I took my bow to a local archery shop and was less than impressed after I left. I hate when this happens because it really makes me not want to go back. Unfortunately I felt like the young guys behind the counter were more interested in talking hunting stories and drama then working on bows and...

My dad is 60 years old and has a pretty good chance at drawing a moose tag (22 points). He?s thinking about doing the cwmu up chalkcreek. Does anyone have much info on the hunts for this cwmu, quality moose up there etc? Is it a ?safe? spot to burn 22 points and once-in-a-lifetime tag...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-10-17 AT 09:21PM (MST)[p]This morning I was listening to a podcast and they were interviewing an outfitter here in Utah. I thought he was doing a great job until he said he has 14 tree stands on a limited entry unit all year long- because he loves to have his guys hunt these...

Does anyone know if or when the EL glass will go on sale? I know the SLC sale ends 12/31... the guy at Cabelas said it's been about a year since seeing the El's on sale and it might be coming up??? Looking for a swaro rep or insider info :). Ready to pull the trigger on some 10x42s soon- hoping...

Thanks! Archery, Yes probably baiting, no dogs, no guides.

I've never hunted bear before but I have 6 points for Utah. Trying to figure out my odds. When I do draw I want to have the best chances I can get so I'm thinking Wastach (close to home) and early season. Anyone have ideas on my odds? Thanks, Jason

I might have a monster 7 for sale if you are interested. PM or email me. [email protected]

I see that the draw deadline is April 3, but when does it open to start putting in? Thanks

What's your opinion about cover up scents - such as cow elk estrus urine?

Pete, I'm actually really struggling with which to go with on the ata. I'm looking at the z7 and the Monster 7. Both are great bows. I think both have some very great things about them but the ata has me hung up. The z7 is 30" and the monster is 33.5". I will take all the help with accuracy I...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-22-09 AT 07:38PM (MST)[p]That's really the only thing I'm looking to trade right now. The gun is for sale for $1600.00. So I either sell it and by the binoculars or someone trades.

Is that your sleeping bag on top of the foam pad? If so, man that is really compact.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-22-09 AT 08:26PM (MST)[p]Got my pack today. Very happy with it so far. Can't wait to try it out. It's my first Eberlestock so I hope I enjoy it as much as I do the Badlands. By the way, Steve is a great resource and has some great deals. I would definitley recommend him. Tell...

Browning, O/U, 325 Grade I, 20 ga., 30'', IC & IM, SST, pistol grip, schnabel forearm, vent rib, pad, adjustable trigger. Willing to trade for Swarovski 10x42 bino's. I can email pictures. [email protected]

Ed, I checked out your website and I think with shipping it was going to be $309 and it looks like you only have it in the Max1. I'm looking for the Realtree Hardwoods and this Stevepeck guy quoted $260 delivered to my door. If you can match his price and have it in that camo, let me know...

Thanks for the info. I emailed that stevespeck guy and he can get it to me for $260 to my door! Does he have a website so I know he's legitimate?

Anyone have this pack? What do you think? I'm seriously considering it! I've been researching places to buy them but I haven't really found many that are offering deals. On Eberlestocks web site they want $299.00 plus shipping ($20 -$30).

I'm pretty shocked to see a few comments about people not liking their badlands. I have the day pack, the fanny pack, and just bought the 2200. Their warranty is the best I've ever seen!! If your unhappy with it, I would give badlands a call and see what they can do for you. I've known them to...

I'm having a tough time deciding if I should go with the 2800 or 4500 (I really like both), but the 4500 just seems so big. The majority of my hunts are during the day but at least a few miles back in. There are some when I will pack in and stay over night. Could I get away with having that gear...

I've noticed a lot more guys are now wrapping their arrows with custom tape. Is it to just personalize your arrows more or is there a benefit? Thanks

I personally know three guys that use/used these broadheads. All three have lost animals with them. 1 guy shot a deer last year at 40 yards, said he thought it looked good, might have been slightly forward and the deer was never recovered. 2nd and 3rd guys both shot elk similar to your situation...

I'm shooting a Matthews Switchback and goldtip xt hunter 5575 with 3" vanes. I've never fletched my own arrows - I was thinking about buying some stuff to do it on my own, but wanted to know how difficult it is to get going. The other thing is, I've been hearing a lot more people switching to...

A friend showed me this the other day. I thought it was very informative.

I totally agree with everyone on making sure you position yourself down wind as much as you can. HOWEVER, there will come that moment when the wind will make a change or swirl right as you are closing the distance with that nice bull. In the case when the wind swirls, I think with the...

Every year before going out, I wash all my camo in that scent shield stuff to help remove the odors and then fold them up and store them in a regular container. I've heard that some guys take dirt and/or pine cones and will put them in the container as well. Good idea? Bad idea? Neccessary? My...

Thanks Pete! Well stated. Good luck with your draw this year. Although, hopefully the archery dates won't screw you up with the rut... Now that's funny. No it's VERY SAD.

Does anyone have a link of the area maps. I'm looking to hunt Kemmerer area and would like to know what area number that would be for Antelope. I tried looking on the fish and game sight but couldn't see any maps. Thanks

I'm planning my hunts for this year and while I know the area pretty well. I want to double check some information (public and private lands). I was watching on the outdoor channel and they had a special about public and private lands. A hunter might come to a fence and it may be private land...

Does he have a website? I would like to buy one of those paintings.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-07-07 AT 08:32AM (MST)[p]I've never hunted Colorado or Wyoming, but I hear that they are the ones who have figured it out with their dates. I was just recently reading an article in one of these hunting magazines and it said, "when your Utah hunt fails you AGAIN, consider...

What is the likely hood of Utah bowhunters being able to change the archery dates for elk to be at least 1 week later? I can't believe how archery hunters just barely miss the primetime of the rut season. I just have such a hard time with the state giving rifle hunters the prime time for...

Thanks. It's an open bull unit (public) archery in Utah. I hope it will be a good year!!

Below are a few pics of my trail cam I had up from the 7/25 - 8/10. I have a tree stand in this spot. I have a ton of cow pictures that I'm not showing just because there is way too many. What would you do in this situation? The bulls only hit the spot on the 25th of July and then on the 10th...

What about these guys that hunt with a shooter and camera man?

LAST EDITED ON Aug-13-07 AT 10:47AM (MST)[p]Over the weekend I went and checked out my trail cam that is on a wallow. I had some great pics and really think this is going to be a great opportunity. Here's the dilemma. I have a good buddy and he's insisting on putting two tree stands in there at...

Well, I called the DWR and after going around with the lady who answers the phone she transferred me to one of the law enforcement guys. The main question was does the light cast a ray? In the proc it says: a person may not use or cast the rays of any spotlight, headlight or other artificial...

I've seen some guy's at the local Utah archery shops with a light on their bow they use to help see their pins while shooting. Is it against the Utah law to use one, or even have one your bow while hunting? I recently put one one and even during the daylight in the pines it's amazing how this...

Good question. I've wondered the same thing. There was an article last year from someone who's a scientist on scent lock clothing and how it was a bunch of "bs" and just a marketing tool. I'm curious about the scent eliminator stuff. The stuff I use is scent shield. Every year I wash all my...
