I disagree with your point about crossbows. I am a life long (now old) bow hunter. I had and used a COR for a couple years because of serious back injuries. I went back to my bow asap, against my Dr.s advice and I still use it. I had a $2000. Tenpoint crossbow as it had a built in cocker...

If things get restricted too much, that wont stop people from trying to keep their longer ranges with any weapon types. It will indeed increase the number of wounded animals by magnitudes. Especially bowhunters (I am one of them) If you make everyone go to traditional bows the wounding rate...

Me too...especially if we can make it retroactive, to say about 30 years ago. Moved here in the last 30 years? No resident tags for you. I am sure this will go over terribly, but I would still be all for it. People, far too many people, are what has happened to our deer herds. No technology...

Well said. In my opinion the biggest issue we have, has nothing to do with any weapon. We simply have far too many people coming into this state. I was born and raised here. I can't even explain how exponentially we have grown. I used to live in a small town that was mostly orchards, I now live...

Very nice buck.

Excellent post Oneye. I agree with all of it.

I wouldn't hesitate to take the shot, as long as I knew the range for sure. I would aim at the far left shoulder, straight up the far leg. Haven't missed a shot on any big game animal, since I wounded and lost one in the early 90s. I swore that would never happen again and practiced like a man...

I always say this, mostly because I spent a lot of time, and a bit of money, testing arrows and broad-heads. But in my opinion a VPA broad-head can't be beat. I like the 150 grain, 3 blade, non-vented version myself. Super easy to resharpen, and milled from a single piece of steel, everyone is...

I am 60 and have bow-hunted since I was a teenager. I know that I am in the huge minority, but I don't use a peep at all, never have. Never could get used to one when they came out. I do use a tied knot as a kisser button. I then line up my string with a line on my sight housing. I consider...

Just had a card hit for 2 deer tags for my son and I, like 5 minutes ago. It's not over yet. Also just got one of our letters already.

Life long Utah resident.

We went to our local sporting goods store and bought a tag. It's not been that damn long since that was literally the way it worked. I could be wrong, but I have no memory of any paper apps. There was an internet before there were draws for general deer and elk tags. Apparently you either don't...

Works great for me. Water, power, food. If Utah were to run our state this way, we don't need anything from anyone. So. Cal may be screwed when we cut off the water we send them, as well as the electricity that comes from here. Every bit of gas that has ever been in my vehicle was refined in...

I have been an archer for 50+ years, other than for birds, a bow is all I hunt with. Now my son wrestled all throughout his school years, so in order to be able to hunt, he hunted with a muzzle-loader. The season dates worked better for him and his wrestling schedule. He grew to enjoy the...
