2006 Utah Elk Hunting

songdog · Jan 27, 2006

I've got a question for you salty elk hunters from Utah. As a Utah non-resident, the odds are overwhelming that someone (even with several bonus points) will draw a limited entry bull elk tag/license. However, there are some opportunities with better odds (slim) to draw a limited entry bull tag in the late hunt dates.

My question is, Are the late limited entry elk hunts any good since they are from November 11-17? I know the quality of bulls in these units are excellent, just wondering how hard it is to hunt them.... Got any recommendations on any of the better elk units. I know just by looking at the numbers of applicants from last year which units are the most popular (for good reason). I don't want anyone's favorite honey hole just some knowledgable and honest conversation/information. It may be a long, long time before I'll ever draw a tag there anyway....

Oh, and, no smart a?? comments, please.....

For $5.00, at least start getting some preference points. You don't need to pick a unit to get a point.
Good luck.

Lien2, don't you mean "Bonus" points? There is a big difference between preferance and bonus points. Preferance points don't even apply to LMTD elk.

If you have less than 5 points the late hunts are the way to go!!

Late hunts had GREAT odds for NR, you better believe everyone has seen this and they will not be near as good this year, I think there will be at least 50% more apps. for these tags from NR. I know I seriously looked at them but went for a muzzleloader hunt since it fit in good with other hunts I should be doing at the same time.
