    Utah Muzzy hunt optics changes for 2024 Poll

    I still own my Hawkins .50. Shoots great, but I do love my CVA Accura MR. I prefer the muzzy hunt to be more challenging. I don’t think red dots or 1x restrict you too much. My dad harvested his 2015 LE Muzzy elk at 250 yards with a red dot. I wasn’t trying to start a debate. Just wanted the...

    CVA Accura LRX or MRX ?

    I have a CVA Accura MR in .50. Love the gun. I shoot a a 250gr Barnes T-EZ with Blackhorn Powder. Shot my last mule deer at 300 yards. I love the MR due to it's shorter barrel. The new models have a threaded barrel and there is a nice after market brake you can add to it. My little brother...

    Too early for the rut?

    Bulls starting sounding off during the night this past weekend in central Utah. The daytime was dead due to 99 on the thermostat all day. This heat wave is insanely hot.

    Too early for the rut?

    Been chasing elk with my bow in central Utah and most of the big bulls are not with the cows. I watched 40 head of cows and calves in one nursery herd with no spikes or branch antlered bulls around.

    Today’s Limited Entry Elk Units

    Really when you break it down to score, the difference between a 350" bull and a 360" bull is 5 inches more on the G5. With the prolonged drought throughout the west, it doesn't take much to reduce antler growth. It may not be accurate, but just an observation that I see more broken bulls...

    CC hits

    Sherlock, that was back when you could buy a statewide deer permit for rifle, archery and muzzleloader. Of course muzzleloader was ball and cap. A lot less people lived in the state though and I-15 was a two lane road.

    I recall when the draw system first started the results were posted at your local DWR office. You had to wade through a mosh pit to see the board, then search for your draw information. Fun stuff.
