Just got a call from Utah Div. of Wildlife. Someone turned their tag in, and I'm the alternate; have to decide by tomorrow morning. Being a nonres. with only 7 points, I think the decision is pretty simple. I heard the area is thick, and I'm not likely going to get a chance to check it out. Also, I'm not sure if I can get the whole week off of work on short notice. What's the chance for success on a 330+ bull with 5 days to hunt? Any advice or comments on this hunt would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It holds some great bulls.... Very flat and thick Juniper trees with reseeds. I am sure if you know where to look, or get a ton of snow 330 should be doable.

Five days is alot of time if you use it right. I would take the tag if I only had 7 points invested. You maybe 7 more before you draw again.
Good luck.

Take the tag. You would be stupid not to. I hunted the late management hunt two years ago and saw some awesome bulls. We killed two 5 points that went over 330 and saw a half a dozen bigger that we could not hunt. The unit is huge and there are tons of elk. The bull to cow ratio is way high. Take the tag!! Shoot me a pm and I'll give you more info.
I'm taking the tag. Looking at the odds, it would probabbly take me 7 more years to draw it. Now I've got to decide what to do concerning a CO deer tag I was really looking foward to. Hopefully I can do both. Going to look over some maps and I'll PM those that are willing to help.

Cancel colorado, get a refund, or donate the money and keep your points....
Put your time into getting to know your bull hunt, maximize your opportunity! what are the hunt dates?
When I hunted NV231 in 2005, there were a good number of bulls being pushed to Utah from NV.....we kept seeing them at night when heading back to camp.....that was early november thhough
Good luck
