growth in 2024 will be similar to 2022. I would say that antler growth in 2023 was down by about 10% (at least in northern Utah). The bulls that would usually be 310-330 were coming in closer to 280. I attribute that to the fact that the winter-of-all-winters took...

Last year they said the 31st and I got mine in the 25th.

Now that the Wildlife Board has approved final permit numbers, when do you think we will see the first email result? They have to send emails on or before May 16th.

I’m opposed to combining them.

I love how everyone is knocking the author of this post because we are all jealous, and most of us were stuck at work on the opener. Meanwhile, he was lost in the sagebrush turning up a chalk and also some brown gold.

I think it depends on the species and unit. We will just have to wait for the data to be released so we can start the comparisons. Personally, I hope several top bonus point holders have bad eyesight so they opt for rifle permits and their scopes. I know my eyesight is way worse than it was a...

Me: LE muzzleloader elk - 22 points Mountain Goat - 20 points Daughter: Youth elk Youth general season deer - 0 points LE elk - 1 point Moose - 1 point

I wasn’t even born yet!

I would not touch the Kamas. I know someone who had it last year, and they did harvest a goat.

I’ve always wondered how Wyoming has managed to keep this state law in place. Wilderness areas are federally managed lands, not state managed. The state does have primacy for wildlife management. If any of those people cited went to court, I bet they could get the citation overturned and...

You are correct that it is a lot more than a few nannies and one bad winter. Look at what happened on Willard Peak. I saw 200 goats on WP circa 2018 helping a friend get his 13 year old goat. Now, there might be 40. I figure I should burn my points soon while we still have goat to hunt in Utah.

All the Uintah units lost 20-30% of the mountain goat population during the winter of all winters and hunters took too many nannies in 2023. So, DWR recommended cutting permits for 2024. I did put in for one of those units because I can be up there in 40 minutes from my house. There are still...

Good luck to everyone in the Utah big game draws this year. I’m very glad that we only have to wait a few weeks rather than several months to get back our results in 2024. If I were a betting man, I’d wager that I’ll strike out on limited entry elk with 22 points, but that I will draw a...

I’m optimistic that I will draw a limited entry elk tag in Utah in 2024 with 22 bonus points or a once-in-a-lifetime mountain goat permit with 20 bonus points 🐐. I put my daughter in for general season rifle deer, youth elk, limited entry elk, and moose. This will be her second season hunting...

The BLM released the preliminary alternatives today to close a bunch of roads in the San Rafael Swell. I've never hunted out there, but I'm sure many of you have. I've attached a link to the maps and a comment letter generator...

Make it archery only. Then, it doesn't matter how many hunters are on there. Archery is always the lowest success rate of any weapon type.

Stop? No. But, NEPA slows everything down. Even solar. The biggest hurdles will be grid capacity and battery storage. It's just not there.

The BLM goal is 700,000 acres of solar across 11 western states over the next 20 years. It will never happen because of NEPA and rights-of-way issues. Plus, once you build it there isn't capacity in the grid.

Mine tend to get higher. It's like telling the wife that you'll take the first buck with 3 points or more on one side. After passing up a few of those, it becomes 4 points on one side. Then, it becomes, I don't want to go to work, so let's see if we can't find a 30 incher.

They should do one for the African continent. NM and Texas both stand out.

Looks good

Has anyone hunted plains game with Gers Safaris north of Kimberley in South Africa? I'm looking to go over in 2026. Feel free to message me. Thanks.

How do I get on the list to be your grandson?

I like to eat walleye more than I like to eat trout. Walleye have their place, but I'd personally rather not see them in a cutthroat lake.

Wyoming 2017 Nevada 2015 Utah 2005 Honorable Mention: Utah 2023 (biggest archery buck)

We use inreach in our work trucks. Our guys go very remote and the Garmins work very well.

That's a great unit. Good luck. 👍

I'll be there. I may just validate my $5 expo permits this year since all my extra hunting money is going towards a trip to South Africa that I booked last year after the expo.
