Disclaimer: I understand the risk one takes to post here anymore, but here goes... Summary: I have 15 elk points, I'm 64 and have serious health issues. I am looking for some suggestions for hunt units, archery or rifle, but preferably rifle. I can kill out to 800 yds but prefer inside 500 yds...

In a different thread I mentioned that I have 11 WY Deer points and my son has 12. We are about to put in together. We are burning points in WY and Colorado due to some personal health issues I won't go into here. So, I guess someone picked up on this 11 + 12 = 23 and that since 9 points in the...

Curious how many NR points (approx) it will take this year to draw, regular and special. Thanks

Hi My son and I drew this tag for 2021. This will be our second antelope hunt. I also bought the archery option. I have a couple of days next week to do some scouting and was hopeful that I could get a few ideas of some roads to take - doesn't matter which side of the unit. I know I can't go...

The "Keep a lookout - draw results coming soon" email I got from wgfd on 6/15 (Tues) said "You will receive an email with a direct link to your individualized draw results on the morning of June 17. If you used this email address for multiple hunters, you will receive multiple messages." Got...

"Truck Down" was a thread I started last week. Thanks for the responses and encouragement pm's. Just found out my truck will be totaled. The collision shop said that as soon as they hit the 75% threshold of vehicle's value its game over - "didn't even need to pop the hood." Doesn't really...

Apologies for typing in bursts. Sometimes I type like I speak. I don't really care about the grammar/punctuation police (you know who you are). Its the thought police I am concerned with these days. Oh well, it'll all be good after we've completed the newly required annual sensitivity...

My brother will draw in 2020 or 2021 and so I am going to start gathering whatever intel I can as soon as I can to help him with his hunt. Please PM me with whatever info/contacts would be a good place to start. We know nothing about any of the units, although we did hunt the book cliffs road...

Please PM me here if you found (or know of someone who found) a pair of Cabela's 10x42 binocs. I believe that I left them to the side of the road on the north side of The Horn. Either there or they could have fallen on the road between that location and where we camped - not too far from the...

All: My son (high school senior) got notified by the UDWR that he has 24 hours to accept a Henry Mountains Cow Bison tag for Dec 15th - Dec 31st. During the last week of December are the cows hard to find? We've always been DIY, but we've never been bison hunting. I talked to one guide there...

Ok. I just had to take a walk after reading the fee increases. With the WY moose hunt being my next target, that is where I really had to catch my breath. Bison applicants - I feel for ya. And, apologies if this has already been hashed/rehashed in another thread. If so, maybe this will take a...

This was a solo hunt. General area. 6th day of the season, 3rd day of my hunt (I rarely hunt the opening weekend). Fairly close to the place where I got my last Utah deer in 2009. At 9am I spotted the buck @ about 1500 yards moving very methodically with 6 very vigilant sentinel doe. They...

Hi I know I am much more excited about this than my 2 kids who drew the tag. My son (23) and daughter (18) will both be in school (Weber State and UVU) when this hunt is on, but we will make it happen somehow. It's a longshot, but my son may be using my bow, if he decides to add the archery...

Discouraging... With 17 moose points I could wait as many as between 18 and 33 years to draw the premier tag in WY. Assumptions: Each year there will be 3 NR tags Each year all who have points >= to my points will apply for the same tag. This means that all of the current 54 point holders...

The subject says it all. My 13 yr old son is excited to say the least. I have done some map study of the possible areas, and it looks like we'll probably start looking at the North Slope or somewhere off of Monte Cristo...unless we can tap into some real MM sources. We'll have a couple of...

Just doing some planning - being positive that I'll be around for the 2016 season. Anyone "know" or have an opinion based on history or statue of which date the 2016 UT Deer Rifle season opener would be? I am thinking that we might need to guess the ML opener as Wed 9/28, then the General Elk...

Anyone know if I can mentor more than 1 kid? Also, anyone know the price of the "mentees"? Thanks!

