I used the spindrift jacket and guide jacket in Alaska this past spring. They were warm and withstood the cool breeze on a snowy bear hunt. When it rained, however, I found the guide jacket WAS NOT water proof. The raid beaded up and ran off at first, and then it soaked it up like a sponge...

Correction...Doyle Moss and clients (as well as public hunters) have access by horseback or foot.

I too have a Sendero 7mm but it is the ultra mag. I have a Barnes MuzzleBreak and love it. The recoil seems less than my 243. I always wear ear protection when just shooting. When pulling the trigger on a deer or elk, I don't and maybe it's the adrenaline but I don't notice the noise. By the...

Hi Wade, Last March you said you were going to test the Kifaru Slick bag. I have been wondering what the verdict is? MS

I have only used bog-pod (and I'll be buying another set since they were stolen out of the truck while I was elk hunting last fall). I really needed them while doing long hours of glassing on an Alaska hunt. It was best if I could stand while glassing and I could use the tripod-bog pod to...

I purchased the camo bog pod tripod sticks and have been very happy with them. They were great to use for long hours of glassing last spring on a bear hunt in Alaska. This fall while hunting elk here in Utah, I left them in the back of the truck while riding a mule all day. At the end of the...

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. IF the two are successful in drawing the LE tag, the dedicated sportsman would need to surrender that year's tag and if he harvests a deer, it would count as one of the two allowed in three years. I drew a Pauns. tag a few years ago and still paid the price...

Rifle deer, elk, and once in a lifetime tags: $150. Add a couple of days entry fees, plus assorted new gear... I look forward to this every year.

There are Division of Wildlife personel stationed at the EXPO to sell licenses. Or you can buy them online anytime.

Thanks Gentlemen. It sounds like there are passionate Snipe Pod and Bog Gear owners. Those will be the two I'll likely choose between. I have read about both on their web sites and they both have some great features. Thanks for all your ideas. MS

I have a Leupold VX-3l 4.5 x 14 and a Zeiss Conquest 4.5 X 14. I really like them both. I am more comfortable with the Zeiss however and give it the edge over the Leupold. I bought the Zeiss 8 years ago and the Leupold about 3 years ago. I got pretty good deals online and I don't know if you...

Hi Fishfearme, I too have maximum elk points (17). I have been applying for Pahvant too. According to the latest odds book, you and I could draw ANY hunt in Utah except the Early Pahvant. There we would have a 30-40% chance depending on where other Maximum point holders apply. My top...

I just looked through this year's Utah Odds book. You would have drawn out or had a good chance on these units last year: Cache North with 4 pts. Cache South 6 pts. South Slope Diamond 6 pts. Book Cliffs Roadless 8 pts. LaSal 5 pt. Manti 8pts. Nebo 7...

I have never had the need for shooting sticks until a hunt last fall. I was in heavy grass/small brush hunting moose in Alaska. There was nothing to get a good rest on and I ended up making the standing 125 yard shot at the bull as he broke out from some alders. Later, my partner used some...

Whoa... Awesome. Can you share any details?

CUTCO with the diamond D edge! I have two and they never get dull. Used one of these knives on 3 Alaskan moose, 1 Utah moose, and a Wyoming mule deer this fall and it is still razor sharp. Lifetime guarantee and factory resharpening for almost free. My friend who killed the Utah moose was so...

On the 338 ultra vs 340 weatherby question I was using the info from this site: http://www.chuckhawks.com/rifle_ballistics_table.htm Look at the comparison on this chart. It might be wrong but that's what I based my comment on.

I hear from DWR that they may be opening a new never hunted Desert Sheep Unit this next year. Right now, this is only a possibility but it would be adjacent to Zion National Park. Apparently a transplant from years ago has turned out to be succesful. Stay tuned...

Wildarrow, It sounds like you have made your decision but I want to suggest another possibility. I bought a Weatherby 340 this last year and took it to Alaska. It has better ballistics than a 338 ultra mag and it pancaked a nice moose. It is an awesome gun. I know this wasn't your question...

I just talked with DWR region manager from Price. He confirmed Pres. Bush did hunt the CWMU owned by Hunt oil. He did not get his elk.

It is important that the Governors office receive many calls and emails originating in California. They will take note of the volume of calls and emails from around the country but will pay more attention to those from California. I have some experience with the Governor's office here in Utah...

I want to hunt with my son (Uof Wyo student) so I was successful in drawing a Region J buck tag. I'm coming from Utah and don't know what public land is available. Are there good public areas or should I be looking for landowner tags? Any suggestions would be appreciated. MS

Thanks for your information. I am ordering the non HD geovids while the rebate is still going.

I am looking to purchase some 10X42 Geovids. Is the glass in the HD model worth the difference in price from the BRF model? Thanks, MS

I have the Remington Sendero chambered in the 7mm ultra mag. As you can probably guess from my handle, I love it. I put a Barnes muzzle break on it and the recoil is much less than my 270. It dropped a moose in it's tracks as it has everything else I've shot at. I am very confident out to...

The wildlife board changed group applications. If one member of a group that has been successful in the draw wants to turn in their tag, the rest of the group must turn their tags in too. This will prevent the "averaging" that has been taking place where one person with max bonus points can...

Thanks Gentlemen, Good advice. Mike

I've drawn area D so I could hunt with my son who's attending Univ. of Wyo. I;ve seen several posts asking for suggestions in area D. I would appreciate any help--and would also like suggestions as to recommendations about guides. I've hunted around Sheridan the last several years but D is...

This past year some stray domestic goats started a disease outbreak in the bighorn sheep in Utah County. If everyone starts taking domestic goats everywhere is there some danger of infecting bighorn sheep herds?

If I could trade in my maximum elk points for deer points, I think I would do it.

Just talked to a friend who works in the Utah DWR licensing section. He thinks that both e-mails and credit card hits will begin going out this Thursday, the 24th.

I have used a Zeiss Conquest 4.5x14x 44 and recently switched to a Leupold VXL 4.5X14X50. Both great scopes on the Sendero. I think I like the Zeiss a little better. I love the Sendero too. Have never had a more dependable and accurate rifle.
