Congrats on some sweet tags. Darrell here from KS. I've misplaced your phone number but I'll shoot you an email! That Utah elk tag has me very envious, especially since CO seems intent on not letting me know if I drew that 76 tag I'm after.

Doubt it would have helped. My Deer and Elk points are still showing the same as last year. Everyone on the sites are saying credit cards are getting hit before points are changing.

FYI I'm headed out for the day so best to message or email me and I'll get back to you tonight or tomorrow.

Hey, I ended up with a SPOT and used it for my September hunt. My registration runs out on the 30th but I can extend it for more October. It was nice to be able to send my wife an OK message once I was back at camp each night. However, If someone wanted to help offset my expenses, say $60 I...

Guess I missed that notice. :) I'm still surprised these sites don't get cyber attacked. Guess that is part of the maintenance to make sure they don't.

I know its a competition website but wondered if anyone here knew what was happening. i've always, thought MM, Bowsite and other hunting sites would be targets for PETA and others for attacks so the message "We apologize for the inconvenience: We need to take Bowsite offline for a few days. As...

That certainly adds a piece to the puzzle. I'm sure there are a multitude of issues involved but it is a crying shame they let a good area get as bad as it is.

Ok, I know about the land swap many years ago and I know the animals bail off the side of the North Rim when people show up, but I was up there on Tuesday and did 80 miles on an ATV, checked numerous water holes, hiked off the rim to a spring 1000' below and didn't see a single elk and very few...

Headed up on Tuesday. I have a plan of where to go but it's almost exclusively what I remember from my Dad. I would still love to visit with anyone who has more current knowledge of the area.

By going in the North End, I assume you mean through San Mateo? I'll have a friend's ATV and the weather report for the next ten days shows things drying up. I fly out the next day so I will not take too much risk.

OK, I know the unit has been hammered and is no where near what it used to be. However, I did my first elk hunts there in 1989 and 1990 and I lived in Grants as a kid going up on the mountain with my dad. Right before the draw deadline, I got a wild hair and put 9 as my 3rd choice and I will...

Hey I recognize that one tree on the right. Thanks for letting me know he's there. :) A little less than 37 hours for me. Of course I also have 800 miles to cover.

Last year they had maps. I called the forest service and they emailed me a pdf of the boundaries.

Except that in the "closure" you aren't even allowed to hike. How that is enforced, I don't know but I'm sure the elk are loving the closure so hunting around its perimeter should be very good.

So the question is should he have been a spike but had some really good genetics & feed or should he have been a raghorn and a lion did some selective culling for the herd? I'm guessing the latter.
