Hunt beginning of season and have the one you want located by day 1. Most of the deer are bunched up in a few spots and there location is not a secret. Deer in velvet may look bigger than they actually are.

Good luck. 70% or better of deer herd died in 2016 winter.

Hard to go wrong with any of the three. Take your time and let them get a good shot

Best unit in the state. South of the freeway had less winter kill than to the north. Should be a good time

Somewhat effective. Most any screechy distress coyote call can get deer to come take a look. Deer cannot have any indication you are there or they will go the other way. Typically your bigger buck are less interested than younger bucks and does

Might consider that general deer opens 10/10 and general archery closes 9/30 when you make your plans.

280-300" is the standard mature bull. If you find something above that you have done well. Most Bulls in this area have short dagger points. Top end burnt but will not be an concern

I average 1 antler/hr away from the truck. A 6 hr hike should net 6 antlers overtime.

38 in Utah. 96 if you add in other states.

There was no 4 wheelers/utv's, less people owned 4 wheel drive and a long shot was up to 300 yds. As a result this limited harvest vs a quota or draw

Hornady VMax 55 grain work great for no exit wound on coyotes.

Nat-so-pah is still operating.

I have not seen a cougar in the unit but feel comfortable telling you they are around. The others I have seen.

There is a healthy population of each. I would recommend buying a wolf tag.

56 is the only OTC tag, the rest are draw hunts. All would be fine for a youth hunt. Access is easy in all units. Expect to hunt in windy weather.

I had the tag last year. Not much to tell. Thought it was fair at best with mild weather. That last week is very weather dependent.

I still wear a 10 year old pair of dry plus with good results.

I had the tag two year ago and have spent a fair amount of time in the unit. This unit tends to have a fair amount of crab forked 3-points. Every now and then a good deer turns up. There is also a lot of 4-wheeler activity during hunting season. I would determine where they will not be when...

Your post on the shed antler forum looks like you have a good idea where to be all ready. The elk with the short dagger tines certainly resemble the Big Wood genetics.

These units are not your best choices for sheds. There may be a few scattered in the lower part of the unit and where pockets of elk and a couple of deer winter. I would personally keep driving to better ground.
