You’re correct about other states. But the one major impact Utah has with its elk is their hands are tied on elk numbers due to agreements and legal agreements with cattlemen associations. Where are you getting your info about these units being under? The actual data still shows Utah in...

Eliminating the spike hunt will not increase bull elk numbers on the units. It may have a positive impact temporarily but longer term, they’ll kill more cows as was pointed out. Utah has a carrying capacity problem. You can’t just explode the number of bulls without consequence. As far as...

I also forgot to mention fences. That’ll take some fawns out as well. And then golden eagles. I am not sure on the Eagle part

Let’s hear everyone’s ideas about how to bring does back and how to keep more fawns alive. This thread is brought to you by slam dunk. He asked for the thread, and I’ll deliver. I’ll throw out a few of my thoughts, and slam can either confirm, or deny them since he works with Mdf. Fawns are...

Well actually slam, Troy justensen told me on the phone last year that banning baiting and trail cams was going to be a major game changer for the herds. He told me that every year we are killing the cream of the crop and that’s because of trail cams. So you see, the organizations that have...

935 doe tags, compounded by the fact that depending on the season, they’re pregnant, compounded by the fact that they may or may not have a fawn with them, turns into a lot of deer being killed. Bucks don’t have fawns there little buddy. And slam may correct me on this buuuuut does are getting...

Hunted for 60 years huh? That’s great. I am happy that you’ve had the passion longer than most people do. With how long you’ve hunted, that puts you hunting mule deer in the glory days of the species. I sincerely doubt you hunted that hard to kill the buck you wanted. Even with a 30-30. Unless...

Dog valley, find a better insult than that. Do you know how I hunt? Do you know what I kill? Do you know what my season was? Chances are, no you don’t. And you also don’t know whether or not any of my kills for this year were even on a trail camera. Or if any were over bait either.

I saw a 4 point with does by my house tonight. I venture to guess he’s alive because of no baiting and no cams. I am positive that the deer are going to continue their exploding numbers now. It started just last year with the baiting ban. They’ve already bounced back. Yes this post is...

Hossblur, it’s my general understanding his father is up north in a hospital fighting a losing battle with cancer. I assume this would explain why the parents had no clue.

I haven’t heard of them. They have a tv show or something?

Not sure if comments are the right thing here but, This hunt is superb and Mike is a hell of a guy. Jeff Dumas

Archery bull September 10th.

What a stud bull. Dconcrete shared this photo in a contest thread in the Elk Forum called, "Let's See Those Bulls!" Here...>>> https://www.monstermuleys.info/xf/threads/lets-see-those-bulls-nice-daypack-giveaway.192280/

And never mind the fact that the dedicated hunters can only kill 2 deer in 3 years.
