2004, 2005, 2006, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2021, etc. was good to me. No complaints from me about the current hunting conditions. The good old days are what you make out of today.

I shot my best buck from a general OTC unit in Idaho and my best bull on a OTC muzzleloader tag in Utah. I have had the so called good LE tags for deer and elk and I did not kill bigger. I am definitely in the opportunity camp. I want to hunt and I’m happy to be on the mountain as often as I...

Fun hunt. Likely will not live long enough to draw another OIL hunt.

It has been that way for a long time. Draw order is valid as well if you have the points to draw both LE and OIL. In 2014 I had the points to draw my LE antelope and my OIL mountain goat tag. I did not want to be eliminated from the OIL draw by drawing my antelope tag so I bought a point for...

My best. Utah OTC muzzleloader public land. 12 year old bull. 350

Some amazing bulls on this thread. I only have one elk mount on the wall and it is my best bull. Utah OTC muzzleloader public land bull. I do not have any more wall space in my little house so I have a few European mounts laying around in any space I can fit them. I would love to have the wall...

Opportunity to hunt is what people that like to hunt would vote for every time. Sitting around talking about hunting on a website gets old. I would rather go hunting and I don’t need trophy racks to have fun and create memories. Hunting should be fun and enjoyable. Again the Wasatch unit has put...

Elk and antelope points only. In for deer with two points with a slight chance of drawing with the quota changes.

I have seen plenty of 3-4 year old deer that I would shoot on opening morning with a general tag. Age is not the end all be all with how big the antlers are as stated above. Shoot what makes you happy and don’t expect that everyone is unhappy with management plans just because there are not...

Shane, you should take your crossbow to the Henry’s. You can use my dads Havalon if you would like and I know a few guys that would likely help you out that know the unit really well. I have only spent about 10 days on the Henry’s about a decade ago but it is an amazing place. You are in a good...

I think they called her the banana nanny. I hunted the unit in 2014 and heard talk about her but not sure what happened to her. That was back when the unit was good. It is destroyed now. It was a super fun hunt when I had the tag.

I know the value of what is sitting in my reloading room and I can tell you that you have a small fortune set on the shelves in your pictures. The issue that you will have is that most reloaders have very specific recipes for what they load and normally don’t buy items outside of those recipes...

Cool video. Kansas in a fun place. I am hoping to draw a tag this year. Was you hunting public access land or private land?

Five bucks out in our fields tonight and all of them are still packin. Small bucks.

I killed a twin to your bull on the same unit in 2021 on the archery hunt except for opposite sided 5x6’s. He was a six year old bull. Very similar genetics. Biggest bodied elk that I have killed as well.

Same unit as slam, last year mid season. My daughters bull on day three of her hunt and she was very happy with her first elk hunt and first bull. The hunt was exactly with we thought it would be as an opportunity hunt. Age data had her bull at a four year old and that is where I had it for my...

My daughter killed this double drop tine buck a few year ago. Most unique drop tine buck that I have seen alive. My grandpa killed a big buck many years ago with a big drop tine. I dream of get one some day but I have only had a chance at one in my life and it was on a small buck with a bow in...

I put my red dot back on and put one on my sons as well. I’m hoping to hear less shooting across 300 to 800 yard canyon if I draw a tag. Fingers crossed.

Fixed 4x scopes would restrict rifles.

I spotted this buck from a long ways off with my 10x binoculars and said in my mind that if I think that I’m seeing antlers then he must be a decent buck. After a long stock I was moving into my final position when I heard a doe blow above me that I did not see. The rest of the deer below me in...
