Points and 61 archery elk for me as a NR…plus moose lottery. Good luck everybody!

I am pretty sure AZ allows scopes on Muzzleloader hunts but not on HAM hunts. Just FYI

No pictures but… In between my freshman and sophomore year at University or Utah, my cousin and I went on a fly fishing pilgrimage. We drove the California coast up through Oregon, into Washington, through Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and finishing in Utah fishing all the famous rivers on the way...

This initial report is junk IMO. The tags are for sale and anybody can buy them. It’s the system NM set up and we play by their rules. However, complaining that more NR but the available tags is a big nothing burger to me. The tags are available to the residents, they choose not to exercise...

I plan on calling souther Utah DWR janitor to get approval! BLAM!

Ok. Sorry, I have hunted 70 4th season and it was high demand when I drew the tag. 61 would be a good hunt. I guess the hunts I have been putting in have all been high demand so I shouldn’t see much of any change. I did when they originally shifted to 25%. Good luck this year!

I thought high demand units have been 25 for several years. Is that wrong?

He was a muzzy hunter and didn’t like the change. Just sayin, karma!

I am very fortunate… my wife loves me. I can’t even count the number of times she has had to put up with my crazy ideas and twisted sense of humor. That said, last election I didn’t really like either candidate, so I wrote her name in. She has definitely made my life better and is an awesome...

I genuinely believe women don’t understand how men flirt. I nice rubber band shot is really like the first salvo in the mating ritual for most of us. Unfortunately, it is often received as a real declaration of a verbal war. I don’t feel that was the direction I had been communicating but...

I would be at 25 points. Nowhere near enough for a top tier unit. However, I do think forcing people to choose would help. Being able to build LE points while still hunting GS does devalue points. I am about to retire…2-3 years. I plan on using my points when I have a ton of time.

What happened to big game forever and Peay. Was there some sort of falling out?

I know what’s written but I am still nervous. My tag expires on Feb 8th. I am set for auto renew but still makes me nervous. This is the first year I didn’t buy the tag with the draw.

I have used Furry universal fit, 460 grn no excuse and Thor. The furry are really good and what we have used for Colorado elk recently. The no excuse have also been a proven killer for us. The fury give a better BC and are more forgiving out to 175-200. As far as I can shoot with open sights.

Sorry to say, I asked my magic 8-ball if I was going to get priority on all the AZ random tags. It responded “It is decidedly so”. Looks like it’s going to be another dry year for most of you… Good luck in the draws. I archery hunted unit 9 in 2015 and it took 17 points to draw then. I wish...

I have a Benelli M2 and absolutely love it. I have never had any issues at all…Zero!

I am very sorry for your loss. My “Doc” passed away many years ago and I swore off dogs ever again. Well…after several years without a dog. We now have maple.

The sad thing is…I can already hear the jokes about California forming, I grew up in Southern California, Huntington Beach. We went to TJ to shop (the sandals with the tire tread were awesome). In the 80s the border was not secure. We watched as hundreds of illegals rushed the border every...

That can’t be true. We have a Border CZAR and she is doing a great job! I heard herd cackling about the streamlined process they developed for their Democrat constituents and mail in voters for next vote.

You never know who does this type of poaching. One year we were set up in bow camp in Utah the day before opening day archery. One of friend never showed up. The next day after opening morning he shows up in his wife’s car without his bow. He was very sheepish but finally admitted that while...

I want a Unit 61 archery elk tag. Still a few years away even with 24 points

When I started applying for Colorado the u it I wanted to draw took 4 points. I now have 24 points and am only one behind the break. I wish there was a good way to address the point creep. I would love to draw a decent elk tag and be done.

I have it on good authority that point creep is over and we can all expect tags next year. 🙏Good luck in the draws…next year. It really is too early for me to think about point creep.

Only a couple people really know but I would guess he knew she shot the buck and was really trying to jump in front of her. He has articles about long range shooting and then in the moment of truth forgets to range at 700 yards. I don’t buy it. Most people have their rifles sighted in for...

The one to put it down can claim the deer. They should determine he put the final shot so it’s his…to me, when you see somebody tracking a deer you shouldn’t jump over them to get the final shot and claim the deer. This guy should have helped them track the deer and put it down. Then IMO...

From another site: not sure if it is legit but if it is…poetic justice.

I just figured it wasn’t worth it. He was way too excited. I have never been crazy about deer…elk yes but not deer. I got to continue hunting and shot a slightly smaller (scored 178) deer the next day. The other two guys refused to hang out with him again. So, he lost two childhood friends...

I had an incident like this 20 plus years ago. It was a legit 185 class buck on public land. I was hunting with a group of four guys. I shot the buck and it went down. One of the guys in the group ran up (scampered up in deep snow because he was just a little guy) to the downed deer and put...

He is in my prayers. Threads like this break my heart.

Awesome job!

I know they are expensive but, watch Camofire for the Sitka Ballistic Vest. It’s very nice, has lasted several years, and worth if for me at discount price.

I have seen cats ruin an area. Sorry to hear that. Deer and elk will definitely respond to pressure from a cat in the area. To many places to go without cats.

This peep fits on any picatinny style rail and is a great muzzleloader sight. Any person that wants to bend the rules could swap this with a scope in less than 30 seconds in the field. I would be willing to bet there are a bunch of these sold next year to Utah hunters. When you have guides...

Fits right onto a picatinny rail. Greet peep for a muzzleloader. What’s the issue with having a rail on your muzzleloader. For the nefarious hunter, less than a 1 min swap. The rule will be broker a thousand times over. If WLH can allegedly use helicopters and other illegal hunting...

I don’t think there is a quick fix for wildlife issues. It took us a long time to get here and will take even longer to get things right again. Taking the scope will not change much. People want to go back to yesterday (figuratively speaking). They remember what they think muzzleloading use...

We also had 340 class black bull in Colorado 201. We had seen him 400-500 yards off and initially thought he was just covered in mud. Nope, we saw him two more times. Once was 30-40 yards away. He was a black elk. Super cool to see up close. We researched and found out it was melanistic...

I only had my IPhone and the bull was about 75 yards away so the picture was worthless. I was in New Mexico for a Unit 15 late season muzzleloader. I had a solid 300 class bull with a left side drop antler. Normal 6 point on right but the left antler, perfect formed 6, grew straight down...

Just a quick FYI. The truth about long range Muzzleloaders…@700 yards you are looking at a 124 inch over 10 foot) drop and a 36 inch (3 foot) drift in a 10 mile an hour crosswind. You can’t simply pick up a long range muzzleloader and hit an animal at long range. This takes significant...

Jealous much? I just haven’t gotten around to use my 36 Javi points. Waiting for the right year for my P&Y javi. Jk
