Manti archery elk tag winner

Hello All of you Manti Pro's..

I am the lucky winner of the Manti archery elk tag given away last year at the "King of the Rockies" archery tournament.

Well I will soon be putting down the Hoyt UltraElite (money makin target bow) and putting my Swarovski ATS 80 to work.

I have a question for all of you that have hunted or know the Manti. What direction would you point a guy to find a good bull worthy of the 18k that the fine folks at SFW forked out to obtain my coveted permit? So, if you hunted it in the last year or so where would you have wanted to spend more time? When was the best time time of the hunt?

I am not looking to sit on your lucky rock or hang out in your treestand. I am just looking to hike my tail off into somewhere remote and see a nice bull. Or just see him off of the road if that ever happens. And then eventually run an Easton FMJ powered by Hoyt through his chest of course.

So any tips, pointers or areas to stay away from would be gratefully appreciated. I have been on the Manti a lot, but not for a few years.

Looking forward to you responce.

Kevin,

Congrats on the tag! I'll keep an ear out and let you know if I hear anything. I'll vouch for this guy as he is a great guy and although brand new to the forum deserves our help and insight.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-16-07 AT 01:42PM (MST)[p]Send me an email at [email protected]. I might be able to give you a little info. I had a rifle tag in 2004 and have spent quite a bit of time on the Manti.
 
To be completely honest I would start by contacting the boys @ Black Timber. There is noooooo substitute for years of first hand experience in an area.

Just an FYI.. The info given above to start at the Muddy Drainage below the Heliotroope is the worst advice ive seen yet. That was given to you cause the guy that said that knows that is where the state record was killed a few years back.. (during the Rifle season) Good Luck but I would stay as far to the north end of the Manti unit as possible. Above Fairview..
 
milky,

I can't believe you wouldn't call hogie and I, before asking strangers. The way I look at it, we owe you a couple of days because you helped us in '03. Where is the love?

I like the southern end as well. Less crowded and holds plenty of good bulls. I would look up 12 mile canyon, just stay on the south side of the road up by Beaver Creek and Clear Creek. Good luck.

Like I said... I won it at the the Rocky Mtn. Huntin' Show last fall. I did not buy it. It was an archery tournament and the first place prize was a Manti archery elk tag.
 
He missed a dandy twice on video (had some rest issues) and then killed a 310ish bull on the second to last day. I am glad he killed it cuz it would have ran me over.
