RE: Lets see some 340 bulls 342 wasatch 2008 early rifle. it was a great time.

lots of private ground...even more hunters. i went up mud flats last year and counted 43 rigs on the way down, from the top to the bottom. unbelievable. saw lots of does, 1 small 2pt. on the ground. in my opinion, WAY too many tags for the area. talking with the others last year hunting there...

Ok now I see them. Sorry. When I looked before I was at work...maybe there was a block and they didn't come up. Pretty tight restrictions where I work when it comes to computers. Anyway now I see them. Always a possibility I suppose, but it doesn't look like anywhere near where I shot the bull...

i cant see the pics. did they get removed?

i got burned. i found a 27' 4x4 right on the side of highway 40, near the wallsburg turnoff. it was obviously roadkill, but it was down off the road on a steep-ish hill, behind the concrete barriers. it was only about 15' off the highway, just hidden by the barrier and the slope of the hill. i...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-22-13 AT 06:49AM (MST)[p]i have said it before, and i will say it again. i think the wasatch is the best unit there is. as stated before by many others, you may not see the biggest bulls, but there are lots of elk. i also like the diversity of the unit, from sage to quakies to...

my favorite is the 220 swift. i looked for years to find the 1 i have now. it is really good. it just punches a hole clean through without any blowout at all. drops them dead in the dirt. 2nd favorite is 25/06. i also have shot the 223 but sometimes it isnt enough to kill them dead, i have lost...

there is nothing worse than wasted timeon a hunting show. i was watching fred eichler last night and he was branding a young bull, then giving it an injection for something, then castrating it and showing the jewels to the camera. why? i enjoy watching him shoot coyotes(or anyone for that...

i also drew 3rd choice. kamas general buck tags for me and my son. we are happy for them, i dont think anyone else in my family drew anything. come on october

thanks guys. it is a way cool bull....definitely my once in a lifetime. it was alot of fun. shot on opening day at 56 yards. i had seen it before so it was 1 of 3 that i knew i would shoot.

LAST EDITED ON May-21-12 AT 03:37PM (MST)[p]here is my 2008 wasatch early rifle bull. he scored 342 and change. not the biggest one i saw, but character is a tradeoff for score sometimes, right? i know the unit is not the same as it was 4 years ago, but you should still be able to find and shoot...

i think at least talking to them and see what their thoughts were would be the thing to do. definitely not worth fighting with someone over an animal, but they may have graciously acknowledged they didnt want to see it wasted, we are glad you could find it and claim it, etc. but you never know...

i also have a 220 swift in remington 700. sendero style composite stalk, heavy barrel, very nice weapon. i just got it this year and i absolutely love it. it is the gun of a lifetime, the 1 i have wanted for years but didnt have the luck to find 1 when i had some $ to spend on 1. the stars...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-05-12 AT 02:22PM (MST)[p]sorry the pic did not turn out super clear. this was the 2nd of 2 my brother in law and i got this year. the first stand he shot 1 at about 100 yards, coming in hot. this 1 was mine shot at 60 yards, coming in hot. it was the first shot i had fired at...

success!!! i often succeed when i am too dumb and stubborn to give up.
