Nice bull! I'm sure the meat is fine. 2 of the last 3 elk my buddies and I have shot were recovered the following morning and both were good. Last year we didn't lose any meat and the year before only a small amount that was on the ground side was lost. Both elk killed early season.

Didn't realize the original post was from November of 2015! Oh well.

I bought a pair of Cabelas Iron Ridge boots a few years back and I must say they have been a very pleasant surprise. They are a bit on the heavy side but are a well made, quality boot that I have put through the wringer. Full leather, gore-tex and thinsulate. Very hard to beat for $119.

As some have said, shoot it a bit first. You might like the current set up. I used a rip cord rest for a while and switched to a biscuit because I like the simplicity, no moving parts. I can't say that I noticed any change in my accuracy. I'm sure some people do, just not me.

Wow DW, that one elk filled a lot of game bags!

If he was hunting with a rifle that means he had only 7 days to hunt correct? He could'nt have tried too hard to find the 3 wounded bulls in that time and still have had the time to shoot a 4th. I have feeling this story is a bit exaggerated. I would think that with 6 people in the group...

I had the archery tag last year and unfortunately was not able to kill a bull. But it was not due to lack of bulls. If I had a rifle or ML it would have been a different story. I hunted for 13 days total and saw elk every day and had a blast. I don't know that drop camp would be that...

Some great bulls! Well I also drew the tag to add to everyone else so there'll be no shortage of us in the woods. I've been up a few times so far and haven't seen much (except deer). Took some time to hang with the family over the last month so now I can dedicate my time to scouting. The area...

Hey nocwalker, congrats on the tags! I tink I read in another post that you are coming from PA is that right? If so what part? I'll be up there this archery season hunting deer and spikes/cows with my buddies and we are all transplants from PA. I was up there today doing a little...

I had the same problem with the Muzzy MX-4. Those things were all over the place. I'm sure my bow could have been tuned better but I found another BH that flew perfect so I switched. I've been thinking about trying the Muzzy 3 blade simply because you get 6 for the same price that most other...

I can tell which one NOT to get: The Glen Del Buck. There is a replaceable vital area that has a METAL edge around it so if you hit just on the edge of the vitals it's goodbye arrow!

Go to Google Earth and search Mirror Lake Utah and it will take you real close. Ostler peak is a little NE from Mirror lake. But as was said, there are goats on lots of the peaks. Murdock Mt (due south of Mirror lake) is right off the hwy at Bald Mt Pass and I've seen lots of goats up there too.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-09-12 AT 01:42PM (MST)[p]Same as last year!! Actually, I have been thinking about trying a QAD Ultra drop away rest if I can find one for cheap. Archery Research AR 31 bow at 65# Whisker B rest Carbon Ex Mutiny 340 arrows NAP Spitfire BH's G5 Optix 5 pin sight

Some of the mechanicals, like NAP Spitfires, don't lock in the open position so they are very easy to remove from targets.

For the money? I'm sure most people on here will disagree but I'll say Cobra pro caliper. Inexpensive and it works great. Had the velcro strap first and I lost that one so I bought the buckle and I actually like it better. $29.95 at sportsmans. I've tried other types of releases and I cant see...

At least you guys have had shots! I've put a ton of miles on the boots this year and have seen only 1 elk, a cow that was about 500 yds out. Talk about being humbled and having no confidence. Since I bought a rengefinder earlier this year my distance judging skills have gone to crap. I...

A few years ago two of my buddies packed in around 4 miles with game carts. It worked out very well for hauling all their gear in. Unfortunately we did not get an elk to pack out but we had plenty of supplies for the whloe trip. They were in for 5 days or so and I met them for 3. They said...

A friend of mine hunted it last year, well his wife had the tag. Anyway, although they did not see a lot of deer, she was able to take a nice 4 point on about the 5th day of hunting. He also had nothing but good things to say about the unit managers.

It seems that was par for this past weekend on the Front.

There was a long discussion last year about this on one of the other sites, bowsite I think. Anyway, there were quite a few people thet did reviews some good, some bad.

That tent should do fine on it's own. But a tarp is nice to string up as a shelter for camp. If it's snowing or raining it's nice to have a place to sit besides in the tent.

In the area I hunt during the extended they are really call shy. I've only tried a few times with cow calls but the results were so bad I gave it up. They just hightailed it out of the area. I've seen guys across a canyon just blowing away on their bugles with no results. (actually I didn't...

LAST EDITED ON May-12-10 AT 12:25PM (MST)[p]'09 Wasatch Front extended. First bull!

Thanks for the info

Does anyone know what Utah LE archery elk units will have spike hunts going the same time as the bull hunts? I'm trying to decide where I want to put in this year and would rather stay away from the units with the spike hunts going on. Thanks

Since I'm always after a deal (some might say cheap) I had a Tru-Glo 5 pin that wroked just fine but kind of a pain to make small adjustments. I now have a G5 Optix 5 pin that I found for cheap and I really like it. Super easy to adjust, bright pins. I'm going to get the smaller pins for next...

Another vote for the 2200. When I killed my elk this year I had a BL Ultra Day and that is NOT an elk pack! If it wasn't for my buddy with his BL 2200 I would have been in deep ...! The meat shelf works great. You could even do a few day bivy with this pack if you wanted to but it doesn't...

How do you age the meat? I took my bull right to the processor mainly because I had no where to put all that meat, but I didn't get him back for about 4 weeks. The steaks are great.
