I was up there Saturday the 24th, trying to pull trail cameras for the muzzleloader hunt. If you are planning on being above 9000 ft, be ready for this. Measuring with my poles, there was 14 inches on the ground, and the drifts were up to my hips. Also be ready for lots of downed trees...

The biologist for that unit is Chad Wilson. You are in luck. Chad is a good guy. Chad is doing a goat classification on August 11. If you are serious about getting some help, contact chad. Should be something like chad wilson @ utah.gov or something like that. You can look it up, or contact...

LAST EDITED ON May-27-16 AT 03:08PM (MST)[p]What makes one "HD" and the other one non HD? Also, what does HD stand for? If it stands for High definition, what does that mean? How does Swarovski break down the definition? Is it in pixels, dots per inch, how much added resolution do you get with...

If you are a backpack hunter who likes to work for it, its a good place the enjoy the hunt. Its an experience that is rewarding no matter the outcome. The cache valley has several other options that are easier and hold as good, and better animals. Plan well. During the archery hunt, when you...

You may see bands of rams anywhere, but most likely on the west side, in the red mountain area. The area on the west, below frary peak will hold lots of ewes, lambs, and young rams at this time of year. This is a short video that shows the typical type sheep you will see from the peak for the...

"I don't know much about cameras." Do you want to? Buying an 80 D with no lens will set you back at least $1,000.00 probably $1,200.00 Add a decent lens to that and you are going to be spending some money. If you don't want to know much about cameras, thats a lot to spend. I will tell you to...

I spent a little time digiscoping Mountain Goats this winter. Thought maybe some of you would enjoy a little video of my favorite clips. https://youtu.be/xAGi_B_5JSI I wanted to keep it under 10 minutes so 99% of it got cut. Enjoy. www.newfoundlandbighornsheep.com

Not all heads sold as Fluid heads are fluid heads. But you might not want a true fluid head. The difference is, true fluid heads actually have a thick oil in a mechanism that restricts or frees the movement of the oil. The head itself rides on a cushion of lubrication that gives true fluid...

Sageman, that was before product endorsement made a HUGE splash in the hunting industry. In the old days, you got paid for a magazine article, or a VHS tape of the hunt. If you shot your trophy with a PSE bow, PSE jumped in and sponsored your video. These days old Chuck would have his door...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-16-16 AT 05:12PM (MST)[p]Both Colorado and Utah wildlife declined the chance to relocate the goats. They will be killed. Just depends on who kills them. I understand there is a policy against hunting in the park, but the simple fact is, there will be hunting in the park. If...

I posted this on the Utah forum, but Utah needs everyones help on this. Read this article. http://www.sltrib.com/home/3514002-155/national-park-officials-plan-to-shoot?fullpage=1 We have once in a lifetime species about to be eliminated from an area. The question is "how to remove them?" One...

Read this article. http://www.sltrib.com/home/3514002-155/national-park-officials-plan-to-shoot?fullpage=1 We have once in a lifetime species about to be eliminated from an area. The question is "how to remove them?" One idea is to hire professionals to kill them. The other is to issue tags...

Elkantlers, I was looking through the scope trying to see some identification numbers, or something that would identify them. I cant film through the scope, and look through it at the same time. I wish I could. In hindsight, I wish I had. I would definitely have posted the video of these...

letmegetbig I don't know what winter range you visit, but the location I am talking about is not closed at all. Its open to be driven in a vehicle, its open to be walked, its open to be out on a horse ride, if your horse is so inclined. The entire area is closed year round to ATV and OHV...

I was out photographing deer on Friday. The snow flew most of the day and there was no one out there but my friend and I. We had parked the vehicle and hiked out to a draw that normally holds many deer. We had been there for a couple hours, filming deer from across the draw, half a mile...

Moose, with the canon software and a raw image file, you can change that, or customize it as part of the editing process, thats not my personal preference, but if you just want to set it to daylight and never move it, then adjust later, thats up to you. I don't store files on my computers, so I...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-04-16 AT 02:14PM (MST)[p]TRDhunter. I made a little video for you to check out. https://youtu.be/ypQPr3zWHDk Hopefully it helps with a few things. Basically the new Swarovski system and the TLS APO just make things easier, faster, and more efficient. But the camera...

TRDhunter, I totally understand that we all cant afford the X series system. It can be a lot of money. The scope, TLS APO, and a camera like a 70D would set you back as much as a my first automobile purchase. I happen to have a vortex razor 85 as well. Have you looked at the vortex D.C.A.? The...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-30-15 AT 02:02PM (MST)[p]Moose, it seems to be a subject with some interest. I am no expert. But I do play around with it a bunch. Digiscoping has been an aftermarket mess for years. People trying to capitalize on the market by building one size fits all adapters and guys...

