Oquirr stansburry help !

Regarding Ophir Canyon...

Word is that the three biggest landowners up there and in areas around Rocky Peak are finally going to crack down on getting their private land protected and enforced. Just beware. Try to catch the elk on the blocks of public. And just be glad you don't have that as an archery tag...

Good luck.
 
Just seen too many people eat their tag on the archery in that unit.

Yeah, physically tough, but that's just part of it. It's the combination of tough terrain, and then finding shooter bulls that are spread thin or on private. Have to work very hard for just a small number of encounters. Archery usually takes multiple encounters before the angle, wind, and terrain (trees) all come together. This unit is just tough for all that to be successful.

Success past two years was 20%, and had bottom 3 in hunter satisfaction. Yeah, there are a couple of worse units, but I just don't think it's worth the points or 5 year waiting period.
 
My bet would be on the Oquirrhs. Just not seeing numbers of elk on the Stansburys. Although, some of the biggest bulls have been taken off the Stansburys, or intercepting bulls returning to the Stansburys after feeding in the valley. But that's probably going to be real tough.

Oquirrhs have better numbers and selection. Still, gonna have to work around the property issues, as mentioned.
