    BEAR BAIT SUCKER??

    I made one for my Utah bear hunt in 2020. In my experience the cubs loved it, but I never saw any of the older bears messing with it. After a month of bear activity the sucker was hardly licked down at all. Maybe I didn't use the right jello flavor...

    Old wounds

    I shot a buck once that had a .22 bullet in his back strap next to his spine.

    Grouse counts up 15%? BS from the Game and Fish to avoid listing or do you see more birds?

    I’m not as familiar with sage-grouse in Wyoming, but in general they can move huge distances (20+ miles). They basically migrate from summer range to winter. If there are plenty of forbs and insects higher currently, that’s where they will be. They’ll drop lower once the insects die off and...

    Grouse counts up 15%? BS from the Game and Fish to avoid listing or do you see more birds?

    They seem to be doing better in Northern Utah this year compared to last year. It also seems like chick survival was good this year with all the moisture we had.

    Western Wyoming not as bad as I thought

    I just got back from a scouting trip and saw 10 bucks in the first basin we checked, and 16 in the other. I did see some yearling bucks, not a ton but a few. It seemed like less deer than I saw a couple years ago when we went, but from what I saw it wasn’t all doom and gloom.

    Wyoming draw?

    Pulled a pair of G tags in the random draw. Excited about that!

    Oh man… that absolutely just breaks my heart. I drew an antelope tag near Rock Springs in 2019 and he had a Utah elk tag that same year. He helped me greatly with my antelope tag, and I showed him around his elk unit. He dropped everything one day, and got me out of a real bind when I got my...

    Have you ever drawn a random tag?

    Does a returned tag count? I got a call for a returned Coues tag in AZ a few years back and wasn’t close to the max point pool. Other than that, no luck. My wife holds the luck, her first big game tag was a cow moose tag in Utah. Drew with 0. The next year she pulled a rifle antelope tag with 1 pt.

    The REAL way to get muledeer numbers to go up!!

    Correlation does not imply causation. Just because numbers of elk are up and deer are down, does not mean that elk are responsible for the declining deer population.

    Have you ever shot an animal that had a previous wound?

    I have done the same thing with a buck I killed a few years back in southern Utah. There was a .22 bullet in his backstrap. Completely healed, and didn't notice until I was cutting it up. He had to only be an inch away from paralysis. The .22 bullet was completely intact though, never mushroomed...

    How many trips

    He had my entire camp, and his entire camp on his back. We were packed in for a 7 day trip, and he carried out my tent, sleeping bag, food, spotter, water filter, etc. his pack weight a little less than mine, but not much.

    How many trips

    Yeah, since that hunt, I've purchased a better pack that fits me, and learned how to adjust it appropriately when carrying heavy loads. Live and you learn!

    How many trips

    My longest packout was about 5 miles with 4000 ft of elevation loss. Boned out the whole thing, took every scrap of meat but not the cape. Big body buck. I was able to get it out in 1 trip. Sucked, but I did it. I wish I had a better pack than I had, and more knowledge about loading and sizing...

    Shed hunt closed

    Glad to see it, snow is very deep and crusty, no need to push animals more than needed. Whatever animal makes it through the winter will have great resources this spring. However, you’ll always have the idiots who are just “hiking”, ruining it for everyone who is abiding by the law.

    Opinions on ELDX for mule deer?

    We’ve shot bear, elk, deer, a cow moose, antelope, etc with my .270 shooting 145 grain eld-x. I haven’t lost an animal yet.

    Would GMU 50 be a good spot to draw a first time mule deer tag?

    I don’t think there will be many tags in the secondary draw, and they almost always go only to Youth. I wouldn’t plan on ever getting a tag in the secondary draw. Are you going to apply in the primary draw? Unit 50 takes a coupe preference points. If you are wanting to hunt this year you may...