"Lately it seems when I buy something, I usually find something better later and I get stuck with what I have." As far as digiscoping goes, you won't have this problem. This is by far the best digiscoping system that has ever existed. However, thats not to say that you won't find something...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-30-15 AT 10:38AM (MST)[p]I am guessing you meant to type 60D rather than 6D. If you truly meant the 6D thats a full frame sensor. the TLS APO lens is smaller than the sensor in the camera so you will see a large, dark, ring around all your photos no matter what. Fantastic...

One thing that I forgot to mention was the sensor size on your camera. If your camera has a full frame size sensor, the TLS APO will not cover it. APS-C size and micro 4/3 will work fantastic with the TLS APO. If you get set up and need some advice, get a hold of me. I can send you a bunch...

To answer your question "if the pictures turn out different from each size of module" There is a couple things to consider here. The objective diameter being larger on an 85mm vs a 65mm should allow you to use faster shutter speeds in low light. The 65mm and the 85mm objectives have the same...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-18-15 AT 02:38PM (MST)[p]1. What IS the reason the tags are given to the conservation groups? I believe the funds are allocated 10% conservation group who auctions the tag. 90% back to the DWR. I also believe that the state is supposed to use the money raised, on projects...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-15-15 AT 05:29PM (MST)[p]Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the entire idea corrupt? I understand that high dollar auction tags are the reason that sheep reintroductions have been so successful, but why should they be sold at private banquets? Why are the expo tags only...

Possibly related to the KUIU web security issue? KUIU had me change account info due to some security issue. They did not say what the issue was. Kind of odd to see a site like that come out of nowhere. www.newfoundlandbighornsheep.com

Corruption follows hand in hand with rarity. www.newfoundlandbighornsheep.com

Hey Trammer, you know I always value your opinion. So, I got a question for you. Its a long the lines of this thread, sort of. I saw that they are opening two new units in 2016. Not really. They are reopening the pilot mountain sheep hunt. Not a new unit. They just shut it down for a year. I...

Thats crazy! I am guessing the DWR was not 100% sure it was a corsican when you called them. They don't know that you are smarter than to mistake it for a rocky. Too bad. Its definitely the state record! Would have had to come from a game farm right? High fence exotics.

I was on a limited entry elk hunt last week. Got back late at night, cooking some food to eat before bed. Reached across the top of a lantern to flip some food over on the grill. Burned a hole in the sleeve of a Sitka Kelvin jacket. Look, you can see the primaloft silver insulation! There...

I came across a photo taken in 2010 of a ram I call plus tags. The ram has broken the end of his horns a bit, and has broken a chunk out of his top right horn, and his collar is worn a bit over the years. The growth on him is whats interesting. Since its sheep season, I figured I would...

Rooster, Horn hunter full curl system, sitka bivy 45, and my newest acquisition?. mystery ranch metcalf.

Lets say, just for the sake of seeing how much we can get into these packs, that we are going on a November muzzleloader elk hunt in Utah's Uinta mountains. We will need a good supply of clothing. We will need a warm place to sleep. We will need the ability to cook food. So, you buy a pack...

Ever look through a couple spotting scopes and think "I cant tell the difference"? Well, I am fortunate enough to own several spotting scopes. 4 actually. My favorite is the Kowa prominar TSN 883. I love that thing. Recently, I got a chance to put my X series Swarovski up against a Celestron...

I have a question. See the hoof that is sticking out from this goats front right leg? What is your opinion? It that the foot to the rear left leg, or is that a busted front leg? The reason I ask is because back in early March, I filmed this goat with a severely broken right front lower leg...

I have a big agnes air core sl, a thermal rest neo air camper, and a thermal rest neo air xlite Recommendations kind of depend on what you want. If you want comfort and bullet proof reliability, the neo air camper is it. Its made of thermarests most durable material. Its also their highest...

Sorry, forgot something. I also recommend, that no matter what pack you choose, get a couple dry bags to go on the load shelf. It just makes using the load shelf 100 times easier. The Stone Glacier dry bags are breathable. Thats good for the meat. The other nice thing is that you don't get...

This is what I usually put in mine. The photos does not show a water filtration pump, or tripod for the spotting scope. Food also is not pictured. What is in there is a sub zero sleeping bag, inflatable sleeping pad, an 8.5 ft tipi tent, with liner, and wood burning stove. 3 sets of shirts...

Hey lead head, depending on where you are located, I might be able to help you out. I went on the same journey you are on. I ended up with a Stone Glacier, a Kuiu, a Horn Hunter, and a Sitka. Still have them all. You are welcome to come play around with all of them and see what you like best...

Congratulations. I can promise you that you will have a great time. If you need info one places to start, photos of the type of sheep you can expect to see, or info about anything, let me know. Check your private messages. Go out a lot. By the time the hunt starts, you will know everyone with...
