Anyone actually ever sailed off into the sunset on a real sailboat as far a EBFNW ???
Seriously thinking of taking my elderly pops on a sailing trip around the carribean on a Jeanneau SO 379 and checking out of all this crazy points nightmare in the hunting world. One more hunt some day with my...
Anyone care to help me sort out how to try to buy a NR elk tag?
I've read about the cluster it can be, but I'd still like to try.
PM's would be great too
Cheers, Pete
Have three days left and have struggled to find bucks once they went hard horned out here on the west desert.
Any suggestions on how to find them this time of year?
Cheers, Pete
Here's a cool bull I found helping a friend Clint on his San Juan archery hunt in 2019.
Nothing like having an awesome bull at less the 50 yards for 4 1/2 mins with your 4K video setup in hand.

Stoked for more of this next Sept !!!

Anybody have any suggestions on where to store a travel trailer and eventually game processing up by unit 54 ???
I checked with the Edelweiss as @mightyhunter suggested in another thread, but they said no on storing my trailer there :(
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Finally got away for a few days to go explore in AZ on the late archery deer hunts. No one else could join me so I just packed up the new truck and hit the road. Didn't find any coues bucks to go after, but did get drawn on the little 3x3 mule deer before he bolted. Will be back for more of...
Found this guy on my first scouting/hunting trip for late season deer in AZ
Not sure I'll ever get to see one like that on the hoof, but it was a cool find to say the least.
Cheers, Pete
Interested in what actions could be converted into a 28 Nosler that can shoot 195 grain bergers?
Wanting to build up a super cost effective fast flat elk gun. Just for kicks.
Cheers, Pete
Heading down to Kingman for the hunter ed class Sat and wanted to spend a few days after scouting around before I head home. I'm particularly looking to see the lay of the land around 17a and 7w. Much snow up in 17a to stay away from?
Any suggestions on cool places to look for bulls this time...
So what are the differences between most of these units? Terrain, season dates and type of hunting specifically is what I'm asking about. I've been looking at 38, 39, 45 and 54 with my 10 points, but would love to hear what people think.
I'm a pretty fit mid 50's solo diy type of archery...
Wondering if anyone happened to have pics of a bull elk that was hit up parleys last week? I heard it was a 5x5.
Curious with all the fences and boondoggles going on up there with game crossings and such, how an animal like that gets hit still.
Cheers, Pete
Firstly, isn't there a spot online to check your points ???
Secondly, with 4 or 5 points what's a fun type 9 unit up that way? Super fit mid 50's guys who are willing to hunt anywhere from desert to the highest peaks.
Thinking of going with a friend who only has 1 point. I think I have 8 or...
ever had a weath tag holder shoot a 400"+++ bull with a rifle right in front of you as you were hunting it?
LAST EDITED ON Sep-18-17 AT 11:05PM (MST)[p]chasing big monster bulls these days can be a cruel and harsh mistress to say the least :(

my buddy was 50 yards...
Anyone have any experience with this unit?
I put in for it by mistake with 7 points and it appears I can't change my app once I paid online. Seems like it's a 10 point unit in the 1-2 pass so I should be ok if I draw by change anyway.
As a side note you have to be careful when scrolling down...
LAST EDITED ON Nov-06-15 AT 08:03AM (MST)[p]If you're into or want to check out what target archery is all about, come down to DATUS 8000 so. 1300 w. Nov. 14 and 15th to see a good number of the worlds best archers including Reo Wilde, Tim Gillingham, Rob Morgan and local DATUS legend in the...
Somebody dug platforms and camped up Emigration before or during the rains last week and left a garbage fire burning intentionally or unintentionally. Pretty sure they were fellow bowhunters and nearly burned down the forest up there.
I had three bulls going crazy Thursday on either side of the...

Here's a nice bull from a group of 11 I saw yesterday. They just lay there and let you move in close sometimes.
Gotta love this time of year for filming!

Shot this one of some wild clouds over Lone Peak yesterday morning. Was amazed to see how it looked when I adjusted the levels to center the histogram. It's darker than the actual scene like that, but really what they looked like.
Happy New Year! May it bring you many a fine picture to...
KW got all his bow hunting gear jacked in Tooela last night.
Top of the line Hoyt, Swarovski Bino's, Leica range finder, etc....
Pics and more details to come shortly.
If you see any of it for sale or suspiciously aquired, please contact the Tooele Police department.

Curious if any of you guys have kept track of big bucks during the rut to see how far and how much they move around during the rut.
Been watching this guy for a few years now, have one of his right side sheds from a few years ago, but this is the first time I've found him during the rut...
Since the late 80's when we switched to choose your weapon here in Utah, I've pretty much exclusively been bowhunting.
I have an old Bushnell 4x scope on my 270. Looking for something new to make it a little easier for Jr to use on his upcoming rifle deer hunt.
Obviously I could just go buy a...
LAST EDITED ON Oct-02-12 AT 03:10PM (MST)[p]I posted this earlier in the Archery forum, but thought it would be appropriate here as well.
One of the funnest hunts I've ever been on. As you'll see, Jr thinks so too :)

A little clip of my antelope hunt. Lets just say Pete Jr outshot me quite handily on this hunt and I'm just thankful I was able to see my buck fall in 16 seconds and about 40 yards from where I shot him!

Had the great fortune of hunting antelope with my youngest son and BB the last month. What an incredible hunt!
Here's a sample of the wildlife we saw and Jr getting down to business about the 5 minute mark :)

I've been stuck bulldozing my house from the inside out for 4 weeks now and I needed a reminder of what it's like to actually get out and film. I don't have anything new, so here's a bull that I caught last year on the 4th of July!
http://vimeo.com/34649288
Happy 4th everyone!
Cheers,
Pete
Been watching this bull for a couple years now. Was fortunate to find him again this year.
Here's a little video teaser from this year - http://youtu.be/ilhNwNB2zbw?hd=1
And from last year - http://youtu.be/QUf0i9YZ6Ms?hd=1

Here's a quick vid from last weekends DATUS - Spots and Flakes Tournament. Utah and southern Idaho is home to quite of few of the best target archers in the world.
We were fortunate enough to have 2 time World Cup Champion, 3 Time World Champion and two Time Vegas World Archery Festival...
Here's a pic of the 420 something bull that was poached last year.
My buddy Bill at Custom Taxidermy has the mount over in his shop. He does a number of the mounts for the Ute tribe. As you can see he does some pretty incredible work too!
An incredible bull for sure!
Cheers,
Pete
What are you guys using for HDR software? I've tried Photmatix Light, but it is not working very well for me. Creates grey skies and is radically noisy.
I'm on a PC as that is what I use for all my CAD/CAM software and switching to a Mac isn't an option for where I do most of my work...
Found a decent buck for my 12 year old to go after for his first deer hunt Sat. !!!
Wait, maybe I need to let him sleep in and I'll go after him. Hmmmmmmm...... :)
http://youtu.be/qH3YnGOFWhY?hd=1
Let me know what you think he scores. After Jr. gives him a dirt nap I'll let yoall know...
I found 16 bulls up there over the 4th and got a ton of great film. This one was the coolest looking one to me, but there was one other bigger 6x6 as well.
http://youtu.be/_1qjieBlEnc?hd=1
If anyone has a tag up that way, give me a shout and I'll let you know where they were last weekend...
