Got a call from my taxidermist yesterday letting me know that my caribou was finished and that I could come pick it up! He's now home and up on the wall and I can't stop staring, LoL. He's bringing back all sorts of fun memories. I think he turned out perfect and looks amazing! Big shout out to...

Just wanted to share my CWMU buck that I shot this past weekend! I was a public draw hunter and was treated every bit as well as a private hunter or someone who bought a tag. This hunt was everything I hoped it would be and I'm super happy with the outcome! I wish there was more of a story to...

I know this is a little after the fact, but better late than never, right?! So my daughter (who is 16) beat the odds this year and drew her pronghorn tag with only 3 points! She obviously doesn't have my kind of luck in draws, otherwise she'd have max points and still be applying! Anyway, with...

Hey guys, I posted this in the Alaska forum but wanted to post it here as well for the larger audience. You may already be aware of this but for anyone who has already booked a hunt this year or for anyone interested in hunting caribou and or moose in Northwest Alaska, there is currently a...

Hey guys, for anyone who has already booked a hunt this year or for anyone interested in hunting caribou and or moose in Northwest Alaska, there is currently a proposal out there to close hunting in GMU 23 and 26A for non-subsistence hunters. We all need to make our voice heard. If you can call...

Wanted to share a few pictures from my muzzy deer hunt this past week. This year, instead of the usual suspects that I typically hunt with it was just myself, my son and my nephew, both along for their first deer hunt. We left home Wednesday afternoon and made it to camp around 5:30, just in...

The Utah RAC packet with proposed tag #'s is out. There are some interesting proposals this year such as the elk tag #'s on the Wasatch, cow moose tags, late season muzzy etc... http://wildlife.utah.gov/public_meet...rac_packet.pdf

Just wanted to share the goat I shot last week on the Plateau unit in Utah with my muzzy. What a super super tough hunt! It was nearly impossible to get anywhere close to anything we saw let alone within muzzy distance. In fact, as soon as we would see any white dots out in the distance, stop...

I scored my first Robin Hood ever this weekend! Me and my friend were shooting from 60 yards and lo and behold I shot my arrow. At first I thought I had missed and hit the wall or something based on the sound it made. Anyway, Pretty cool I thought even though it cost me a high priced carbon arrow!

Just thought I'd share a photo of 2 bucks that I've been seeing on my trail cam...Sure gets me excited for Saturday here in Utah! Which buck would you guys take given the chance? Nice symmetcial 4x4 with eye guards or unique wide 5x2 with giant eye guards and a little kicker...?

I'm headed down Thursday to the Plateau/Boulder unit after a cow elk. Just wondering what anyone is seeing down that way. Are the elk still up high, down low, or scattered? The current plan is to focus on the Parker Mountain/Parker Lake area....Or, is there a better area to focus on? Any...

I read somthing this weekend regarding both Anise (black licorice) and Vanilla extracts and the fact that they are great at attracting both bears and big game (deer, elk, moose etc..) Just wondering if anyone has ever tried using Anise or Vanilla extract with a trophy rock or something or just...

So I ended up buying myself a blind recently(Ameristep Carnivore) that I have set up for archery season this year. However, before pulling the trigger on purchasing the blind I went back and forth and really waffled between the ideas of hunting from a blind or a tree stand. I'm just wondering...

Thought I'd post up a picture of a general season bull I have my eye on. He first showed up on 6/4 and then again on 7/15. I know it's the same bull because of the little devil tine on his left antler. It's always amazing to me to see how fast they grow. Now I'm just hoping he sticks around...

So I took a hike this past weekend to check up on my camera and swap out cards and thought I'd share what I thought was a pretty cool photo. He's no monster, but seriously, how cool would that be to hear an elk bulge in early June!

Since I love reading all the stories (both long & short) and looking at pictures of everyone else?s hunt, I thought I'd post up the story of my cow elk hunt from this past weekend. Even though this was just a cow hunt, I think it ranks right up there as one of the most fun hunts I've ever...

I didn't know anybody knew about the second goat I helped retrieve over the weekend. But since others are asking I thought I'd share some additional pictures of the second goat. Ironically, after talking to IAkota about his goat, I received a second phone call from another hunter who had also...

Posted this in the Utah forum as well....I just saw this over on the Utahwildlife.net forum and thought I'd post it up here....Sounds like there really is NO law regarding Trail Cam use in Utah! "Re: Trail cam, treestand, ATV..Forest service restrictions by sroot ? Jul 21, '11, 8:21 Good...

