You got three shots at the same un-wounded animal? That's pretty impressive. You must be pretty fast at reloading.

You won't have a tag in your pocket every year anyway. It may improve for a year or two, but after the rifle guys figure out that it is taking 8-10 years to draw a rifle Gen Deer tag, they will all make a mass exodus back to the muzzleloader hunt like a dog to its vomit. It's a nice thought...

FWIW, I recently spoke to a close family member of one of the WB, and he sounded very confident that they were going back to old regs (1x scopes). Whether or not the committee recommendation changes that remains to be seen.

It is only a recommendation at this point. The WB makes the final call. I will say that I absolutely hate the COR option. If you will allow a 1x for COR, you should allow it for all. Same with cross bows. CORs are easily obtained. If the board really wants to choke down on muzzies, they...

Just a reminder that elk muzzleloader hunts already are after the elk rifle hunts.

Makes sense. I participated in a muzzleloader scope survey a couple of weeks ago from the DWR. Is that something that was sent out by the committee or was it initiated elsewhere? Do you know the results of that survey? I was not impressed with the wording of the survey. It seemed geared to...

I thought you said you were going to vote for 4x.

I was a little late getting my trail cameras retrieved this year, and now one of them is missing. It is a Bushnell Trophy Cam in a camo pattern. It was set up in Central Utah. It might of had some pictures of a sweet velvet 6-point with big sweeping thirds. If anyone has come across a camera...

Slam, I pointed this out in the other thread that if the goal is to limit the effective range of a muzzleloader to 250 yards, then a 1x/open sights would be the way to do it (I agree with your statement). Whether you shoot a 40, 45, 50, 54, $10,000 custom or $200 from Walmart, it doesn't...

Sorry guys. There are no deer down here in Southern Utah. They all died. I guess you'll just have to stay away from here now that you know that. Really unfortunate. Darn!

Yes, you're right about that! In fact, Romney might be worse if that is possible. It's embarrassing really! Shame on Utah! And for the record, he NEVER got my vote!

I keep reading the argument that Utah should fall in line with neighboring states in terms of muzzleloader scopes. So if Utah should try to be more like neighboring states, does that mean that we should hunt deer well into November like Colorado or start hunting them with a rifle in mid...

But it looks so easy on instagram!!!

Well, some of you did. Others just got their names added to a backorder list because that's what happens when everybody in the entire state suddenly needs the same thing at the same time.

Can I be on the committee now?!
