I have been going through hunting withdrawals the last week and a half so I thought I'd reminisce on the past year by writing a season recap. This might be a little long but I hunted a ton this year right down to the last day of 2014. 2014 was a wild ride that unfortunately left me eating...

sent you a pm

if they combine all deer points into one pool how will that affect the LE elk draw? As residents we can only put in for one LE species. THe way the current system is I hunt general deer so I can build elk points. If all deer units are considered LE units then no residents will be able to hunt...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-06-14 AT 12:54PM (MST)[p]way to stick with it and get it done my friend... when I heard shots that morning I was hoping they were from you! And you got it done on a solid buck too! CONGRATS!!!!

elkfromabove is completely right. I did this last year and called the dwr and verified it. Good luck!

I completely agree. The sign is definitely lacking in information. I wish it would have said something about this being a change from previous years. I have literally busted my balls to try and get this resolved since the beginning of June and I have been very frustrated at how the DWR has...

I actually caught this change back in the beginning of June. I was going to the proclamation to show a coworker that the Wasatch Front extended area is actually an open bull unit during the general hunt. When I looked at the proclamation I couldnt believe my eyes that they had actually changed...

not trying to stir the pot or add to your bow dilemma but I picked up a new prime alloy this winter and shot it side by side with the hoyt faktor (which I thought was the bow for me). Well, the day my shop, Wilde Arrow (great shop btw), had both in stock in lefty I went and shot both side by...

the bull I shot wasnt previously wounded. I watched him spar all day long with another bull that looked like his twin brother. My buddy got a shot on the twin but his arrow deflected off of a branch and he missed cleanly. that being said the other bull didnt exhibit signs of being wounded...

I was looking through success rates for the wasatch front extended archery deer and elk hunts. It looks as if success rates are abysmal for harvesting a buck or bull. It looks as if the archery bull elk on the extend has about a 1% success rate. 1 in 100 tags is filled with a bull. The buck...

Oh hey John, good to see you join MM. Its fun reading the hunting stories and seeing the pictures on the forums... I think you will enjoy it. I guess I haven't talked to you for a few weeks... but yeah the last month has been very productive for me. I am super proud of this my first archery...

Short story: Very first archery season and first archery mule deer taken on the Wasatch extended unit on public land. I made a 45 yard quartering-to-me shot and put the buck down in about 15 seconds and no more than 30 yards from the scene. I got a complete pass through with the ulmer edge and...

General question... I have never been out hunting very much while it has been snowing. The weekend forcast is calling for it so my question is will deer (bucks) stay out feeding while the snow is dumping or will they seek shelter like they do when it is raining? In my experience deer bed when...
