I have hunted Colorado for a number of years and this was hands-down the worst I have seen. I have been putting my father in for points only for the past 13 years and at the age of 67 I figured it was time to draw him out and go hunt. We drew 3rd season, unit 22 and I could not have been more...

After 12 years of applying, my dad drew a 22, 3rd season deer tag and I am looking for any help I can get. I've been putting him in for 12 years now and we deiced to go all-in on this tag. He's 67 years old and this may very well be his last chance to get a good buck. We're hoping for a fun and...

Has anyone hunted this unit in the past that would be willing to help a guy out? I burned a decade of points to pull this tag and really want to do all I can to stack the deck in my favor. Ive started calling a few people that have hunted this unit in the past, trying to get as much info as I...

Great points @lostinOregon. I agree that the folks out there that can do what these two guys did are the exception to the rule and just because you can buy a rifle that shoots "1000 yards out of the box" does not mean the hunter can shoot a 1000 yards. I also agree with the rage being more about...

I can tell you boys have put a lot of time practicing shooting at long range distances. I have no issue at all with guys like you who know their equipment, have put in the time and can MAKE those shots with confidence. IMO both deer were taken ethically and I tip my hat off to you for making...

That was fun Jake. I appreciate you letting us take a second stab at the score. I would have been eating some real crow had you not! Fever

I would like to retract my earlier score please and submit a new one (-: I am now going to say 184". Better angle showing off the size of his frame and main beams. Heck of a buck. Fever

Great buck but he is no where close to 180. I would say high 160's MAYBE low 170's. Heck of a buck though especially with archery gear. Fever

Very cool! With a bow none the less! Cool footage and an exceptional antelope. Well done and congrats again. Fever

4.5 to 5.5 years old would be my guess. That buck looks young to me. Great buck though! Fever

Hunted the Wasatch for 10 straight day with my father on his Muzzleloader LE tag. Couldn't agree more the original poster. Never saw a herd bull with more than 7 cows! Contrast that to he LE hunt I went on with my a good friend of mine on a LE down south and each herd bull had 20+ cows with...

Yep, 315 - 320" would be my guess. Cool bull Fever

I appreciate the input guys. Ive been at this game now for quite some time and have never seen anything like this.......little blood, foaming at the mouth, bedding down 200 yards from where he was shot.....anyway, sounds like it was a gut shot. Makes sense. We looked all day and could not turn...

My dad just shot a bull with his muzzleloader at 148 yards. After the smoke cleared we were not able to tell where, exactly, we had hit the bull. My brother watched him bed down across the canyon from us through his spotter. He traveled down hill only 250 yards after being hit and bedded in a...

Well thought I would report back on what I ended up doing....after reading the post here and talking with a few folks a went with the Divorski ATX 85mm (angled). I have used it several times now out at the range sighting in my dads smoke pole for his up coming elk hunt. I had an STS for years...

The new 15's will weigh 42.3 ounces compared to the old ones at 45.5 ounces (3 oz difference). The biggest difference will be the HD glass on the new ones vs non-HD on the old ones. The rep I spoke to said the new ones will be a few hundred $$ less than the MSRP which is at $2,799. Meaning...

Okay, I am sure this has been posted on here before but I cant find the post! I am in the market for a new spotter and want some advice on getting an angled eye piece or a straight eye piece. Would love to here your opinions on which on to get and why??? Fever

I'd say you have yourself a monster there my friend. Definitely a buck of many lifetimes. easily over 200"!

Now thats what I'm talking about!

Leonard, I agree 100% with what you have stated. Finally, someone who makes an educated argument instead of just wanting to whine and complain.

Leonard, I also have not made the mistake of buying a tag in a state I am not a res. in but claim to be. Neither am I trying to down play what he did. Life's lessons can be pretty tuff at times and I am sure Mike regrets daily for having tried to work the system back then. He has worn a...

So do the mule deer police not work on Saturday??? My post has been up for 15 minutes now and has not generated one response from the "Holier Than Thou" crowd? Come on now, I want a good debate on this one! Lets party! FEVER

Sorry, cant resist throwing my own opinion out here after reading all the garbage from the mule deer police on this sight. You guys all kill me. Good thing none of you have ever made mistakes when it comes to hunting, life, family etc. Man Founder, didnt know MM had so many "perfect saintly"...

You got me! Haha, cool post and way to go on taking your boy out with you. Good to see dads spending time with their boys in the hills. Fever

If you want to kill something with your bow then head up to Tremonton and go on a pig hunt. You can even bring the kids along with you! Promise you would have more fun on that hunt then you would wacking a doe and taking a potential 50 dear out of Utahs already sorry deer population. Plus the...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-07-11 AT 07:09AM (MST)[p]Great Post Sage!

LAST EDITED ON Dec-07-11 AT 06:32AM (MST)[p]179 7/8. Fronts are short and have no fork depth. That is going to kill the score on this buck. Heck of a buck though. I for sure would not have passed him up, short fronts or not!

If you want meet in the freezer and you care about UT deer herds then for sure don't shoot a doe. Tons of options out there like coyote meet, chicken, pot gut, chipmunk, beaver, squirrel, jack rabbit etc. Plus I heard Harmons is having a good sale on their beef this week. See, we all just gave...

Heck of a buck!

To many wolves + non-refundable hunting license + to many wolves + no point system + to many wolves = me hunting in ID Fever

Brandon, That bull looks giant! If you have any pics of him on the ground I would love to see him. Post em up! Fever

Looking to book a hunt with 3 other friends of mine to Sanora for 2012. Was curious for all of you who are in the know of old MX as to what you think about the safety forecast for 2012??? Read all the older post, don't want to beat this subject up but don't want to end up on the 10 o'clock news...

Nickman, Im still trying to figure you out man. So I show up to hunt in my 50K Ford pickup on a public land hunt and you want to throw me into a category of "holier than thou" hunters???? Thats kinda what your saying right??? Despite the technology available to todays hunters, there are...

Shanqwa16, Sorry if I misunderstood you. I understand what you are saying about not being able to hunt outside of your unit. The biggest difference is while YOU the hunter are confined to a specific area the ANIMAL is not. I have been on several hunts where I am at the edge of my unit glassing...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-24-11 AT 09:51AM (MST)[p]You are saying hunting an LE hunt is no different than hunting a high fence???? Brother, I can assure you one thing that and that is hunting an LE unit is not even in the same ball park as hunting High Fence, regardless of acreage. Animals behind a...

Got a question. I bought a landowner tag an want to know how much you should tip the operator whom you bought the tag from and the guy that helped guide you durring the hunt? Fever

IMO, I think you would get more satisfaction out of hunting a CWMU or purchasing a land owner tag and taking a bull on private property with out a fence than you would hunting a high fence unit. I would think the cost of a CWMU or Land Owner tag would be pretty comparable to a High Fence deal. I...

Now that truly is a sad tale. Had that exact thing happen to me on an elk hunt only I was able to find my antlers! What a sad story

Stud Bull man!!! Love the mass!!! He is a tank!!!

Bird Dog, PM sent brother!
