Honest question. Yesterday I bought a fall turkey tag for my wife at sportsmans. When they handed me the tag, it was printed on your basic white card stock that you can buy at Walmart. When I asked the guy what happened to the older tag paper they’ve been printed on for years his reply was...

Killed a LE elk on Monday and a GS buck on Thursday!

Today marked my 25 deer opener that I’ve participated in, here in Utah. I am shocked by the amount of inconsiderate, entitled people that are out on our public land hunting these days. And the really bad part is, most of them have kids with them and are showing them that it’s ok to act this way...

If anyone has this tag and is looking for something special, send me a pm. I found some stompers last weekend and would like to send a guy in the right direction

If anyone has a tag for this unit and is looking for something special, send me a PM. I found a couple stompers last weekend and wouldn’t mind sending a guy in the right direction. The land owners near by would probably be grateful too

Saw this photo and got to wondering. Assuming that 3rd antler is separate from the other 2 and it doesn’t fork anywhere and is just a single spike, by utah definition, is this a legal spike bull for a spike unit? If so, who’s shooting? I am! ??‍♂️

I found a load my RU muzzy likes, 150 gr triple 7 pellets pushing a 275 Parker BE. I don’t have a chrono and was wondering if anyone shooting the same load had a rough estimate on the muzzle velocity. I can find generic info listed on line by the manufacturers of what it roughly is with 100 gr...

This is BS in my opinion and a great example of why they shouldn’t force people to pick between GS or DH deer tags when applying AND why tag numbers need to be determined before the draw deadline application ends. They took $10 application fees from 429 people who applied for this unit when...

I’ve tried looking for the answers on my own but haven’t found much regarding private land and using access roads to get to public land. Basically all I’ve found is that if you are hunting private property, marked or not, you need permission from the land owner. I understand that. In Utah, if...

I’ll contribute again this year. I’ll start by saying me, my dad and brother were going to Africa this summer for a 10 day safari. Corona had other plans. So that has been postponed until July 2021 (hopefully). we started January off pretty hot. My wife killed a cow elk on the last day of the...

Before people start to snap and go out hunting for “survival” reasons because of all of this? personally I wouldn’t be surprised to hear it’s already started in the more rural areas.

I have zero experience with Africa animals and need some advice. I’m going to Africa in July 2021 on a 10 day hunt. Although I am a bowhunter, I’m leaving it home this trip and just taking my rifle. I’m planning on taking a .300 win. The animals I’ll be hunting with be in a range from impala to...

Cleaning out some closets and came across some camo I don’t use anymore. I want it to go to a new hunter or a youth hunter that’s just getting started. It’s in good shape, but is used. Sizes are M-L. Max-1, mossy oak and predator brands. Pants, shirts and some lighter jackets. I Also have 2...

How many days until they release the recommended permit numbers for the hunts? Next week? Seems like it’s always within a week after the last day to apply has happened. ? what did you apply for and are hoping to draw? I applied for Nebo LE muzzleloader elk. And OIL Nebo mtn goat. The wife’s...

Anyone know the amount of “conservation” money brought in by the hunt expo that gets spent on wildlife and habitat projects outside of Utah annually? the reason I ask, is if other states and wildlife are benefiting from money brought in during the hunt expo, why is it just Utah that is donating...

Whoever started the thread asking for a monster Muleys forum update, needs a swift kick in the pants ? all my posts have been deleted since December, so thanks for that

I don't have a ton of knowledge on muzzleloaders so I figured I'd ask here where someone might know the answer. So my brother in law has a paramount and it's an awesome gun. Shoots way flatter, faster and accurate than my .50 does. Which got me thinking, could I get the same ballistics as a...

I was fortunate to find success early In the hunt and took this buck opening morning. Lots of fun, sad to see it over so soon for me, but grateful to have harvested a buck like this. Hope everyone else has a fun, safe and successful hunt. @screaminseagull

I spent all day down on the unit today and was disappointed to say the least with the pronghorn numbers this year. I've been hunting down there for 15 years and this is by far the worst I've ever seen it. I burned 250 miles on dirt roads, glassing and covering as much ground as possible in the...

