KSL is reporting that our deer herds dropped another 10% from December 2020 to December 2021 . . . but the good news is we have apparently hit an "inflection point" and are about to turn the corner. ? I will personally believe it when I see it...

We drew unit 31/32 third season deer tags this year. I have spent a fair amount of time studying my maps and reviewing information from the Colorado CPW website. I would love to touch base with some hunters that have hunted the 2nd or 3rd seasons in the last few years. The hunt this year runs...

Well boys, I got lucky despite long odds and drew a Unit 081 any weapon deer tag (12/11-1/1). To say I am excited to finally draw a Nevada tag is an understatement. I’ve never hunted deer in December. What a way to celebrate Christmas! I know the hunt is weather and migration dependent but I...

As some of you know, I drew a Wasatch archery elk tag in 2013 and shot a nice bull on August 30th of that year. I was happy with my bull but I felt like I missed out on chasing rutting bulls during the last two weeks of the hunt. These are some photos of my 2013 archery elk. Flash...

what tag(s) did you apply for? Unit 22 third season deer tag for me. -Hawkeye-

After applying for 10 years, I finally drew a Unit 45-1 elk tag. My BIL (robiland) had this same tag 4 years ago and shot a nice bull during the archy hunt. I hope to rely in part on his knowledge and "guiding services." I plan on hunting during the archery hunt and then returning for the...

As most of you know, I have been critical of the State of Utah and the DWR for their lack of transparency and accountability for the last several years. In an effort to address that problem, I have taken time to research the issues, attend meetings, and speak with leaders of the DWR...
