Judge: UDWR acted unlawfully, judge says Salt Lake City ? An order filed in 3rd District Court on Thursday vacated the awardance of a 5 year Hunting Expo contract and 200 associated big game tags to Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife (SFW), saying the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR)...

Will the expo meeting be streamed today?

Stumbled on this for yesterday?s commute. Worth a listen. Starts out in Salt Lake City at the Hunt Expo. http://www.radiolab.org/story/rhino-hunter/ or Radio Lab on iTunes Podcasts Produced by WNYC, one of the most liberal universities in one of the most liberal cities. Considering, I think...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-28-15 AT 01:36PM (MST)[p]Second edition from necali's campfire post. So here?s mine. This happened 3 years ago. To this day we still can't explain it. Can you? We?re 6 miles in the Wyoming backcountry, it's was mid-week on the last week of the hunt. The only people we saw...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-23-15 AT 02:54PM (MST)[p] He even calls out Topgun.

Free churro for who ever can tell us what this is.

I'm betting G is over 5 ponits now for non-residents. H used to be anything more than 0 but I bet its up to 1.5 points. I'm thinking K will be up a full point as well. Any guesses? We'll know soon. WY is great about posting statistics that same time as results. I thought the drastic drop in...

LAST EDITED ON May-07-15 AT 04:10PM (MST)[p]So Bess is thrilled with his new optics purchase. How have ya'll fared with Harbor Freight tools? I'm no contractor or career mechancic, though I built my own house (minus drywall) and always do my own auto reparis up to complete overhauls. I'm...

So here?s the email I just got reminding me to apply. Notice this line: ?Best of all, we have more buck deer in Utah now than in the past 25 years!? UDWR, you've got to be kidding me! How can you honestly say that and expect public confidence in your organization? I've seen more believable...

Not a whole lot of details in it yet, but the bill's sponser summarized it as: SB 45 makes it legal to use a crossbow during archery hunting season. http://le.utah.gov/~2015/bills/static/SB0045.html It was heard on the floor last week. Anyone have the scoop on this?

There?s not a lot, but a few rifle and more muzz/archery general tags that can be picked up as 2nd, 3rd or 4th choices. Is there anywhere where you can see the odds breakdown by 1st, 2nd, etc choice? I guess what I really want to know, is if I put in for Unit X rifle as my first choice and...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-05-14 AT 12:54PM (MST)[p]This was filmed opening morning of the general season Utah deer hunt above Altamont UT. The hunter/driver stated "Everyone knows there's only one pisscutter on the entire South Slope, I wasn't going to let Bess beat me to it."

There is always a lot of discussion here on MM regarding the punishment for poaching. Some would like to see long term jail time and $100k fines. Others think it should be far less when comparing punishments for crimes against humans versus animals. In the end it's all opinions and...

I've read a lot and learned a lot from many here in the Muzzleloader forum, and for that I say thanks. Maybe something I share here will be of benefit to someone else. For several years I've been struggling to get my .50 cal Austin Halleck to give me any kind of consistency, never being able to...

Question for those who have been up Maple Canyon near Moroni and Fountain Green. I looks like the road is improved through the climbing/cliff area. I'm curious, above the campgrounds is the road good enough to pull an ATV trailor or camp trailer to the top?

Headed in to the Wyoming high country. 2 of us hunting. 2 up and comers and 1 seasoned vet along for the ride as well with 8 fine mountain horses. I love that Wyoming starts their hunts on calendar dates every year, doesn't matter what day of the week it is, seems to help with the crowds on...

I'm in, tag is bought! Never hunted bears ever, but this is the year. Headed out May 1st-4th. We see plenty of bear during fall deer and elk hunts in the Hoback area. That's where we're planning to head, but I've never been in that country this time of year. It'll be an adventure one way or the...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-13-14 AT 11:22AM (MST)[p]My wife has all her OIL points in desert sheep and is still a few years out from locking up a tag. I'm out of the loop on desert sheep units. She's been applying for San Juan South, just out of habit really not for any rhyme or reason. What's your...

Had a great general season Utah hunt. Took my boys, bro, dad and a bro-n-law spectator who's never hunted. Had such a great time. Bro has never shot a buck, so he was happy. Dad loves the meat, he was happy. I found a burned out hole that no one was willing to hike in to, I was happy (especially...

I saw this in the most recent Cabela?s catalog and it sparked a good conversation with the guys at work. It's interesting that Cabela?s marketing put the very top of the line Swarovski Bino/Range finder ($3,000) right next to the very bottom end (what most would consider minimally acceptable)...

