I have the archery bull tag down there also. This is the first time I've logged into this site in years so I'm not sure how to PM on here but if you would like to pm me feel free. I plan to hunt the first 7-8 days and if I don't find a bull that I like I'll go back down the last week of the...

Seems like we all should be glad that those lifetimers have tags each year based on the first few threads I read. If they are dumb enough to choose those northern junk units year after year and only harvest deer every 5th year (and prob 2-4 yr old immature bucks) then it's good for the rest of...

I ran into a big bull yesterday. He's the biggest bull I've seen on the hoof in Utah but I'm no moose hunter and don't know what is considered a big bull here. If you have a tag for this unit and want to know the bulls location shoot me a pm and I'll send you some pics as well. I can't seem...

I ran into this bull on the Ogden unit yesterday. He's the biggest bull I've seen on the hoof in Utah but I'm no moose expert and don't really know what is considered a big bull in Utah. If anyone has a tag and is interested in where this bull is hanging shoot me a pm.

Lakedrifter, I've seen an entire canyon of deer & elk blow out as soon as the dogs are let loose. In 2010 I was spotting for my brother down on the bookcliffs archery hunt and he was setup on a good herd bull for that area. That a.m. the bull was 100 yds out moving toward him and some guys let...

Flatlander, I have no clue who you are and where you have heard that I have threatened other hunters on 3 or 4 seperate instances??? Complete and utter fiction and you know it. First off with the exception of two guys that have a camp near ours and are ethical hunters and seem like good guys...

I guess one last post after reading this b.s. Deepcolor, what Ridgetops really means by his last few sentences in the post is that his wolf pack's idea of working with other hunters is the other group not saying anything when they run the guys out of their hunting area by their passive...

Ridgetop: aka "wolf pack member" I am Jray's hunting buddy and you are completely full of B.S. Your Scenario is completely different from the original hunter that created this topic. I can't believe you try to play an innocent victim of some local dbag hunters in your original post. The guy...

Grizzly, Have you ever seen a guy bit on the hand or finger by one of your harmless rattlers? I have. A guy I know was out hunting years back and reached over a flat rock while climbing. A kind harmless rattler bit him on the hand. His hand and arm swelled up so big it split his skin. His...

Oh, I did forget to make one observation which now makes total sense why trophymuley was so attached to these deer and is on a manhunt. He stated that he always looks at the tags on peoples dead deer and many times they arent nothched correctly "but they do thank him for correctying their...

Tristate is right on with his comments. I don't know why you people are attacking him and think you have the right to police other peoples activities. Its a sad thing that an idiot shot your tame town bucks but aside from calling the local police for the hunter shooting a bow in city limits...

Those bedded bulls don't like to put much energy into the bugle during the day so sometimes its tough to get them to move. I usually never bugle big bulls unless its one or two bugles from a long distance off just to locate bulls in a canyon then it is all about the cow call. In 08 I did have...

Good post. You pretty much summed it up. Especially the advice about no using a bugle. Those big bulls just round up their cows and run them off. good luck

You don't need to hunt an LE unit to kill a 160+ buck in Utah. A lot of the non LE units have better deer than some of the lower end LE units like Vernon. What every you do don't waste your points on Vernon. They give to many tags and it seems like each hunter has a band of people with them...

Jestanw1, You will never win an argument with the ethics sheriffs group on here. To these sheriffs an animal has to be 20 yards away with all 4 legs hobbled, no wind, and a net surrounding the entire area so the animal can't run more than 30 yards after the shot. Reality: animals get...

Utah has some of the biggest mule and elk deer killed every year. You Canadian Bacon eating Canucks should be happy that UT hunters post on the general forum or there would be about 10% of the posts and every thread would end in "EH" The website is based in UT which I'm sure you are aware of...

I have an AR that I just traded for and I'm looking to sell it. The guy I traded with ordered the parts from different companies but if you are interested in the gun pm me and I'll send you the info. It comes with 6ea 30 round mags and a red-dot tactical scope. Also the open sigths are...

I would wear out a pair of danner pronghorns in 1 season. I bought my first pair of Meindel boots 3 seasons ago and they lasted 3 full seasons. Just bought my 2nd pair last month. They are worth the extra money when compared to danners. Ankle support is also pretty good.

I was actually up next to some smoldering pines in one of my spots on the opener last weekend. I've been looking for a huge typical from last year and a nice nontypical that I've found this year. As my luck has it I located the typical buck in the same area he was in last year. He actually...

Oh and I forgot to mention that I didn't mean kick his ribs in with the spurs when I said lay the spurs to him. But you do need to apply gentle pressure first and then increase the pressure if you don't get a satisfactory response. Also, you need to ride him with spurs at home if your loping...

