Your story sounds familiar. I made the jump a few years back and have never looked back. Your existing lens collection will work perfectly.

Both are great. Both are expensive. I have a Canon Mirrorless with Canon L lenses. Wonderful performance. To me worth the $. Others may feel differently. Go to YouTube and watch some videos by Fox + Fir to see what Canon can do.

I went Elk hunting 8 weeks out. But I was pretty sore and not up to long hikes.

I hunted 67 three years ago. Waited until after opening weekend and we were all alone out there. It was tons of fun. I don’t kill a monster but I did get a really nice buck. I don’t know what affect last winter had though.

I don’t have an issue with the ML scope change proposal. As far as reverting centerfire rifles back to open sights because that’s the way it was, buffalo hunters in the 1880’s had scope sighted rifles and used them to great effect. How far back are we going?

Agreed. Hunted that area for most of my life. It went from having antelope everywhere to very, very few. Hard to believe all the doe tags and captures to transplant didn't have a negative effect.

I have both a bumper pull and a 5th wheel. I prefer the 5th wheel. The 5th wheel is bigger and has 3 slides. I pulled it with your exact set up. It was fine but slower up hills and than the duramax I replaced it with. It's totally doable with your truck to pull a 5th wheel this size. One...

Navajo Generating Station did in fact use around 35K AF and had the contract to use 50K. That water is owned by the state of Arizona and not by SRP. I worked at Navajo Station for many years (36) and was there when we closed it down. I am pretty familier with that water situation. The Navajo...

I lived in Eagar for 6 years. Moved after I retired in 2020. Eagar/Springerville had doctors and a hospital. It's a great place to live. Summers are great. The mountains are at your doorstep. There are many lakes and a few streams to fish in within 30 minutes. Fewer people and to me that's a...

Now that's a list.

I got to thinking about rifle cartridges and what I have used to kill deer in the past. Granted I am pretty old and my hunting career goes back a long time. I thought it might be Interesting to see what center fire calibers you all have used to kill deer with. Here is my list. Although not in...

I have 24 resident moose points. Hell I thought I was getting close. By the time I draw I will be old as hell. I looked at the draw odds. They list 29 as maximum.

What is the Utah maximum bonus points for 2023 draw?

I will be up that way this afternoon and will keep an eye out for them.

I have spent the 1st week of September down there the last 2 years. We had spike hunters in our group and they were covering a lot of ground. The elk were hanging in the Park (Bryce Canyon) and didn't seem to leave much at all. Hope you find a nice bull for that son. That unit is a feast or...

I am a NR and have hunted Wyo for antelope twice. I burned my points last year and had a great hunt. If I had a bunch of preference points in Wyoming I would be sad, seem less than fair to suddenly have odds cut in half or worse. However I agree that residents of the state should get the lions...

It's a tough decision. The 2 units I can draw have a ton of private property.

I have 23 points for Utah moose. Looks like I could possibly draw East Canyon Morgan or South Slope Diamond Mountain. Or I could put in for a lower odds tag and cross my fingers. Any ideas or suggestions? A guide is not out of the question

Got an email from game and fish today related to these topics. The wildlife board voted to keep the over the counter elk tags as is so no draw. they also voted to stay at 50% for bonus point tags. Check out the utah division of wildlife web site.

Email got it done

I have Onx elite, love it. Used it on an Antelope hunt in Wyoming, and 2 Utah hunts. I upgraded from 1 state to the Elite version. They just charged me the difference. I think that was your question correct?

There are several lakes on Thousand Lake mountain you can fish. Snow lake and Deep Creek lake are not hard to access. There are distributed campsites on the main gravel road that access the mountain. I don't see any reason to camp or to fish on a different mountain than your scouting.

I had a Burris 1× a few years back. I could easily see better with open sights. Threw it away. I went to Red Dot sights and had much better luck seeing.

Thanks for the replies. I would like to kill a respectable bull when/if I do draw. Not a fan of CMWU restrictions although a Deseret tag would be nice.

Eagar, Springerville, Taylor, Snowflake. Show Low if you want a bit larger. I spent 5 years up on the "mountain" and for hunting and fishing its hard to beat. However its cold in the winter and the wind really blows hard there during the spring. Ultimately I did not retire there but that's...

The Parker mountain Antelope herd has declined to the point that there is no longer a hunt in that area. How did the largest herd in the state, become almost nonexistent? The game and fish trapped many of them for transplant. They had doe hunts in large numbers. Was that the cause? Wondering...

I have 22 moose points going into this draw (resident). I am struggling on a unit to put in for. I live in Southern Utah and don't know any of them well. Wondering if I should hire a guide if I do draw?

I retired in August after 40 years. The last year or so can stretch. Retirement is great so hold on.

Great photo

I hate to admit it but at 62 I feel limited as well. It's hard to face the music. If I can't hunt with Sons I am not sure I will keep going. I have a nice camera and telephoto lens. That might have to do.

I want the hunt app

Had total replacement on my right knee at 51. The rehab is not easy but if you want a good outcome do it. I went elk hunting at 8 weeks but was still very sore. Figure 6 months for a complete recovery but you can do almost anything after 12 weeks. It was worth but for me.

I have 7 points entering this years draw. I have hunted unit 90-1 once before. I will be looking over the drawing odds but wonder if anyone has an opinion they will share on unit selection? Oh and once I stop hunting I want to Fly Fish so being near water would be a plus.

I can vouch for NEB. I have been shooting them for many years now. Never tried 600 grains though. Great guy to deal with too.

IMHO Cody is way too far from the park to stay there. It's a cool place and worth visiting though. Jackson the same. Been there done that with both. You don't want to spend between one and two hours just getting to the park and that's what the driving time is with any traffic. Gardiner is good...

Hoping this does not happen. Many of my favorite places will be impacted.

I have hunted, camped and fished the boulder lakes for many years. Close to 40. The numbers of lope are indeed way down. Some have moved up into the timber so look high and low.

thanks, I need to figure out how I inactived mine.