How accurate is onX from your experience? I've got some places in the west desert I'm familiar with that according to onX, the fence that signifies the boundaries of private property is off by quite a ways in a few different places. I know some people can get a little carried away and try to...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-11-19 AT 06:32PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Jun-11-19 AT 06:18?PM (MST) I'll contribute this year to this section. I started my 2019 season with a successful spring General season OTC turkey hunt. It was a tough year to find birds and even harder accessing places due to snow and...

Has anyone ever looked in to how many animals, deer/elk/bison/pronghorn/moose/sheep/etc, our public lands could support if we were to completely remove AUMs/grazing allotments on public land? How much would our overall state wide and unit wide objects be able to grow? A significant amount? Or...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-23-18 AT 12:30PM (MST)[p]This year has been pretty crazy for me. Late last year me and my wife found out we were going to be having a baby sometime this summer. With that in mind going into the application season, I decided that I would mostly just apply for bonus points and...

Anyone that drew a LE bull tag this year with a bunch of points might wanna consider turning it back in. Between the 2 giant fires that have blown up over night, a lot of the popular great places to rifle hunt are burned or are in the process of it. Lots of main and access roads are closed too...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-22-18 AT 04:33PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Aug-22-18 AT 04:29?PM (MST) I figured I'd post my success so far. I've had cameras out since the first of May. I hunt turkeys in the same general area that I hunt elk, so I usually take a cam with me every day and put one out when it's...

Just heard a news report that pine valley might be on fire? Hopefully it doesn't blow up like Brian hear did... could make for an interesting hunting season

Anyone else see what FNEs Chris bracketts's camera man released to the world after he pissed him off recently? Haha only 1 buck tag a year in that state, but got video of him slamming 2 within minutes. #1 rule: never piss off your camera man! ???‍♂️ https://youtu.be/E1Gz09TGeec Some of the...

I've been on a lot of great hunts over the years with my family and friends, but what happened last night will be hard to beat. My dad found out in may he had drawn a LE bull tag after 20 years of applying. He's been applying for the San Juan unit the whole time up until this year. He's getting...

I've posted this in several other sections as well. If multiple posts on the same topic isn't allowed, please delete it I'm looking for someone who would be willing to do a euro mount on a velvet spike elk I shot yeaterday. Skull has been cleaned off the best I can do with a knife. Eyes, hide...

I'm looking for someone who would be willing to do a euro mount on a velvet spike elk I shot yeaterday. Skull has been cleaned off the best I can do with a knife. Eyes, hide and bottom jaw all removed. I know how to boils skulls, have done many in the past, but the velvet part is probably more...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-23-17 AT 05:56AM (MST)[p]I harvested this bull last night, just curious what you guys think he would score? Do you think he will make the Bean & Cricket minimum requirements? ;) Got lucky and happened to be at the right place at the right time! Sure glad it's hunting season...

I drew a muzzy tag for buck pronghorn in Wyoming. I've hunted Wyoming many times during the rifle hunts and I'm aware you must wear hunter orange during those seasons. Does that apply to the muzzy hunts as well? Or can I just wear camo until the rifle season opens up on that unit?

Before I start, let me say I'm not looking for someone to tell me where to go or to give up the gps coordinates to one. I'm just asking "how hard" will this hunt be? I checked my family application history last night on the dwr website and discovered that my dad has drawn the Ogden west cow...

I just want to make sure I understand how the drawing for GS deer tags work. Let's say you have hunter "A", who has 3 PP for general deer. Let's say hunter "B", has 1 PP. both apply for the same unit. Their applications are identical. First choice is rifle, 2nd muzzy, 3rd archery, on both...

This year was a tough one, even though I tagged a bird on day 3 of the season. Usually bird numbers are plentiful in the areas I like to hunt, but I struggled to even find birds. I started off my first day I could hunt, may 2nd, over looking a valley where there's usually a good number of birds...

Is there any way to look at the proposed or approved tag numbers for the 2017 season? I'd like to look at the NR tag numbers before I put in for WY this year. Are the numbers posted somewhere? Or is it like Utah where you don't know until after the draw deadline?
