LAST EDITED ON Oct-04-18 AT 09:56PM (MST)[p]I haven't backpack hunted without packing in extra drinking water and its extremely heavy. This year I have a good running spring about 2 miles up the mountain and plan to camp nearby. How do you judge the source of the water and does it always need...

I'm looking for suggestions on antelope landowner tags for 2018. I want to get my Grandpa out on one last hunt before he retires his boots. We have hunted Wyoming 4 times in the past but the draw odds aren't what they used to be in the units we know. Any help is appreciated.

I thought I would share a photo of my buck that I got back recently. The taxidermist put in some really nice work on this. Unfortunately the photos aren't the best.

A couple of bucks that visit my girlfriend's house occasionally.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-28-15 AT 04:16PM (MST)[p]What a wonderful 2015 deer hunt. Spent 10 days with friends and family in Utah's great outdoors. On the 6th day of the hunt a friend of mine was able to take this big framed buck. I was ready to go home empty handed if I couldn't find something...

Hoping to get a little advice on the Vernon rifle hunt. Not looking for any honey holes just a point in the right direction for some areas to check out. The reports Ive got from last year seemed pretty bleak. I'm hoping the hunters just couldn't find em and they're out there even bigger this...

It's been awhile since I've posted. Still log on from time to time to check up on the current events in the hunting world. I thought I would pop in and get your guys' opinion on finding a self guided deer hunt. Preferably Utah, but would consider other hunts within 8 hours travel time from the...

Has anybody hunted the West Hills CWMU in the last few years? I drew a tag and will be hunting 11/1-11/5. I've heard that a 160 buck is the top end on the 22,000 acre ranch located west of Tremonton. I would be happy with a 140+ buck. Advice or any comments with past experiences would be great!

Every year I try to stop by and get a look at some of these local bucks here in SLC. These photos were from July 10th 2012.

Does anybody know if a percentage of the LE permits are held for youth like they do with the GS and Antlerless permits?

With the application period only a few months away, does anybody know when they plan to set the permit numbers for the new Utah hunting units? It seems to me that this isn't something the WB should just throw a dart at the wall and say "well lets try this this year and make adjustments next...

Saw my first hard horn buck of the season today. All the 2s and 3s were still packin velvet but this guy was completley cleaned up. He's not the biggest buck, but a good representation of the area. The photos are a bit foggy but thought you may enjoy them anyways.

After all these years of reading posts I am now wondering which spread everyone is referring to while describing a buck . Is it the inside or outside? Typically when I hear of a spread being over 28 I assume it's outside. I personally use inside spread since it is a measurement that can be used...

What are your guys' thoughts on deer patterns early October on the North Slope? What are the patterns of the bucks during this time of year? Going back in my mind I think I can account for just about every scenario possible, except full blown rut activity.

A harvest survey is required after you hunt a CWMU. Is there any way to access this info? I know some of the questions ask about the size of animal you harvested not just your satisfaction rate. I think a person's satisfaction could appear skewed the way the DWR lists it now. A person could go...

CHeck and see if got one guys.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-06-11 AT 06:26PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Feb-06-11 AT 06:25?PM (MST) I was fooling around with some of the DWR's data and came up with some possible permit #s by unit. Units in red are in need of help. The units in orange should be watched carefully Take a look at the units...

It looks like the Buck/Bull combo is quite popular. The odds on drawing this tag are worse than the odds in the Sourthern region. Are the posted odds for the Northern region accurate? The odds report indicates only 9,000 applicants tried for 18,000 permits. Does this report only represent an...

My daughter drew her third choice Three corners Nov, 20-30. We dont have much experience with this area during that time of the year. Do the animals migrate? Can you still find animals between Dutch John and Goslin? Any info on where to start would be greatly appreciated. I want her to have a...

My daughter drew her third choice on cow elk this year. She drew three corners Nov. 20-30. i have seen plenty of elk in this unit while fishing the Green. Any ideas if the elk are migratory? Which side of the unit should we hunt? Thanx in advance for any help.

Do bug sprays work to keep the ticks off you? My daughter and I came home tonight and found several ticks on us after hiking around the Vernon unit. I had an extremely painful bugger imbedded into my belly button.

With the general hunts being shortened this year how many years do you guys feel it will take to show a difference? Do you think it will help at all? I am guessing the DWR feels this is a better choice than lowering tag numbers or micro-managing smaller units. Just wondering what your guys'...
