The spike elk hunting on the Bookcliffs has destroyed the elk hunt on those two units.

Kind of strange the private landowners can still have cameras out. Maybe a wildlife board member had something to do with that? I'm for rights, but this is fishy.

Obviously many of you hunt different areas than I do. No cell service where I go. Nothing being sent to my phone. If you don't all realize this is just one more step against hunting in general. It don't seem like a big deal, then next year or two the dates change. Then an all together ban...

Found a pair of binoculars in a road this fall. Left them on the side of the road where I found them sitting on some rocks I stacked so hopefully the owner would return and find them. They were gone a few hours later. Don't know if the right person found them, but hope so. Found a bedroll in...

This hunt is a joke. From someone who spends a lot of time on this unit, there are few deer and to make a hunt to kill the few deer that remain is simply not sound management. There will be a good buck killed once in a while, but I can only hope that the hunters who draw this tag will not...

Still a week or so away from being able to drive to the trailhead at the top of Sego. Was there yesterday and it still is drifted in on top.

There have been many people wait 20 years to have a chance at a 350 type bull on the Bookcliffs. 5-6 years ago, that was possible. Now a chance for a 350 bull is slim at best. Why, because of the spike hunt. Get rid of the spike hunt, the draw odds will go back to less than 20 years to draw...

It all depends on what type of hunt you want. The packing in and hunting from horses is what you want as the experience, the roadless Bookcliffs can be a fun hunt. If you are wanting a truly big bull, I'm sorry to say the Bookcliffs is going to be tough. As someone who hunts the Bookcliffs...

The Bookcliffs elk are in trouble. As someone who spent over 100 days on the unit hunting and or scouting this year alone. Over the past 25 years I have spent close to that many days on the unit each year as well. For several decades the DWR drew somewhere around 200 big bull tags each season...

If you have 17 points this year and the people who put in last year put in again and no other people in your point area were to put in, you have 13 applicants ahead of you for 10 tags and will have 12 with 17 this year. I know that is not realistic to say people won't change were they apply...

Let the DWR hear about the point creep and now allowing spike hunters to hunt all three seasons. Even if it only results in 5 more spikes to be harvested this year in the roadless, that is 5 more mature bull tags that can't be issued in 5-6 years.

We do offer pack in service as well as getting you out. Permitted, licensed and insured for the Bookcliffs and it's out back yard. Look us up at huntwithgtoutfitters.com and give me a call and we can talk about exactly what you are thinking.

I have bought some extra heavy duty canvas tarps online and they seem to work the best for me. The ones I bought were coated with a water repellent that smelled some when first used, but that has gone away for the most part. I got the last ones from myteeproducts.com. I do have one tent with...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-19-16 AT 10:38PM (MST)[p]Thanks for the kind words. I just got finished putting the cd's of the photos we took in envelopes to send to you two. Sorry for the delay. Between the buffalo hunt and the late elk hunt, we got sidetracked and we just realized they hadn't been sent...

Last year, the fish in She Canyon from the junction of Bogart and She finally are looking big enough to catch. Haven't fished it in several years, but I did see enough fish to perk my interest once again. I don't know I would consider any of the Bookcliffs a blue ribbon fishery, but a fishable...
