    Wyoming elk 62

    I get told by several people if they had max points they would even consider unit x. They say there are better units. What I don't here is what units other consider better and what makes them better. I've considered units 24, 16, 38-9, & 62. I here reports of people taking nice bulls in all...

    Wyoming elk 62

    Anyone hunt wyoming elk 62? I've been researching units to put in. I'm adding 62 to my list. I'm a non-res, no horses, max points. I know it's griz country which has been a reason for looking further East. But have recently been considering all the options. I've only found a few postings...

    Elk 24-1 or 38-9 worth max points?

    I'm not dead set on the bighorns, however, I do find them very intriguing. I've watched several archery videos on the region and the hunts I've watch look like a quality experience. I know they don't take max points but no one has said why they wouldn't be worth using max points verses the...

    Elk 24-1 or 38-9 worth max points?

    Actually I've been a member of monstermuleys for what seems like 20 years. There was a period of several years when I wasn't actively posting and the moderators deactivated my account. I've provided assistance to many posters about a couple units in the Utah over the years so I have no issue...

    Elk 24-1 or 38-9 worth max points?

    Anyone familiar with unit 16, is it worth max. I've heard mixed reviews about the hunt such as quality bulls but a real zoo of hunters even during the archery season, of course 38 from what I've heard is a zoo as well.

    Elk 24-1 or 38-9 worth max points?

    I'm a non-res with max points. Looking to burn my points this year. I'm considering unit 24-1 and 38-9, possible 39-9. Is 38-9 worth burning max points on? Are there better areas that meet the criteria below that would be more worthy of max points? I've never stepped foot in either of the...

    Elk DO! Bugle in July....

    Cows bugle. I'm 50 and hunted elk my entire life, I never knew that cows bugle until about 5 years ago. I saw first hand a cow walking across a meadow looking back at some other elk following her a couple hundred yards behind she would stop looking back at them and bugle. She repeated this...

    Vortex Glasspak Harness

    I purchased a new pair of vortex 15X50 Viper binos last year and it came with the Glasspak harness. I used it most of last year during the hunting season and like how clean and dry it kept the binos, however, I didn't like a few things such as how the lid opens toward your chest, the pack felt...

    1st time Elk Hunter, got a Manti tag...

    To me it's a easy decision, keep the deer tag, however, I'd focus my whole effort on the elk hunt until I've either filled the tag or the season ends. For me I can always hunt deer during the extended archery season. L.E. elk tags don't come around too often make that your 1st priority and...

    Broadhead of Choice????

    Many years ago I shot gold tip gladiator expandables and had mixed results. I hit 1 deer right behind the shoulder and never got a single drop of blood. Shot numerous elk and typically had pass throughs with good blood. Broadheads were discontinued. Decided to go to a fixed blade head so I...

    Wasatch late tag advice

    Sorry I can't help you much when it comes to the muzzy. If it were archery season I could give you some suggestions. The area I hunt all the elk are gone by the general rifle. Good luck I've heard a lot of people saying this year has been difficult to find elk in the strawberry/current creek...

    Killing all the cows

    Interestingly enough this is the 3rd thread lately about this same topic. I expressed in another thread that I couldn't understand why the state would issue so many cow tags which include the control tags while making the statement that they would like to harvest as many elk as possible on the...

    elk hunting utah

    With 6 points you can draw a pretty awesome archery hunt. The Manti, Book Cliffs, Fish Lake, and Wasatch units are all great units that you should be able to draw for archery. I had an archery tag this year for a particular unit. Ton's of bulls in the 300 to 320 range. We saw a few that...

    2014 LE BULL PICS PLEASE!!!

    Here's a pic of my 2014 L.E. Wasatch Archery Bull. Unfortunately I didn't have the camera available until after we had caped and quartered him up. What a fun hunt. By the 3rd weekend most bulls in the area were pushing cows and very call shy even with simple cow calls. We were able to get in...

    Deseret late season cow hunts - unethical methods

    So I wondering if anyone's experience on the Deseret CWMU this year was anything like a fellow hunter I know. Apparently the outfitter that currently holds the hunting lease for the unit is using unorthodox methods and perhaps unethical on the late season cow hunts. What was shared with me by a...

    Elk near Strawberry

    I've been hunting the "Strawberry" area for the last 10 years. I generally hunt a particular area that makes up about a 10 square mile area, so my observations are based on a small sampling of the unit. Back in 2003 I drew a Wasatch Bull Tag and found the shear number of elk not to mention...

    Elk Hunting Wasatch

    I've hunted those mountains my whole life and have never seen an elk. I've heard of people seeing some but I've never seen any myself. The back side is Hardscrabble CWMU and does hold elk. I'm sure a few do come over to the West side from time to time. If you see anything, you'd be very luck.

    Uinta elk

    It really comes down to know where to hunt, knowing the elk patterns when the pressure hits. I know a group of guys that take elk every year. They've been hunting the area for many years now and know where the elk will be. It really comes down to experience with the unit. If you have the...

    Warning..

    Like I said I don't condone steeling or vandalism, however, I don't agree with people leaving there rig parked in a camp spot unattended for days or even weeks. In the cases I've seen it's not so simple as just finding another spot. Why well because all the spots have empty trailers parked in...

    Warning..

    I don't condone steeling or vandalism, however, I also don't condone people leaving their unattended trailer camped on the mountain for days or quite often weeks at a time. This is a rapidly growing trend in Utah that I really disdain. The Manti, Wasatch, and Beaver units are just a few that...

    a few pics from last weeks trail cam

    Same bull two years apart, that's pretty cool. From what I know about the Wasatch, there are a lot of bulls that just don't have the genetics to grow massive antlers. I've heard reports of many bulls being taken at the age of 6-8 years and only scoring around 320 pts. This particular bull in...

    What do you think about Beaver bow hunt

    I've general archery deer and elk hunted the Beaver unit for many years. I will say the Beaver unit is a zoo during the archery hunt, but like most places if you get off the road a ways then you leave behind the majority of people. The Beaver is also a popular camping place. Last year we were...

    NR Wyoming Elk??

    I'm a non-res with max points looking for a quality area to hunt elk. Goal is a 300+ bull. I'm both an archery and rifle hunter, primarily archery. I'm looking for a D.I.Y. hunt, so no wilderness areas. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've heard both good and bad about units 30...

    Wow!

    LAST EDITED ON Oct-06-10 AT 03:38PM (MST)[p]If you zoom in on the photo you can see that it was photo shopped. You can see branches from the brush under the paws. Unless that cat can levitate. None the less, the thought of it is pretty creepy! I had a cat come in on me a few years back while...

    Wow!

    The post was made without permission from the hunter involved, that's why the hunters face is hidden.

    Wow!

    Check this pic out. The face of the hunter was hidden to protect his identity. This guy was alone when this picture was taken in ND. He used the camera timer and set it up on this shooting sicks. He was unaware of the cat behind him until the next morning when he looked at the photo. I know...

    Danner Pronghorn- What to replace with?

    Utah - Wasatch & Manti elk herds down?

    I've been hunting the Manti and Wasatch units for many years now and I must say I'm disappointed in the decreasing numbers of elk. The decrease seams to have been increasing since 2003. That year I had a L.E. bull tag on the Wasatch and a good friend had a tag on the Manti. I must say the...

    Central Manti

    I just spent a week on the Manti and I must say I'm disappointed in the overall elk numbers. We saw elk but not like in the past. We found a number of canyons holding bulls, however, the cows were far a few between.
