    What would you do ???

    I agree 100 percent. Some of my absolute favorite hunts have been antlerless hunts. I apologize for bringing up the antlerless points. I have a pile of them myself. I believe the Pauns is also a good option. I think a 200 ich buck is tall order on both those units currently, but as you...

    What would you do ???

    Lol.... it's like a regular one only costs more points! Sure you'll still get a antlerless critter on a regular hunt, but it wont be a premium antlerless critter.

    What would you do ???

    Seriously elkassassin? No disrespect intended, but you are obviously out of the loop on the Utah antlerless pools. These points won't even get a person a mid tier unit in the antlerless draws. Definitely not gonna get them a premium tag. You need 7 or 8 plus points to touch a premium antlerless...

    2023 harvest survey

    Interesting. I had a very similar experience on a antelope CWMU. The operator was super nice but the fact that there were no antelope on the property was beyond their control. I was informed I needed to contact the DWR to see if there was any options in this scenario. I accepted the fact...

    Any idea what he scores

    Definitely a 10 for a GS buck. If you mean the less important measurement, 155 -160ish.

    2023 harvest survey

    They drew a tag, went and looked.... didn't see any Buffalo in the unit. Complained to the DWR because it took all their points and Walla. I think that's it. It was discussed in one of these meetings I believe. This is not the first time this has happened.

    2023 harvest survey

    I'm thinking we need to bring the "everyone gets a trophy " theory into our draw system for sure. It's way overdue. We could maybe add another check box to the application that costs like an additional $200 and it gives you a chance to do over (and over) if you are unsuccessful. Sorta like a...

    Anyone wanna talk lead ballons? Do you have any in your collection? Any you want for your collection?

    Agreed! I love all my lead balloons, but if I didn't reload, I would think differently I suppose. My 25wssm is easy to carry and exceptionally accurate. Performance is quite well on deer and antelope. I can't remember the last time I ran across factory ammo on the shelf.

    Anyone wanna talk lead ballons? Do you have any in your collection? Any you want for your collection?

    What about 338 Federal? Lead balloon status? I thought that one would be a bit more popular than it was.

    Anyone wanna talk lead ballons? Do you have any in your collection? Any you want for your collection?

    I watched an A-bolt in a pawn shop that hung out for years there in a 222rem. It was a good looking rifle, and the price tag got pretty low . Probably should have snagged that one. That is how I acquired my 35 Whelen. It just kept showing up on a local page and the price just kept going down...

    Anyone wanna talk lead ballons? Do you have any in your collection? Any you want for your collection?

    Do you have a 17wsm Homer? I wondered what those would be like when they released them, but I don't know anyone that has one.

    Anyone wanna talk lead ballons? Do you have any in your collection? Any you want for your collection?

    During the off season I'll take some time to listen to some podcasts, watch some YouTube, read some books etc..... I ran across a podcast where they were showcasing cartridges that for whatever reason never became successful. They labeled these cartridges lead balloons. I realized I have...

    Cutthroats Only

    Off topic but how do you post pictures? Is there instructions anywhere? Sorry I'm a bit technologically challenged on the interweb sites.

    Isn't it beautiful? Just wait until we get the tiger muskie thread going.........

    Walleye in Strawberry ??

    No way any self respecting walleye going to get hungry enough to eat a chub. The cutthroat are going to have to step up or well just have to wait for the pike to show up. You know they are coming eventually.

    Walleye in Strawberry ??

    That's because we were talking about walleye in strawberry i think! Pretty sure that one flusher. You ever watched finding Nemo elk? All pipes lead to the ocean.

    Walleye in Strawberry ??

    That looks like the same one I released 2002. Same spot patterns and everything. It needed a few more years to fill out. I thought we were talking about walleye?

    Walleye in Strawberry ??

    I know we all question elkassasins memory, but for what it's worth, my fishing pals and I were serious muskie fisherman. Obsessed would be an understatement. We developed tactics that were unconventional in and we targeted monster tiger muskie. They are pretty hard fish to catch so we had to...

