At no point in time has it ever been not a tall order. 350”+ on any unit in this state at any point in time has always been the exception not the rule.

Hang on guys, I’m gonna go add up how many deer this will help add to the population. Nobody say anything till I get back. Probably take at least a week to figure out how managing tags and hunters again will help deer out. I mean we’ve never done this before, it’s totally uncharted territory...

It’s a tall order. I’d give him everything time wise we could. I feel confident we’d see a bull or 3 like that but getting them killed is tough. If he wants to chat have him reach out 435-671-3024

Nebo or manti with Alpha. South cache with mossback, and don’t sleep on north slope 3 corners, but not sure who outfits it. Any northern unit is gonna be a gamble this year, but I think it’s a good gamble.

I even went and googled, he was handed a $250 fine for transporting warm blooded wildlife so illegal. He ran down a living creature, paraded it for show at a bar, and killed it after filming it for his own personal reasons, which by nearly any standard would be unethical. So. Yes, illegal and...

Man does something unethical and illegal, Tristate defends beyond reason and logic. Nothing burger here just a MM Wednesday afternoon.

This is what it takes to get me up to average. Some guys aren’t good at stuff and need all the help they can get just to be passable.

I like passing MOTL bucks. I like having a tag in my pocket to pass MOTL bucks. Give me more tags more frequently and I’ll pass more MOTL bucks like this one I passed last year. Wonder if ol bessy has ever considered that giving guys more frequent hunting opportunities would lead to less...

This is an actual thing FYI I have seen it up close and personal. Literally poof, spray of blood and gone. Little late to the convo, but I’m very interested to see how the deer fair the next 2-3 years specifically. Coming off of a monster winter/kill in 22. Into absolutely prime conditions in...

No idea, I imagine they probably fly one of the 3 sub units every year. That’s how they tackled it when I was paying more attention. Not gonna find the late archery data only one year anyways so it’s not worth much. Multi season remains a 70% and 3.something satisfaction.

SS, here’s where I, or my guys, saw the biggest concentrations of elk this year and when. I’m not discounting your experience, I heard a lot of guys say the same over the season last year, this is just mine and people around me. 120~ head face of two Tom August. 200~2nd/3rd water November 150~...

When we got finally fed up enough with the control permit debacle in 2017 I think, we said exactly the same thing in much much not nicer language. I told the biologist he was a liar and lazy on the front porch of the store one day 😎 not my finest moment. He got heated and told us to get in the...

Ol Bessy has taken a beating here. The best part? Not once have I suggested I don’t want age. I’ve literally repetitively stated that age is coming and coming quickly in large numbers. If it wasn’t I’d be 100% supportive of cutting tags and probably doing so more aggressively than suggested...
