I've seen a handful of posts discussing the Book Cliffs but haven't seen any pictures. My dad grew up in the Uinta Basin and hunted the Book Cliffs his entire life and we grew up doing the same. I will not hunt deer any where else. I've got 8 points for the draw next year and hoping my luck will change. Lets see those pictures and hear your stories.
 
The only pics I have from last weekend are dust and dirty kids. No deer. No one in camp found one big enough last weekend.

My sister in law got a nice four point this morning, but no pics yet. I'm not sure how big he is, but I know it's no monster.

Fun hunt, lots of deer, but it's a dry, dry year out there. I pulled a road kill out of the middle of the road near a dried up water hole. No water in any of the spots where there has been plenty for the last 4 years.
 
I would rethink not hunting anywhere but the books, look at some of the other posts this year on the unit. The F&G has all but destroyed it, from what I have seen, if you get a 24 incher you are in the upper end of the bucks being taken.
 
We hunted the books 3 years ago and took two really nice nontypical bucks, but this year from what I understand I would not have traded my so. utah general tag for one in the books. Thats to bad too, when we were there we say over 100 bucks in the first two days, and lots of 25 inchers. Thanks to to many tags and no rational thining by the F&G that unit has gone way down hill.

Nice bucks. Here is a pic of my 2009 archery buck. Pretty good representative of what is out there. There are bigger but a lot of smaller ones too!

here is what some friends came home with this year on the rifle hunt.

These guys hunted hard passing hundreds of bucks. they did pass bucks that were larger on opening morning but didn't want the hunt to end on first day.

when hunting the books you got to remember it is not managed for trophy qualiy. It is managed for a good fun family hunt.

You will see some great bucks out there but you will have to dig them out!

The rifle hunt is the worst one if you want quality IMHO they get sloppy thirds.
