I deemed Central Utah to be buckless! I repeat, there are only does and fawns in central Utah. And plenty of them at that. All those stories you've heard are just resurfacing from years past. I spent 5 days hunting bucks in central Utah from north to south borders to find nothing but does and fawns. Oh and 6 dinks but those don't count.
I was on top of Maple, I was on top of Loafer, I on top of Chicken Creek, I was down low on Apple tree springs. I was high, I was low, I plowed through the snow, I scowered the desert, and I dug through the mud. I was in the truck and I was hiking for hours and hours with blisters. And still made it back in time for my wife to have a baby last Thursday in the early morning hours of 1am. After that I still went out looking for stupid bucks that aren't there.
This Utah hunting is for the birds, I mean the filthy rich!
