    Manti Muzzleloader Bulll

    Good gawd, nobody posts pics anymore. 23 years of wait and if someone told me this is what I was bringing home, I would have laughed. I’m still not really sure what happened as I have hunted a long time but thought this Bull was bigger but also wondering if I shot the wrong one. Spent the first...

    Manti 2023

    Curious if anyone has been out on the Manti this year and if anybody has been seeing any good bulls and what the overall conditions are this year? Planning a trip over in a few weeks but just curious if anyone has any info on this. Getting a little anxious for the hunt I guess!?

    Manti Muzzleloader Elk

    Well, got the email I have been waiting 23 years for. I will be hunting the Manti with my Muzzleloader at the end of September for Elk. My Dad had an Early Rifle tag in 2013 and he ended up getting his on Skyline Drive up above Fairview. I wouldn’t say I know the unit really well but have a...

    Utah Draw Date?

    So, now that I’ve applied and deadline is near, does anybody have any insight as to when the actual draw is and when we might know as far as card charges? Just curious with them pushing the deadline back this year if that will affect that part as well. In the past it’s usually been the 2nd week...

    RELH Knives

    Winter kill 2023

    While we wait for proposals and draw deadline, I was curious to know if anybody has heard how the elk herds have faired this year? Planning on putting in for Manti and my buddy said he heard that the elk around Fairview had been hit with the hard winter. Maybe it’s not true but was just curious...

    2023 Elk options

    Ok. I know these questions probably get old especially to those who know certain units really well but curious what people think. I have 22 NR points. Been holding out for Manti early but not fond of the new 5 day hunt. One freak storm or vehicle problem sure throws a monkey wrench. I’d like a...

    Elk Antler stink after Dermistid Beetles

    Not sure this will get as many views here but here it goes. Had a local guy do a European mount on my daughters first Bull. He had it 3 weeks is all and has the beetles.

    Daughters Late Season Bull

    My daughter harvested her first Bull in Nevada on Sunday. Landed in a bad place. Had to quarter one side and wait for help to arrive to drag him out of crevice on top of steep dropoff. Made for an interesting day but was worth it in the end. 440 yard shot with the 300 UltraMag!

    CVA Accura LR inaccuracy at 200 yards

    Bought a Accura LR this year and have put over 70 rounds through it. Sighted at 100 yards open sights first then put scope on for my Utah Antelope hunt and sighted scope the same as open sights at 100.
