My elk waiting period is up after next year. I want to get back into the elk game. I have 14 points for deer right now.
Any thoughts.
Book Cliffs Archery?
Diamond Mtn?
Vernon?
Not sure if I have enough to get Book Cliffs rifle? I’d like to find a 160-class buck—-or hopefully better.
It’s been a rough year for big bulls. I’ve only laid eyes on about 5 that would score over 340. There were three that I thought made it through the mid hunt but once they left the cows, we haven’t been able to turn them up. Here’s some bulls that we saw this past week-ish that didn’t make the...
Swarovski STS HD 80mm with 25-50X Wide Angle Eyepiece.
$2500
Has the upgraded/better wide angle eyepiece. Comes with full stay-on case. I have the boxes and all paperwork needed for transfer. Only selling because I’m inheriting an STX 95.
This is a sweetheart scope. Just got it back...
We’ve been moving my parents out of my childhood home. Ran into this cow elk hide that’s all tanned. It’s many years old but is still soft, supple, and in great shape. You could make a lot of gloves or whatever with it.
It’s not as orange in real life as the pictures make it seem.
I’m...
We are moving my parents into a 55+ community. They are getting rid of the vast majority of their stuff. I ended up with these three guns. I thought they were pretty cool. I think my grandpa got the 30-30 and the pistol new. The Teddy Roosevelt “big medicine” lever gun I’m not sure the...
I just got my Swarovski spotter back from Swarovski. They replaced the rubber on my eyepiece, ect. I’ve been running the PhoneSkope(see pic). It just seems that taking this on and off the spotter is really hard on the eyepiece rubber over time and it starts to tear because of the plastic...
Here’s some crappy pics of a really nice bull I saw this morning. The velvet throws it off. He’s much wider than where the velvet stops. 3 brows on both sides. Stud Utah Shiras I would say.
Pretty much new. I came to the decision they are just too tall for my liking. I’ve worn them for about an hour. My wife threw the box away so I can’t return them. They are the new version with the current lacing system.
$350
Are there any good places to dry camp with generators in the San Rafael Swell, Goblin Valey, Moab part of the state? Looks like it’s going to rain up here. It’s last minute, I just want to pull the Jayco and let the kids explore for the weekend.
Mint condition CZ Pro Varmint. Has the 16.5” bull barrel and is threaded for a suppressor.

This was the year I was going to pin some mature bulls down and get some matching sets. Everything was going to plan until the closure. I’m all about protecting the critters, it just sucks that all the law was going to do was keep the good guys off the mtn.
There were 4 bulls in the 315-340”...
I’m not sure if this has been shown, but the buck that gave Brian the slip turned up on the winter range. Heavyhorned is the ultimate finder. Haha.
Crazy how some bucks can hide.
Anybody know anyone with a bobcat tag above Orem/Provo area. I’ve been watching a dead moose the last few days and there’s a tanker of a bobcat eating on it. I not the best at judging but for a Bob this thing looks like a slob.

If the LE elk late hunts are gonzo and there’s now a late LE “HAMS” hunt and later archery hunt, then why do some elk hunts available for the expo show late any weapon like normal? What am I missing?
So boyz, where’s the best unit to pillage on Oct 7th next year? Bess? Dillon?
Can’t wait to welcome these bulls to the “general” side of things!!!!! Get them bull/cow ratios down on the first morning. I get my new .338 Lapua mañana. Let’s do this!!!!
If you had the Sportsman’s Tag or Governors Type tag that let you hunt with a rifle early season, would you ever tag out on a legit 190+ typical that you found on a general unit?
I know most guys that have these tags hunt the LE units and have a score in mind—-but does that fact that a deer on...
Good friend if mine has this tag. I'll cut to the chase.....not looking for any general areas to start looking.....we are needing a honey hole or two. Thanks in advance...…………..… : )
Well after reading Bobcat’s long-a$$ poem about Punkins——I decided it was time to set the alarm Friday night and get 4 hours worth of sleep before the general rife hunt.
My good buddy from Montana’s nephew lives in Utah and he has only killed one deer in his life back when he was 14. I’d been...
My suppressor came in so I’m using this as an excuse to get a Bergara with a threaded end. This is my go-to setup. Bergara Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor. Topped with a Vortex Razor LH 3-15x42 scope.
Ready to hunt right now. I’m the original owner and have the boxes for both. $1100 for the...
Other than the lack of water and warm temps....oh and the way more than the usual cluster of orange vests looking for forky bucks......anyone else not seeing the bulls where they normally are this time of year?
Last year at his time I was telling myself “hey, look on the bright side...the...
Here’s some grainy-a$$ pics of what I see to be a pretty good scoring deer. Not very wide but the forks should get him past the 175 mark I would think.
Oh man. Got the email today. I already have a packed fall. Figured I’d roll the dice and whammo!!!
Anyone hunt there the last few years? I know of some decent bucks that were killed. You think things will be a tad better with the not super terrible winter last year?
I tagged out on the opener for elk here in Utah and had a Montana deer tag in my glove box so o watched the weather and made the most of a cold, calm day after a little snow.
At first light I passed up two mature bucks in the 140-150 class range. Very hard to do with the right pointer...