    Walleye in Strawberry ??

    I actually forgot we had a fishing season in Utah. I don't remember when that ended, but I do remember dad talking about it. Did you have to wear orange on opening day?

    Walleye in Strawberry ??

    I admit I do have a bias towards chubby trout on the end of a fly rod. With that said, if I have a choice, I'm eating the walleye. That's it, you have convinced me it's fish for dinner tonight!

    Walleye in Strawberry ??

    I haven't been out in a while, but I haven't caught any that broke the 22inch mark in some time now. The walleye is interesting. Wondering how that will play out in the future. I would have to think it's probably not the only one in there though.

    Walleye in Strawberry ??

    Yes. I think we covered this one when we got off topic in another thread. You have to teleport back to the late 90s early 2000 era. They were everywhere in strawberry. I bet elkassasin probably hit strawberry during the good old days and could tell you exactly what era to set the time machine...

    Or at least get the heck off elkassasins thread and start our own.

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    You are going to need to dummy this comment down for me again. SPLAIN what you are trying to say here. Are you questioning the part where I like to reel in trout as long as my leg or listen to elk bugling in the background while I'm doing this?
  26. M

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    Indeed the good old days on the Wasatch. In September, you could set on the lake pulling trout out as long as your leg and listen to elk bugle all morning long in every direction. To me, the best part had to be the trout though. Elk were just there to enhance my fishing experience.

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    Did we even have e-mail and websites in 2002? Probably that old dial up internet we had. The 6 week gap is explainable though, probably took that long to go through the phone line to Wyoming.

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    YES! I doubt there will even be 18 people willing to pony up the money after reading this tread. I might not have to take your tag, we'll both have one.

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    One time I was on a reloading site and I had a specific question I needed someone with experience to answer. There was this one guy who was super smart on the site. He knew his stuff, but he spoke in some sort of engineer/physics lingo. I had no idea what his information meant so I said " do we...

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    You said "It Won't Be Me PUSSIN Out On THE RIDE If I'm Still Alive!" Super moderators could take that as you were calling Vanilla and Hawky pu$$ies. You can't name call on some sites. And if that hurt Vanilla, he could also file a hurt feelings report.

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    Just off of the posts today, on a regular sites, you would be "USER BANNED" already. Strike 1, called vanilla a bad word. Strike 2, posting off topic, strike 3, continue to post off topic after strike 2. The only way you wouldn't be banned is if you got put in jail for 30 days because you...

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    So like if the moderator says "elkassasin, you can't say FN because we know it's a bad word" , then tomorrow you say "that dudes a plick" and the super moderator says "strike 2" under your name and you then reply " O ba!!$, the FN mall cops are after me" ..... then they boot you off, and where...

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    I figured this is elkassasins thread and he has driven us off the road as much as anyone so ..... Not sure if you all have been on regular sites but they recruit some pretty serious dudes to moderate those things and they are strict. I would have been contacted and possibly in jail for 30 days...

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    Like what you got in mind elkassasin? What is the best LeDoux song? Who is the ultimate classic country artist? Or have you guys already hashed those out?

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    Well it looks like we are done here then boys. It's all settled now, we all won. Let's lock this one down Slamdunk. There is literally nothing more to discuss here.

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    No way! Do not tell me you all are classic country fans as well. Well this argument should have been over before it even started then. That right there is enough common ground to build pretty much anything of substance on. Do you all blast "Call of thr Wild" wild as you're blazing down the...

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    O my goodness you guys. I think I have an idea I'm going to pitch to the various RACS that could possibly make elkassasin AND Vanilla happy simultaneously. Actually we might need to start a new committee to monitor this one. Hear me out..... So you know that Chris LeDoux song where the bikers...

    WASATCH ELK 2024???

    I reload so I just build my own. Loaded ammo is pretty much non existing at this time. I did see some show up on the nosler blemished site right before Christmas though. It went fast.
