So lets say for argument sake that I was considering a drop camp in the rubies this year. As someone whom has never done one before, how do you get enough food up there. Is it all freeze dried mountainhouse or is their a way to get some good food and decent supplies in. I am aware of the fact...

As I will be unsucessful in the bull elk draw, and will get my bonus point. If there are leftover antlerless elk tags can I put in for that draw and use up the bonus point I have for cow elk. Or am I prohibited from applying for two different sex's of the same species? I would think I could...

I have already narrowed down my choices for my mule deer unit choices, however, I was wondering what would be your top 5 choices for archery antelope? I only have 1 point soooo keep that in mind. ~BaldBeaver

First question, Do I have to buy a license to get a bonus point, I assume I do. I would like to get bonus points for utah, but do not intend to hunt. Am I better off just going fo rthe point or putting in for difficult Units, in the rare chance I do draw? ~BaldBeaver

Bought this ground blind for a friends lope hunt, and to be quite honest I can not say enough good things about it. I will say that I read numerous reviews about the zipper being an issue, and I could fully see how that could be if one is not a little cautious when closing the zipper the first...

So from those that have hunted the South Slope, where would you point a guy for his first elk hunt. Not looking for anything big, just a chance at an oppurtunity and the experience. From the sounds of it, there will be easier access due to weather on the south vs the north slopes. ~BaldBeaver
