    Henry Mountain Questions

    So, just got back last night from the Henrys spending time with my buddy on his bison hunt and then looking at big deer. Been doing the November deer trip for several years and this is the first time in mid November that I've been camped at McMillan Springs and had the day time temps in the 50s...

    Elk on the deer hunt

    Took my 2 oldest on the deer opening. Saw some deer, but the excitement for the day was having this big boy run up to within 10 yards of us. He had been running for a while, tongue hanging out. Came across the ridge and ran right down the draw to us. Told my kids to stand perfectly still and...

    If you have a webcam in the Sinks

    Ok, there is a pond up in the South Cache area, off the Sinks road on the north end, on a little pond. Has 2 tree stands on one end and one tree stand on the other end. I'm not going to give the exact location. I know this is a long shot, but if you or anyone you know owns this webcam (or...

    Elk grunt, what to do

    So I was up scouting over the weekend and walked down through a pine draw. I cow called and got a bull to respond with nothing more than a grunt. I could cow call, he would just give off a grunt sound. Never bugled, never changed. I had other cows in the area also talking but he wouldn't...

    Pretty quiet up north

    Spent the weekend on the Cache South area wandering around. It rained hard up in the Sinks on Friday night. Saturday I crossed fresh tracks, but no bull or cow talking in the Peter Sink area where I was. Still pretty quiet. sled_guy

    Millville fire and Cache South elk

    So Saturday took a drive up Providence canyon. Road turned us around above the gravel pit as I didn't want to beat the truck up. We looped down and went all the way up Millville Canyon. Part way up I mentioned to my brother that I thought we might get rain. We went all the way up on top and...

    South Cache LE Bull hunters

    Ok, I will admit I am one of the luckiest people alive, I won the Expo tag for South Cache rifle this year. I grew up in that area but it's been a few years since I hunted it so I am pretty excited. Who else drew a tag up there? sled_guy

    Thanks Colorado Unit 21

    Well, my buddy Travis and I had a great hunt this year. In fact, Sunday is likely the best elk hunting day success wise I've ever experienced in my life. I shot my bull right after day break and he shot his right before dark. 2 elk down and packed out in 24 hours, we were 2 tired boys. My...

    Youth Hunt Success, no bull on the ground

    Nope, my boy Josh didn't get a bull, but we consider it a successful hunt anyway. We hunted hard... on the mountain 6 of the 9 days. We saw elk almost every day, saw bulls on each of those days but couldn't get a shot. He saw his first 2 bears ever, we saw moose, deer, speed goats and even...

    Kudos to our DWR

    I know we all have our times when the DWR frustrates us, but I want to send out a big kudos to the guys manning the phones in Salt Lake and dealing with draw issues. A buddy of mine from out of state put in for a cow elk tag. Draw came and went, no letter telling him yes/no, no indication on...

    Youth opportunities in Utah - Not happy

    Ok, this is admittedly a rant. I believe Utah has made a huge mistake with the way they did the deer tags this year for the youth. Switching to making them draw a rifle tag in order to hunt all the hunts put them in to the same fiasco/confussion that everyone else experienced with the new draw...

    Elk south of I70 and east of the Colorado River?

    Just got back from a couple of days running the Colorado down through Westwater Canyon. We camped in the Canyon where the Little Delores "river" comes in to the Colorado. One of the guys in our group spent some time hiking off to the east and found a fairly nice 6point elk shed. It was pretty...

    Colorado 21 Elk hunt changes

    So I was looking at the guide book and noticed a change to the first rifle in unit 21 so I called the DWR for clarification. The either sex tag has been changed to a "Private Land Only". The public land hunters now have to choose between either bull or cow. That puzzles me because I've talked...

    Ok, in the hunting regs the following line is written for the elk areas requiring 4 point or bigger. "Bull elk taken must have 4 points or more on 1 antler, or brow tine at least 5 inches long" I get the 4 points or more on 1 antler part. I don't understand the brow tine part. Give me an...
