Ha, I was gonna say the same thing. Best movie ever.

I had the tag last year and ate it, but it was mostly due to inexperience. I had never hunted elk before and didnt have anyone to help me out. That being said, I was able to call in a couple that I passed on. My experience with crowds was similar to what was said earlier. I passed people on...

Really appreciate the comments guys. It's nice to get constructive criticism that will help me next time! I guess I need to hope to get an expo tag. Not sure I can handle waiting to draw another state issued one!

Thanks for the advice guys! I kind of suspected I was being too cautious in closing the distance. This was an expensive lesson to learn having spent a bunch of points on a hunt to come out with nada. Hopefully I can get lucky in the next several years and give it another shot. Anymore tips...

I dont think I'm experienced enough on the unit to corroborate the cow population, but I can tell you I saw very few cows where I was. The herd I stumbled upon was really the only large group I saw. I maybe saw 2-3 other cows the whole trip. As far as running into other hunters, I would see...

Hi Guys, Just got back from the Wasatch muzz hunt and ended up eating my tag. This was my first elk hunt and I felt pretty over my head as far as knowing anything about elk and knowing how to call. The calls I was using were a Hoochie Mama, a Hyperlip Double, and a Baffler Bugle. The...

Hi Guys, I have been up on the Wasatch unit with a muzzle loader tag. It seems like all the elk have stopped bugling. When this happens, what strategies would you suggest? I'm new to elk hunting and have no idea what to do now. Will the bulls still respond to cow calls? If I were to sit...

Funny, I bought the same gun the day before I busted the bone. I think you guys have talked me in to going. Right now I can't shoot, but I'm sure I can get someone to go up with me to sight it in. Even had one offer from a total stranger on here to help me pack it out. There are some pretty...

Browning. . . I did that guy a favor last year!

I sure appreciate the comments guys. I'm still pretty torn on what to do. I don't think I'll be able to pack much out and have no idea what kind of support I'll have from friends and family. It's a lot to ask people to come out with the full expectation of having them pack out an animal...

Hi Guys, I've had some crappy luck over the last year or so. Last year I drew a Wasatch Muzz elk tag and was pretty pumped to hunt. A few weeks before the hunt I broke my collar bone in a mountain biking wreck and had to turn the tag in. I was lucky enough to draw the tag again this year...

Sorry for the late response but thank u for the info!

Anyone know if the ice is off yet or have an idea as to much longer it'll be around?

Hi Guys, I have 9 points for elk and a friend of mine wants to put in as a group for the Wasatch muzz hunt. I'm pretty sure he doesnt have any points though. I know this impacts my odds of drawing, but I'm not totally sure how the math works. Are my odds of drawings essentially cut in half...

This is my favorite part of the article: "(James') death was a senseless tragedy," Osborn said. "Senseless because it could have been avoided." I was thinking the same thing. . . coulda been avoided. Avoided by not charging a cop. Could the officer have done anything to escalate it? I...
