    Another Educational Opportunity

    If anyone likes to learn things… https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rokcast/id1473746379?i=1000651074671 I found this podcast really interesting as well. I would really recommend listening yourself and not just reading what others on this and other sites say about it.

    Cutthroats Only

    So Bessy got me thinking about my favorite trout, which is by far a cutthroat. Which cuttthroat, you may wonder? Well, that depends on the day. But I love cutthroats. Bessy posted this picture below in the other thread, but it’s a real beauty, so it needs to kick us off here as well. Go ahead...

    Bessy’s Alcatraz Buck

    Looks like Bessy was nice and let Jimmy John take pics with his Alcatraz buck. Hey, do you all remember the talk that too many tags (2?!?!?) have been issued on the island and the big genetics have been shot out of the herd? Yeah…I’m glad I never bought that rubbish! For a pic and more...

    Tag Cuts Upon Tag Cuts

    Well, we are now down to just 64k buck deer tags in Utah. This is the fifth year in a row that tag numbers have been cut. How many more need to be cut next year when this does exactly Jack squat for our deer herds? I mean, we are almost down to just 25% of the number of tags we had in the glory...

    BESSY! Here is your chance: Fix the Henry’s

Here is your chance to get rid of all the terrible management of the last 40 years (or is it 50 now?), and fix the Henry Mountains deer herd. JakeH had a great question that in classic...

    Elk Hunting One Pool - What would you do?

    This question was asked in another thread and the poster said he’d do a poll if he knew how, so here we are! What if elk hunting went into one pool only? You draw any tag here, you lose your points. No wait period, you can jump right back in each year. I realize there wouldn’t be general vs...

    KUIU Sheep Transplant

    This is a really cool story. KUIU already did one of these projects, and this second one will continue to boost the nursery herd. I love that there are REAL conservation organizations out there. Groups that fund and complete conservation projects on their own with no strings attached. They...

    New Elk Management Plan

    https://wildlife.utah.gov/public_meetings/rac/2022-11-rac-packet.pdf This ought to cause some discussion. Archery hunters get so many benefits in Utah. Maybe it's time for EVERYONE to pick up a bow and start benefiting from those perks this minority of hunters has been able to fenagle.

    Vortex Skyline Tripod kit

    Any opinions on this tripod? I have the 65mm Razor spotter. My first tripod was the Vortex SS-P. I love the size, weight, and packability of it. It's a pretty good tripod for the money, especially if you hike a lot. The issue I have that makes me want to upgrade is there is too much lag in the...

    The Force Awakens...

    In 2008, the Utah Supreme Court ruled unanimously 5-0 that the use of public waters flowing over private lands could not be prohibited. In 2009, a legislator from Corrine named Ben Ferry (who lost his seat in the next election due to this single issue) crafted a bill to flip that judicial...

    Late Currant Creek Cow Elk

    Well, I drew a late CC cow tag. I'm excited as I've never hunted this late before and I always like a new challenge. The hunt starts mid-January and goes to the end of the month. Any pointers anyone can give me on this? Where do these elk go in January?

    Waterproofing question

    I have a 'waterproof' coat that is not quite as waterproof as I would like it to be. Does anybody have any suggestions for a good waterproofing agent for hunting gear that doesn't quite meet the mark for waterproofing?

    Tooth Data

    Tooth data is posted. I think there was a mistake or mix up of some sort. 3 years old? I'm having a hard time believing that.

    Transfer tags to youth?

    http://le.utah.gov/~2013/bills/sbillint/SB0061.htm I haven't fully vetted this in my head but my initial thought is I think I'm okay with this. Thoughts?

    Tooth Data

    Anyone know when the DWR usually gets tooth data posted on the harvest surveys? Not that I'm antsy to find out or anything! I'm sure it's still a ways away. Just wondering if there is a regular time frame or if its a crap shoot.

    Pauns Buck

    LAST EDITED ON Nov-06-12 AT 02:48PM (MST)[p]This year I had my first experience hunting the Pauns. I had never stepped foot on the unit in my life and didn't really know what I was getting myself into. After countless hours pouring over topo maps studying the unit, speaking with people willing...

    Taxidermist help

    Found 'the one' today. Anyone have advice on a good taxidermist? I'm in Provo so location in the Utah/Salt Lake county areas would be best, if there's a good one. Price s always a factor in my world, but would quibble with $100 extra for a great job. Story and pics to come when I fully...

    Caliber ?

    I am getting a new rifle soon, and I need some help deciding what I want to get. I want it to be my all-around rifle for deer and elk. What caliber do you guys suggest as the best all-around caliber? One that isn't too big for deer, isn't too small for elk, but just right for both. I know I...
