I was just wondering if the pioneer trek on I-15 to the happy deer hunting grounds has started? Are the quad filled toy haulers slowing making there way down the pavement? If not I'm sure it will be in full swing in the next couple of days.

I-15 here in American Fork is still flowing smoothly, they must all be at Big-O and Les Schwab getting new mud shoes and chains.

Sure glad i'm not going!!!

I'm scared to go into the grocery/hardware store down in town!!! At least I can see em' comin' though....they're all already wearing their orange. LOL

Seriously though...I'll be right there in the middle of it all on Sat. morning with my clown car loaded to the brim. My kids can't wait. Neither can I.

I am in Missouri right now and my plane lands in SLC on Friday morning. I have to head back home (sevier county) as soon as I land. It will probably take me 5 hours with all the trailers and wheelers going south!

Jenn................Nice signature!!!!!!!!!! lol
 
jenn-

It's ok not to wear your orange the day before the hunt, but you'd better be wearing that good looking Skull Krazy shirt!!!

Heber is a buzz with hunters-the smart ones are driving straight through to Colorado, the rest of us are looking for camping spots that have had trailers in them since the archery hunt.

The ATV shops are crazy, as are the tire shops. Plenty of out of state plates to keep it interesting. A few orange hats here and there, with fewer full mouths of teeth;)

Sporting goods stores are boresighting rifles that haven't been shot in years. Selling ammo like crazy, and pissing last minute tag purchasers off by the hundreds.

The busiest liquor store days of the year are upon us. Plenty of Jack's buying the yearly booze, and other vices to cure their buck fever. After all it's only once a year.

The quakies are all but bare, the smell of wet rotting leaves, coffee grounds, and wood smoke soon to fill the mountain air.

Anticipation of hearing the first shot on opening morning, the welcomed warmth of deer blood on your cold hands.

Ah yes, it's hunting season in Utah!
 
Great graphic post prism, now i DO wish i was going!

It was your quote about the smell of the rotting aspen leaves and oh yes.....that wonderful smell of camping coffee!!

I quit hunting the general season for a few reasons. Way to many people on one hunt at one time. The rifle hunt is a joke here in the state of utah. I have had not one but two deer stolen on the rifle hunt. The first deer I shot on the rifle hunt I guy ran down the hill to claim my trophy for me. We got in a big fight over it and I finally just got fed up and told him he could keep my trophy If that would make him feel better. The second deer I shot and got it back to camp, went to town for a little while and when I got back it was gone. Some dickwad stole my deer. I'm not trying to pick on red necks but it seems like there is about 5000 more red necks on the rifle hunt and I hate road hunting red necks with a passion. The whole road hunting thing with the bench in the back of the truck and drinking and driving is something that I strongly disagree with. I used to love the rifle hunt but with all the people and presure it is not worth it to me anymore. I would say that the muzzle loader is probley my favorite hunt. Sorry to complain and be negtive about the rifle hunt but that is my opion on "Utah's great rufle hunt" everyone who is going have a great time and take lots of warm clothing becuase you will need it this weekend.
 
Someone actually got shot at last year and my cousin has gotten into it over a buck or two as well. I haven't hunted general season in Utah since 1995. That was down in Southern Utah though because they'd closed The Book Cliffs and we hadn't ever hunted any other place during deer season. We still feel kinda lost. We're not even camping. Just hunting from the house. I really, really, really miss those deer hunting seasons of my youth.

CRY CRY CRY..... most likely you guys are transplant res's... the local people i hunt with would never whine like this! 35 years in the southern section... i'm still happy to go! yeah! its changed! what doesn't!

BUT... if any of you tough guys would like to insult me to my face, i'll be in beaver, white truck, pulling a trailer with 3 quads.. come right on up to me... tell me howa feel..

just reading your trash tells me how far Utah Deer hunting has fallen.... TRANSPLANTS, WHATA GONNA DO?

whatever buddy I have no problem with anyone from sanpete county. My wifes family is from fountain green.
 