At 11 years of age or so if the horse has been used pretty hard he may be having early signs of navicular. It may not be a mental issue or anything like that if he has always rode out on trails for you and then just decided this one day to stop. Sometimes the first signs of legs/foot issues in...

so these helicopters are spraying nap weeds at first light on the opening morning of the rifle deer hunt?? Highly doubt it. And they would most likely use a plane for that. Also, these helicopters didn't look set up to spray anything other than bullets from a customers rifle. (in my opinion)...

How do you know the guy didn't roll his quad, truck, etc and was possibly hurt, stranded, in need of help and maybe had someone else that was injured?? I'm just giving another reason why the guy may have been frantically trying to get your attention for some help and tried to get in your car...

Even if you don't know the country take the tags. You can find bulls in dang near every canyon. I drew the tag in 2008 and my brother had the tag in 2010 and the hunts were a blast. The elk herd is huge. You will have plenty of opportunities at good bulls. If its really hot just sit water...

From what I've heard this buck has been seen in town, on the edge of town and in the foothills but is pretty much living in the foothills and dropping down to feed. I think he is mainly living in an area that is open game for archery hunters. Although I'm sure some idiots will blow him to...

These helicopters were definately "NOT" military. The one with a medic symbol on it was probably from the Vietnam era. The black one is newer but not military either. Also, Dugway proving ground has more area to fly than they even need so I doubt they are flying Southeast to find areas to...

I've never used that shot, BUT I was helping my brother on a Book Cliffs archery elk hunt a few years back and there was an old timer with a deer tag that had set up a blind on water not too far off the road. One evening when we were returning to our camp he stopped us and asked us to help him...

My parents were camping on the Vernon Range this past week so my wife and I drove out to spend the day with them. There were two seperate helicopters during that day flying very low buzzing the canyons. One looked like a green Vietnam era helicopter with a medic symbol on the side. The second...

BlooDTRaCKeR, You need to buy yourself a couple heeler pups if you live in a neighborhood/area where you can't even leave your garage doors open. They aren't big dogs but they know their owners property boundaries and patrol like they are getting paid. In my neighborhood it seems whenever a...

Looks like you may have a little competition out there for some of the bucks you posted. Yesterday a guy I know who set some cams for a buddy of his that has a tag showed me trail cam picks of that triple cheater buck, I'm pretty sure that same tall 3pt with the long G2s and swooping fronts and...

RE: TROLLWIRE I realize there are plenty of great hunters that frequent this site. My posts have been in response and directed to the proclaimed meat hunters with an oppinion that shooting forkys every year hurts the overall size of the bucks in utah which negates our chances each year to...

Tristate, My family sits down for dinner every night. It isn't the type of food we are eating that is remembered, it is the conversation and the fact that we are spending time together. You had think pretty hard to come up with that post to justify the meat buck argument.

RE: TROLLWIRE greatwestern, I can assure you that OT, Jray, utarcher and myself are not the same person. I guess you long time MM bloggers with 7,000 posts that know everying about hunting probably think we are because a few of us agree on the subject and combined have less than 100 posts on...

I think this topic is a good one to discuss. My personal opinion is that the estimates are innaccurate. The season for the unit that I hunt was shortened for a number of years because of the supposed buck to doe ratio, but I didn't experience any less number of bucks in the areas I hunt...

MMWB, You just proved my point. I'm hunting general season deer units in Utah at 8500ft + in elevation. "There is no camp fire to have a conversation around" unless you want to blow every trophy Buck into a new zip code. I don't expect everyone to be as extreme as me and my hunting...

Nickman, I only brought up the forky example and how they learn to be elusive and smart when they are running with bigger mature bucks because some other poster had said that forky bucks are as smart and can be just an hard to kill as a mature trophy deer (which is total and complete BS)...

I think that Oregon is the only guy on here that understood my post. Trophy hunting is what I choose to do. Many people are the same way and just don't say it. It is ok if other hunters kill small forky deer every year. I'm just fed up with a lot of the so called "meat hunters" coming up...

Guess I'll be one of the only honest hunters on here to answer your question. "I hunt horns" and I'm not afraid to admit it like a lot of hunters. I could lie and say that every year I would like to shoot a great big buck but when that doesn't work out I'm completely satisfied with the...

We don't need to manage the wild mustang herds, we need to remove them from the wild. They were not native here, a good number of the herds were somewhat managed back in the U.S. Cavalry days by going out and shooting all the stallions in a herd. Then the Cavalry would bring thoroughbred...