Last year it looks like there was 1 public draw tag - and it went to soemone with 5 bonus points. Does anyone *know* how many Antelope Island deer tags there will be available in the public draw this year? (Doesn't really help to have max points when applying for this tag if there is only one...

Don't we usually get these in our mailboxes by now? I need (ok WANT) some stuff!

My 18 yr old son drew this tag. It goes from Nov 5th thru Nov 13th. We have never hunted Colorado. We are doing our best to gather any info we can. It will be a DIY and we'll probably plan 1 scouting trip and then spend about 5 days there for the hunt. Just my son and I - our last hunt together...

Ok, I figured we wouldn't draw so I went ahead and put my brother and I in for a unit he said he'd "heard" some pretty good things about. Well, we drew. Now, I go to look at the boundaries of this unit I know NOTHING about and find that the unit is mostly private and that folks who apply for the...

My 16 year old son Nick popped his first antelope this past fall (Sept 10th) in Wyoming. He didn't mind me taking him out of school for the opener (Thursday) and getting him back in time for other social events (Friday and Saturday) important to young boys. Anyway, we parked and slept in the...

We got this buck the 2nd Saturday morning. Southern unit. It is a 6x8 with nice eyeguards. Haven't measured it yet, but I think its about 26" or 27" The double tripods on the one side make it pretty unique. Didn't hear much shooting at all the whole time we hunted (opening morning, then...

Hey all First post for anything like this...asking here because I've always gotten the best info from MM folks. Thanks in advance for any tips. PM's welcome, email is better ([email protected]) My daughter attends USU. Her 2002 S-10 Blazer needs a repair ASAP. No heat, so it sounds like...

Well, my son (16) wanted to hunt WY antelope more than anything else so we put him in for points the last 2 years. This year he drew. At this point "success" to him is just getting out there with me and filling his tag. He'll be carrying a .270 WSM - hope that's not too much for antelope :)...

My bro and I have 66A archery elk tags. My son has a WY Region G deer tag (youth). I can sched one of these hunts for Monday the 15th thru Thurs the 18th and the other one for Monday the 22nd thru Thurs the 25th. I know where I'm going for the G tag. I am pretty clueless of where I'm going for...

My 2 boys drew this controlled hunt tag (hunt # 1075, pg 21 in the regs). Is there any benefit of this tag over the general deer tag other than the option to take a doe? If that's the only "benefit" then I'm just going have them keep their general deer tags and not pick up the CH tags. Thanks!

Maybe this is in the application booklet, but I didn't see it... In looking that the WY Deer odds, it *appears* that preference points are averaged across the number of applicants, not rounded. Is that correct? In other words, if I have 2 pref pts and I apply with 2 other hunters who have 0...

Just wondering which vendors you've had experience w/ at the expos gave you the best deals AT the expo. (Best = better than what you can get elsewhere) In particular, I'm looking at a couple of riflescopes, including Leupold. Thanks!

A buddy of mine called me today and told me he was watching 3 rams just above Springville. We were wondering where these had wandered in from - or, were they recently transplanted nearby. Anybody know? He said that he could see the rams, and deer and elk in the same view (w/out moving his...

I'm in the market again for a new ATV and was wondering what dealer you've found around sells at the lowest price. I'm in Utah County, UT (central part of the state) and have purchased my last 2 ATVs from Frandsen's, now Escape in Provo. Thanks....hunt

is what would have happened had I put in for WY this year (8 or 9 points there which is essentially a slam dunk). So, I've drawn in Utah...a CWMU. Will contact the operator there next week. Taylor Lonetree Hollow or Lonetree Taylor Hollow unit - - anybody heard anything about it? I put my dad...

Hi: I'd like to put my dad in for a hunt (public or CWMU) where he has a reasonable chance of drawing, where the terrain wouldn't kill him, and where he would have a good chance at a 320+ bull. He is 73 and in fair shape but how much longer that will last is anyone's guess. He currently has 8...