How old in WY before you can start buying points for kids? I guess I could go look it up, but thought someone one here has a quick answer. Thanks

I've never been able to get decent groups out of my muzzleloader. I've also never really put a lot of time into powder/bullet configurations. Before I give up on the gun I want to give it full hearted effort. You know a clean slate/start from scratch kind deal. It's a 50cal Austin Halleck. So...

Never bought or had a need for a GPS until now. I'll be hunting tight to state lines and private this year. Not looking for a top end unit. Color screens and big $$$ don't ring my bell, just something that will keep my out of trouble. I've heard something about state specific cards too? What...

Unsuccessful for me. Seems the rumors of the price increase really threw off the historical drawing trends. Should have been a lock in my unit with my # of points, and has been the case for years now. Not this year. Anyone else experience this?

So it's been quite a few years now since Popeye's fame days. The details were pretty tightly held at the time. There are a few with the inside scoop, David Long, Eastman's and obviously the guy who took the only living summer photo of him among a few in the know. So has it been long enough? Is...

Not really a cure and I've never experienced it, but this may be of benefit to someone. At least tuck it away in your memory bank for that potential emergency moment. . . New York Times- Vital Signs Prevention: Easy Way to Head Off Altitude Sickness By NICHOLAS BAKALAR Published: March 26...

Did the wolves get him? He went off guiding in Idaho or something and hasn't been heard of for a few months now. You out there?

I'm just about done reading 'The Parenting Guide' by Casey Anthony. I'm looking for another book to start soon. Any recommendations? Bo Karate recommended 'Touched' by Jerry Sandusky, but I think I'll pass. Has anyone read 'Establishing Masculinity for Dummies' by StinkyStomper? I've also...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-20-11 AT 09:06AM (MST)[p]So tell me if you've observed any of these things or if I'm totally off base. Couple observations from the field: Where I hunt in Wyoming, the deer usually strip velvet around the archery opener, week of sept 1st. I was there for the opener this...

Any of you horse guys ever had the law on you for no brand inspection or health/coggins paper work when in a different state?

Yep, another tough one. Look close, there is more than one buck in this pic. Hint, look for antler tips and ears, may be easier to spot them. . . . . . . . . . . Took this and many more pics chasing bucks in Wyoming last week on the archery opener. Unfortunately, more pressure than...

I put this together this morning. Tried out the oven's bake delay timer and hoped for the best. Got home from church to this! Sunday dinner like it used to be. You should'a smelled the house walking in. Tasted as good as it looked. Wyoming Elk roast, potatos/carrots/onions/tomatos straight...

Brag'n and shameless corporate marketing, how about that in one post you frick'n MM posers!!! J/K! Really though, after 40 shots and jello for an arm, backed it up to 70 yards. Tough to hold form when you're tired but its a good way to force yourself to go through all the right steps. Hammerd...

Not mine or from my group but was glad to help out a mountain bud who has helped me in years past. It was a cook'n opening day to pack meat out, but hey, sure beats mowing the lawn right! Just glad to be oun the mountain!

Dad couldn't make it this year, neither could the horses. Long story, but that wouldn't stop us. My second son turned 5 earlier this year. That means you're old enough to go. He was excited but I think more amped that he got his very own head lamp! Three cousins came along with three more...

SW's thread got me thinking. Founder, you ever thought about putting out a MM hat? I'm always a sucker for a good hat the represents my intrests and would proudly wear a MM hat around. I'm sure enough guys on here would be in for one too to make it worth your while.

So Bo Jackson apparently hasn't fallen off the face of the earth after all. More importantly what the hell kind'a bow is Bo shooting? That thing is funky!

Here's what could have been the last four photos of me ever taken alive. We've ran the Snake a lot in our little raft and never once had an issue even when people have fallen out. However, this year the river was running 3 times higher than normal. Fast, cold and dirty with run off, not the...

So the kids love to play in the ditch when I irrigate the back lawn. Wife thinks they'll drown to death if I don't keep and eye on them. So, with one eye on the kids the other eye was in the scope and this is what I found tonight. Goats! And lots of em! I've watched them up on the peaks for...

Your words were truly inspirational. As I sat at my desk at work, my eyes watered up reading your perfect tribute to your son. I truly appreciate you sharing your insight. As painful as that insight has come it's an eternal glimpse that so few of us will come to know. I won't even claim to...
