My daughter wants to shoot a "Sniper Rifle" for her birthday. Are there any companies in Utah that let you shoot their long range rifles for a fee, say trying to get a 1000 yard shot?

Anyone hunt elk around the Moon Lake area? Is it worth looking around or do they just all head onto the reservation? Thanks.

I love the Henry Mountains. I get there about four times a year just to camp and spot big deer. I just came across an old Indian legend about giant snakes living in one canyon, or somewhere. Has anyone ever read anything about that. Do you have any links or written stories ? I want to check it...

I need to find a 7.5 min topo of the Henry Mountains printed in 1967. It could be Mount Pennell or Mount Ellen or any of the adjacent maps. I have been looking everywhere for months. If you or someone you know has spent a lot of time there and might have that map, can you PM me or send me...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-01-17 AT 02:36PM (MST)[p]I have max elk points and think I will have enough time to hunt for several weeks next year. Where would you put in to have the best chance at a 400" bull in Utah? I am a resident.

There are a few general buck tags, muzzy and archery, left they will sell on a first come basis over the counter in July. How fast will they go? Are they impossible to get, do you have to wait in line at 4:00 am or will they take a few days to sell out? Anyone know or have any experience?

Time to change my old red dot to a magnified scope. What are you recommendations?

I am going to be in Hanksville for work in about a week and want to spend a little time in the Henry's. Can it be accessed at all this time of year, are the roads passable or will the snow have it all locked up?

I am working on a long distance hiking project in the High Uinta's. I need to know about re-supply places within a 5 mile distance of any part of the Uinta's or surrounding area. Places with any of the following: food, prepared meals, lodging, showers, camp hosts or a place to drop off and...

Where can I find what the max preference points for a species in Utah are up to and approximately how many people have that many? I remember reading it some years ago.

I just watched the movie "Wild" on cable. About an hour thirty into the movie, when she is running away from the bow hunters through a dark forest, something moves in the background over her left shoulder. It also has some kind of a reflection. I can't freeze frame it clear enough to see what...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-03-15 AT 10:58PM (MST)[p]This is a serious question and I hope it doesn't devolve into the gutter. I want to know what people really think based on their own experience and what you know about family and friends. How little sex is a husband expected to live with, (or...

Are the Utah archery units the same as the any weapon units?

Looking to hear some things you do for your wife to keep her happy, even though you think it is completely stupid and you don't know anyone else that does it. Here's mine. For more than 20 years I have saved every single receipt, including the $1.00 Redbox, and given them to her once a week...

My uncle, who taught me to hunt and fall in love with the outdoors is finally getting too old to hunt on his own. He lives in Arizona. I would like to take him elk hunting and when he heard elk tags were over the counter in Utah he got pretty excited. I thought if we could find an area in...

What CWMU or other outfitter leases Kennecott?

I need to put a scope on a new .243 for my son to hunt this year. Want to stay under $200.00 if I can. Any recomendations? Thanks. Todd

My son has decided he wants to shoot this year. Does anyone know the odds of the Youth buck permit and the Youth Any Bull permit? When do Northern Region buck tags sell out if he doesn't draw? I've been in the Dedicated Hunter program forever and haven't kept up on anything else. Thanks. Todd

I want to apply for tags at the Expo. In 2011 I will be in my second year of the Dedicated Hunter program. The registration says I need a hunting tag but I won't do my service hours for this year until later. What do I do? Todd

If you had MAX POINTS in Utah, where would you put in for next year and why?

I have an idea but don't know what product to use or even how to make something myself. I'm sure someone out there has a good way of doing it. This started as a way to protect myself at scout camp, but I figured it could be used at any campsite to help detect animals. I want to sprinkle/spray...

I've been seeing in some homes a room that has a safe door on it, usually in the basement under the front porch so that it is surrounded by cement. They use these instead of a gun safe. Anyone have one? Would you recommend it or have any pointers, suppliers? I'm thinking about putting one in...

What features of a trail camera are essential and what are a waste of money? I'm am looking to buy several and was wondering what ones would give me the biggest bang for the buck. Any other thoughts would be appreciated like the best place to buy them etc. Thanks. Todd

LAST EDITED ON Nov-20-07 AT 11:27AM (MST)[p]Do you know of some private property willing to lease the hunting rights but you can't afford it. Let me know. I'll lease the hunting rights and let you hunt for free as a finders fee. I am looking for ground in Northern Utah that has both deer and...

Can someone tell me where South Mountain is on the West side of Browns Hole. I can't find the dang place on a map. Thanks. Todd

Now that this season is over, it's time to think about next year. We camp at Flaming Gorge every year for a whole week. This time I think I would like to get some scouting in for elk. I don't mind driving a little bit and hiking a lot. I'm not asking for honey holes, duh, but some suggestions...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-09-07 AT 04:35PM (MST)[p]I am thinking of taking my boys hunting on the East side of Bear Lake, Utah side. Does anyone have any thoughts or know the area? PM or email me if you like. Thanks for the help. Todd

Here in Utah the weather report says we will have snow on Saturday, opening weekend of the rifle hunt. What is everyone's thoughts and experience with this. Are you excited, why? Are you bummed? Will your plans change? How will you hunt with the weather? I am looking for advice and general...

I know the range of comments and thoughts for this question will be all over the board, but I do need some good answers so that I know I'm not getting ripped off. How much do most guides charge if you draw a LE elk tag, 1x1, public ground? Are they worth it? Thank You. Todd

I've always read and heard that there are some mule deer that are born, live, and die without ever being seen by a human. I believe this is possible. Considering an elks herd mentality, range, guides scouting for them and other factors, do you think it is possible for there to be a 400" plus...

What are the pros and cons of the early and late elk hunts in Utah. I notice not as many people put in for the late hunts and they have better odds. Why? Thanks. Todd

I have hunted public land in Northern Utah for 20 yeare now, and I've always had a couple of hunting spots that I was completely alone. No one except myself hunted it. I realized this year that all of those spots have dried up and it has been three or four years since I have been all alone. I...

I went scouting yesterday in a new area and a new situation for me. Typical mountain side with thick drainages, sparse finger ridges, transition areas, scrub oak, sage, pinions etc., but at the base it fed into planted fields. I've never hunted around fields before. Betweem 6:15 and 6:45 82 deer...

For the first time in 10 years, I didn't receive a letter or email telling me I didn't draw. I checked the website and sure enough, I didn't. I applied on line, like always. Does this mean they didn't get my application, or has anyone else never received notice that they didn't draw. Thanks...

Which GPS is the most accurate, or all they all about the same. I want to mark the corners and boundaries of a friends property and the more accurate the better. Thanks. Todd

Does anyone have any information about Promontory or North Promotory Point CWMU? I'm mostly interested in the quality of bucks that can be shot there, but any usefull information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I am taking 8 cousins, age 7-12, elk hunting this weekend on Monte Cristo. Anyone know how much snow is there? Thanks. Todd

How do I find the boundary for Big Mountain CWMU. A map of it is not on the DWR website. Thanks. Todd

I was hoping someone shed hunts a certain area and would share some advice on where to look. I don't want to say the exact area, but it is in N. Utah, it's good wintering ground and one area in there is called Browns H. I was in there April 16 with my kids and there were 20 horse trailers at...

Are there any states that have hunts that are easier to draw if you muzzleload hunt instead of rifle, for deer or elk? I have switched to muzzleloader here in Utah a few years ago and haven't looked back. Now I'm looking for extra states to hunt. Thanks. Todd
