I would suggest only use a guide if you want access to private ground. Not sure what a trespass fee would cost if it is even an option for access to Deseret ranch.

This is as real as it gets...Utah wants a team. We have already pre-approved funds for a new arena. https://www.ksl.com/article/50936222/utah-lawmakers-approve-downtown-nbanhl-arena-bill-as-they-seek-vibrant-capital

While you all are there, can you say a few Hail Mary's and put my name in the prayer bucket so that I will draw a good elk tag this year. TIA.

@wstrntines you should try hunting with family and friends sometime. I think you may like it. The success rate is something like 10% on the spike hunts. Plenty of spikes are surviving into mature bulls. The spike hunt has zero impact on the overall hurd population growth, provides a more...

And several hundred cow elk tags across several sub-areas of the big bull unit boundaries.

My guess is that not all hunters had reported their harvest in time for the publishing date of the harvest data report. The hunt ended on Jan 31st and hunters have 30 days to report their harvest.

Curious... Did the tribal harassment only occur during this 2 week hunt (9/25 thru 10/6)? Does the DWR have solid proof of the harassment? The reason I ask is because all 5 of the other buffalo hunts for this same unit after Oct 7th were 80% successful. Why would the Indian rez only harass...

The late season archery bull buffalo hunt on Henry's also had zero success. 0/5 averaging 7 hunt days. I really hope they don't give points back. It is called hunting, not killing.

Based on the article and the sentiment of most non-res hunters on this thread, the special price increase is nothing short of a smashing success. Almost all of the NR posts on this thread are happy to pay the special price and would gladly pay more to hunt elk in WY if that means hunting elk in...

right. I am not following this logic. I don't know any other western state that is charging $2000 for a general season type of elk tag where the expectation is a rag horn class bull on public land.

No doubt Liecabucks is a stand up guy but life happens and a lot can change between now and the hunt. In general I would say point sharing between strangers on the internet without monetary compensation has a fair amount of risk. It also introduces an interesting dynamic when it comes to...

So how does one make sure this guy follows through with his commitment to help a feller out for point sharing...because once the application is submitted and tags are in hands, he can ride off in to the sunset with you in his rear view mirror telling you to pound sand and nothing you can do...

If you have your heart set on the bighorns, I would at minimum find another fellow Monster Muler who has 5-8 points and offer to apply as a group if they pay your tag fees...

BTW...welcome to MM. You are a brave soul to create a brand new account and have your first post be a "give me info" thread. It has not worked out well for most who have gone down this road...especially true in the Wy section 😁

If you have max points 18 and are considering units like 38 or 39 which take about half those points 9-10, you are losing a lot of value. It is a little late for in the 2024 draw cycle but you may want to consider teaming up with an outfitter who will give you a significantly reduced (maybe...
