My wife is thinking of cashing in her points, and take our little boys to go shoot some antelope. How is 91 looking this year? Anyone have any past experience on this unit? We are looking to have fun with the boys, fill the freezer and hopefully find a good buck for the wife. Thanks in advance!

I am mostly curious if the die off form two winters ago was as bad as everyone had speculated....

I think the wife and I have decided to burn our Wyoming antelope points. We have enough point that we should draw either unit we put in for. We have narrowed it down to 91 or 101. Has anyone ever hunted these units? Which would be a better option. We may take our 4 and 6 year old boys along, so...

Ditto what Sliverslinger said! Affordable. Not distracting. Space savers. Incredibly secure!!! It attaches from inside the skull, making it virtually impossible to knock off the wall. Here is their facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/deadondisplayUSA/?ref=bookmarks Looks like they...

Check out these cool skull hangers!! They look much easier to assemble and install than what is on the market, and from the looks of it MUCH more secure and safe to hang on the wall. No chance of them falling off. This is especially appealing for big and awkward head like elk and moose...

You blow elk out of their bedding area, and there is a good chance they wont be back for a while, or even at all. I would recommend NOT hunting a bedding area. Its their "safe space." If that is compromised. they are gone!

There are a few around. Has been for a long time. Not enough yet worth targeting specifically.

I hate to stir the pot a little, but since people are complaining about how Utah is screwing up Wyoming deer with a late hunt that kills maybe 15 bucks a yea, I want to point out that Wyoming has a general elk hunt that runs late that kills Utah General Season bulls. They kill A LOT more than...

I am in the process of doing a euro for a guy right now that has/had them. The teeth were gone, but the hole is there, but only on one side. I thought it kind of unusual too. I always thought that there is a possibility since deer and elk are in the same family.....

They believe it was an out of state hunter. The whole county only had about 400 people, so I doubt it was a local. That buck look even bigger with the picture flipped! I hope one day it turns up..... Mostly a pipe dream, but hopefully someone recognizes it.

My Grandpa shot this buck back in about 1969 with my Dad. They were on the Utah/Wyoming border. They returned home to Randolph to close up their gas station/feed rolling mill, and caped the head out to take to the taxidermist after closing. Someone filled up a tank of gas, grabbed the head, and...

I have seen a great improvement. More deer, and more young bucks than ever. That translates into fewer yearling being shot and fewer overall hunters. I like the small units. It keeps people from bouncing from county to county throughout the hunt. The smaller units are managing the deer, but...

Stephan Woolstenhulme in Coalville is the best around and has a great turn around time. No one is better.

Does anyone have any experience with doing a euro mount in the velvet?

Impressive pedestal mural!

He does amazing work! One of the best.

Keep us updated on your hunt. I saw moose was an impossibility so I have been putting my wife in for this hunt. Hopefully in a few more years....

Can't wait till my little guy can do this stuff with me. Last year (18 months old)we shot a little buck off horseback. Best hunt ever. He loved every minute of it. Still talks about it.

I wish I had this tag. I wish I wasn't so far in for Moose or I'd switch.

When it comes to mule deer, there are few, if any who do a better job than Stephan Woolstenhulme of Summit Taxidermy in Coalville, Utah. A close second would Josh Hunt of Deer Creek Taxidermy. One or the other seems to win the expo competition every year lately. Top notch guys, down to earth...

So, with all the talk of this specific Cache city buck, what ever happened to the most notorious Cache city buck? I know the Hyde Park buck is dead, but I have heard so many different stories.... Anyone know if it was legit or otherwise? I would think if it were legit there would be a lot...

That is my dream hunt!!! Hopefully my brothers and I can pull off a DIY in a few years. Gives me hope that I can do a couple in the next fifteen or twenty years.

That buck is a stud! I love those tight and tall bucks!

I have had great success and accuracy with Hornady 140 grain boat tails. Killed elk form 40 yards to 450, all though 450 is REALLY pushing it. .270 is a great elk gun.

A late hunt was what we were planning on putting him in for. I know someone who had a late tag for our area last year and it was very very tough. All the years leading up to last year have been great. Way too many elk have been taken off the unit in the last 6 or 7 years. It was hard to find...

A really tough place to be point wise. Everyone wants to kill a monster, but a monster to him would be anything over 300" I think. A 330" bull would be over the top for him. He killed about a 320 class bull a long time ago on a general unit, but another guy claimed it. The guy hit it in the...

I think he has like 12 or 13 points. Probably not enough for Deseret. He grew up in Randolph, so he is familiar with Deseret, but may be out of reach... Has anyone here hunted the Strawberry Ridge CWMU? Still near his old stomping grounds.

I hate to do this, but I was wondering if I could get some valuable input form everyone on here about some elk units. My dad is getting up in years, and has a decent number of points. We were intending on putting him in for the late hunt close to home up until this last years hunt. The good...

This was my first time competing. Had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Seminars were really cool too. There were some amazing mounts there! I have a long way to go.

This is one of my dream hunts too. I wish I had applied for goats instead of moose....... Hopefully my wife draws soon. Did you hunt with your bow with the rifle season or is there a way/tag to hunt with a bow with no one else hunting with a rifle?

I will agree with the shrub culture theory. No doubt that helped. No question that Juniper encroachment kill vital deer forage and consumes large amounts of water. A good Juniper fire across large areas of the state would no question generate a lot of food/habitat/water for out deer. In...

I agree with Itipaw. I'm no lion expert, but I have hunted them a lot with friends and family. More often than not when trailing a cat we have found a fresh (less than a week old) kill from that lion. Often times it is a mature loner buck. I'm not saying lions are the biggest problem, but...

DrDeth, I have to agree with the the statements of others. I believe Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and many other western states (I think the Dakotas)allow all residents to hunt all weapons on all general season tags. The reason they can do this is that, for the most part there is more good deer...

RE: Depredation Sheep Puddle Valley That is awesome ! Way to go. Lucky hunter and lucky wild sheep herd (keeping the possibly infected ram out of the herd).

I know the Oak Creek deer herd is struggling. Does it justify a deer transplant? Only if there is adequate forage and water and the predators are under control. What scares me the most is that they are transplanting some the New Foundlands to Oak Creek where I have heard there is a decent...

Very cool. Good thing there is always next year

All, My brother lives in Missoula. The style of bullet he was shooting is no longer made, or at least he cannot find any of it anywhere. He has a ton of brass and would really like to find someone that would be reload for him. He of course would be willing to compensate for the work. He has a...

Very cool!!! What is they typical success rate for muzzy vs rifle?

Incredible!!

That is a freaking awesome bull!! There is a lot of length in those curved tines. I bet he will score better than you think. I'd shoot that bull with about any tag in the world. Did you end up putting a tape on him? Congrats!
