Awesome! Congrats to you both!

Maybe they paid for the exposure, and/or discounted the fee for the hunter based on having it filmed and put on KSL. I have no idea and really have no dog in this fight at all, just a thought. If that's the case I'm sure that's a negative in many people's eyes as well, just more $$ ruling the...

Awesome bull, and the hunter (have no idea, going only on this video) seems like a normal dude and hopefully enjoyed the experience, drawing a Sportsman tag would be incredible! I'll echo Founder, what is the illegal part of all this? Not trying to start some argument, just feel like I must be...

That is for sure! Just like when I had a goat tag, for years the plan was to shoot one with a bow, "these things are dumb, shouldn't be too hard." Couple days into the hunt..."give me that rifle!" haha

I ended up able to hunt 10 of the 12 days of the muzzleloader season, didn't fill the tag. I could have shot a handful (though way fewer of those "chances" than I expected going in) of small bulls, only laid eyes on a couple the whole time that I felt like would break 300", though that is...

I do think the mid season is looking to be money this year. I've killed plenty of spikes by chasing bugles in October over the years even on "normal" rut years, with whatever his happening this year they could be really going next week. I'm headed back tomorrow for the last three days of...

Haha well hey man, mine was getting pretty itchy towards the end of the week too and I’m definitely not 14! Hope you guys have a great hunt. That mid season tag might be the best one this year! Good luck!

Good luck! Love those nasty spots up there to be honest, so much of the unit has so much traffic, not just hunters but all the campers, etc too. Obviously not telling anyone new info here, haha, just saying I love the chance to get away from all that! Hope you kill him and post the pics!

Tell me where that one is!! lol, kidding, kidding

I spent the last 7 days on the Wasatch with a muzzleloader tag in my pocket. Definitely tough sledding compared to previous years for me at least, I've hunted the unit every year (spikes, cows, deer, other guys' bull tags) for close to 20 years now. That makes me feel old! Haha! First couple...

Lots of subjects being tossed around here, appreciate you Karl for coming on and answering a bunch of questions, you're a brave man! I just have one comment about bonus points, you'd mentioned that you feel that UT's system is the most fair and I don't disagree. I do sometimes feel like a...

I hunted with Larsen Bay Lodge in 2019. Mike Carlson (owner) has native ties which allows access to some otherwise off limits areas of the island. It's a transporter hunt for deer, no guiding, but that was exactly what I was looking for. The lodge is nice, food is good, people are great...

Lots of great posts here. Shoot (or don't) what makes you happy, and for the reasons that make you happy. I'm not a big social media fan and I'm not sure it's a net positive, but even still if what makes you happy is killing a 200" buck and posting in on Instagram, if that's your motivation...

hahaha good eye, sure is! Took a handful of shots to seal the deal and one of them got the horn!

Based on everything I was able to find out going in and what we saw scouting and hunting I felt like we did ok. I know we had a good time! My dad's turned out to be a younger buck that looked a little better from a long ways off vs when we put our hands on him, but a good looking deer either...
