    Under the Lead Rainbow

    Lots of talk about long range weapons lately. I would love to hear any experiences of you or someone you know moving in on an animal just to have someone lob shots over your head at the same animal. I would imagine cases are on the rise, especially with the Muzzy's. (No Orange) Lets...

    Henry Mountains

    It sure has been quiet regarding the Henry's this year. Could it be that this unit has really fallen off the map? Or is it that people are just that much more hush hush these days ? Did anybody spend any time on the unit this year ? I am headed down in a couple weeks for the annual rut trip.

    Mentor Program

    I have a question regarding the mentor program. I know i could research it, but its easier to leave it to you "pro's". haha. Do you have to designate the shooter before the hunt ? The reason I ask is because I witnessed a Mentor tag where there were 2 shooters. Young kids, but 2 of...

    Actual Tag #'s

    I have a question. When you look at the DWR page for tag #'s for a specific unit, do those #'s reflect all the auction, expo, landowner, depredation, etc etc tags?? Take the Henry Mountains as an easy example. (10) archery tags (26) rifle tags (10) muzzy tags. Total of (46) tags...

    Hey All, I have decided to go back to the old stomping grounds after 15 years of hunting a different unit. We used to hunt deer and elk in the Twin Ponds area long ago. I recently learned that Gooseberry Road is now paved all the way from Salina to Johnson Res. I am sure this has changed...

    Guys, I think I know the anwser, but am looking for verification. I currently have a Fish Lake/ Plateau Muzzy deer tag. If I were to draw a cow elk tag for that area, even know the hunt dates are different, I can still shoot a cow during the deer hunt?? Am I correct??

    Vernon Cedar Cutting/Chaining

    Took a trip out to the Simpson side of the Vernon on Saturday in hopes of seeing a few deer. I was amazed at how much work is going on out there. They are chaining a ton of Cedars out on the north end near the Pony Express road. I am talking hundreds of acres. This is a good thing for the...

    Turning in a Tag

    Question, I will be turning in a general season muzzy tag this fall. Uncle drew a Vernon Muzzy tag so I will be helping there. Do I have to go to the Salt Lake Office to turn back the tag or can it be done another way? I will still keep my points if I turn back the tag? Is that correct??