I shot this bull on Nebo during the muzzy hunt last year. Had the mount done by Curtis at Monarch Mountain Taxidermy and have been looking forward to getting him home every day for the past 9 months. I brought him home and hung him up This week. I love the way he turned out and thing he looks...

Does anyone know if the Nebo loop road is open yet from Payson to Nephi?

LAST EDITED ON Oct-05-10 AT 11:00AM (MST)[p]It's funny how you spend so much time preparing and gearing up for a great hunt. I took all 9 days of the hunt off from work and expected to be up on the mountain until dark on the last day. Instead, my hunt was over by 7:35 Wednesday morning. Some...

So for all those who have drawn a UT LE Muzzy Elk tag, I'm just wondering what your method of scouting is/was? I have a muzzy elk tag and have been out scouting. However, my main concern is finding elk in one area now just to have the elk be long gone later on after having been pressured and...

So I've been reading some interesting reviews lately about the new miracle black powder - BH209. It seems like everyone has stellar reviews for it (myself included) if they've only been to the shooting range with it. Most of the bad reviews are from people that used it in the field. My...

So I lucked out this year and drew a muzzy Nebo elk tag! Its no longer a "pending" charge, but a posted reality on my CC statement! I'm so excited and looking forward to an excellent hunt! If anyone out there has any hints, tips and just plain great stories from having hunted the unit before...

With the application period for Utah approaching, I was just looking for feedback, experiences and opinions from others out there who have hunted CWMU's in Utah for bull elk that might help me make a more educated decision... I am wondering specifically about the Grass Valley/Clark Canyon CWMU...

For whatever reason, I can't reply to the ?Son's spike- first biggame? thread, so I'm just posting this here??I shot this bull in an Any Bull unit 2 weeks ago, so not really an issue. But, I just wanted to share, this is not a yearling bull, 4-5 according to the DWR. But would be considered a...

I bought an over the counter any bull elk tag this year with the hopes of being able to see and maybe even shoot one this year. I hunted the South Slope of the Uintahs this past weekend and just wanted to share some pics and the story about the nice 5 point I ended up taking! By 6:15 am opening...

Has anyone out there ever hunted this CWMU unit before for Deer or Elk? If so what kind of experience did you have? How many critters did you see? I drew an antlerless elk tag for this unit and am just wondering what kind of an experience anyone else has had here. I've looked at the info on...

So I just got back from my elk hunt and had a blast. I even shot one too! After all of the advice and opinions everyone shared, I just wanted to share how my .270 actually performed. I shot my cow at about 200 yards +/-, my first shot was a quartering away shot as she was trotting down hill...

I have a cow elk hunt coming up, and only have a .270 that I have shot for years, am very comfortable with and can shoot good groups with also. I was just wondering though if a .270 is a good caliber rifle to use for such a hunt? I realize that bigger caliber rifles, 30-06, 7mm and 300's are...

Does anyone happen to know much about the Lewis Peak antlerless elk hunt? Specifically, I'm looking for access points. I know where Lewis Peak is, but I'm not sure how to access it or if there is any ATV access. Have any of you hunted Lewis Peak before? How was your experience? Anyway, any...

I've decided to try my luck this year at taking a bull out of the High Uintas. I know I've got my work cut out for me, and I've got a lot of scouting ahead, but anyways, to get myself excited I would like to see pictures of the bulls (big or smal) that any of you have tagged int he High Uintahs...

I am looking at getting myself a spotting scope for my birthday this year (12/7) and am looking at the Alpen 725. It's within my budget ($200) and seems to be high quality. I was also looking at the Burris Landmark. Do any of you guys have any experience or opinions with either of these 2...

Sunday morning I was hiking up Days Fork in Big Cottonwood Canyon when I stumbled upon a dead 3 point that had been shot with an arrow by an archery hunter. It had been there for I'm guessing a month as it had been picked pretty clean and had a healthy population of maggots finishing the job...

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to shoot a really nice antelope down on the Plateau unit near Loa. He was on the run when I shot him, my first shot broke his back and a second shot finished the job. I'm a little worried though how strong and gamey the meat is going to taste now. So, my...

I'm just curious what area all you Utah muzzy hunters think is the best for elk? I'm not interested in secret spots, just the area you feel is best for finding success hunting elk with a muzzleloader.