I'm from Salt Lake County and I am heading South.

It would be funny chit if us Salt Lakers didn't let you Nephites into our back yard for shopping, football, Jazz games, etc. You get my point.

Peace out boys. Its this overall beotch attitude you both show that has ruined the hunt. In 1985 there were 241,000 nimrods in the hills in Utah. This weekend there will be just under 90,000.
 
LIKE I SAID!

FIND ME? one post where folks are bashing the Utah Muzzle hunt? or the Utah stick gun hunt?

so what gives! yes its crowded! so what! i've lost a couple of deer on a coin toss... so what!

i really hope someday someone teaches your ignorant ass about hunting... ALL HUNTING....

BTW... MY LAST REPLY TO YOU! E.S.
 
alwayzbhuntin (moderator)

thank you moderator for cleaning up my post... i'd like to say i'm sorry..

with all the anti hunting groups and organizations out there, reading this... on this forum... well i just got bent!

i hope everyone hunting has enjoyable, safe hunt! Utah is my only choice, when it comes to hunting! i'll not go anywhere else... well; except to Califonia to hunt wild pigs! ( what a hoot that is)
 
Holy Crap people get out of control on this site. I think the start of this thread was in jest! It is all in FUN!

WHy does everyone always have to start a huge fight with EVERY DAMN thread on this site?????????????????????????

I think we need to all chill out!
 
The REAL circus is over at the elk forum. All it lacks is a tent. Pro seems to be the ringmaster. Take a read of all of that pathetic diatribe. mtmuley
 
I really love being out on opening day, right in the thick of the "sea of orange". Maybe it's because I scout so much during the summer in some really remote places and during the archery and muzzy hunts, I see very few hunters. It just makes me feel goood to come across some poor sucker that has only seen three doe all day and point out to him that 4 point a mile away, bedded under a pine and then seeing a big smile come across his face after he finishes looking through my spotting scope at it. I wish him luck and I keep on moving to the next ridgetop.
 
KTC.....

I hate to admit it, but it is like watching a car wreck....you know you shouldnt watch....you just can not turn away.....haha

I think that I just should walk away and not read all the same old crap on every thread........but yet I just keep coming back!!! What is wrong with me...........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)
 
Well, this clown is joining the circus tomorrow. In the morning I'm out of here and I can't wait to hear the fireworks going of on Saturday morning. Hopefully my gun will be one of them. Man, I love this time of year. Good luck everybody and be safe!
 
With the weather that's coming in, someone oughta start a pool to see how many times Search and Rescue is called out over the weekend....
 
Wow,

my post was meant in fun guys, not to get some of you guys out to fight. Anyways, if you look statistically, there are less people hunting than just a few years ago, but as you can see the attitudes remain the same. Anyway, we will be out hunting and I wish you luck. If we do run into you face to face I really dont want to fight, and you can even have my deer if you put up enough of a stink.

I will be joining the truck parade this p.m. NO QUAD!

To each there own. Everyone have a great time - be safe - and lets see those photos next week!!!!
 
No parade from me as I am already in Manti, but my brother and dad are coming down today and then bright and early in the morning we are on the quads to our hunting area, parking the quads and hoofing it.

quads are great for getting to your area where it's legal. Then parking and off you go on foot to find bambi's dad.
 
LAST EDITED ON Oct-19-07 AT 09:11PM (MST)[p]Prism,

Great advice! I am taking your words of wisdom and I am "Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'"

I think this will be my first Utard deer opener missed since I was 16, 26 long years ago. The winds are changed and I am Colorado bound! Piss on Utard and their 12 forkies per 100 does. :)
 
I didn't say anything about forkies?

Looking forward to seeing some more Utah bucks like 257s.

But, I'm really looking forward to seeing what CO produces this year. I think we're about to see a lot of 200" bucks coming from our neighbor to the east. Maybe the best year yet.......

Let's see some pics!
