Agreed 💯

I agree and believe 2024 is gonna be good in Utah.

I doubt it Sir. They seem to hold the cuts due to not meeting the age class objectives. I am hoping to see the cuts stay. But your right for the average hunter it is a 5 point ragbull hunt anymore. The number of 300” plus bulls taken anymore is slim Pickens. But this year…….

Well said and good point of view.

I don’t hunt the same canyon ive moved about and looked at alot of the unit over a 20 year period. I just think it’s obvious from the lack of bigger bulls you see over a wide sample it’s easy to see that the trophy potential is what it is. I know there’s still good bulls. I could draw...

I’ll share an opposing opinion. I welcomed the cuts. The quality of the Wasatch in the areas I’m familiar with it’s never been worse. The DWR would not be making the recommended cuts if the age class objective didn’t suggest it. I hope the cuts stick.

Shoot 140’s and 150s for elk. And I use Nosler partition and Barnes triple shocks. 450 yard elk slayer. Easy! I chuckle at the 250 max yard limit comment. And the experts say you can shoot that 6.5 prc out deep. I’d take my .270s all week long over any 6.5.

From My perspective Idaho faces all the modern day challenges of all the other western states. I have Hunted it for deer in the early 2000’s. Have a had a few tags over the years. Killed my first bull elk as a 18 year old in the frank church back in 1996. Idahos been good to me and my...

Julius I’d strongly recommend the late hunt with an outfitter if you can.

That’s the one all the locals from Tucson seem to favor. Supposed to be good numbers of deer. Lots of hunting pressure but they must like it for a reason.

That’s the one all the locals from Tucson seem to favor. Lots of deer in the unit.

Several favorable weather condition years. Like 6 in a row. While I’m optimistic I worry if it will ever show what it’s capable of given all the factors.

I purchased this LRC custom muzzle loader in 2020 to go on a New Mexico elk hunt shot it a total of 18 times in prep. Have not hunted with it since. This thing shoots incredible. 400 yard capability. Will sell to include the Leupold VX5 3-15 that has the wind plex and all the possibles...

Please post pics. Scope or no scope?

💯 agreed!!

It ain’t good from my perspective and hasn’t been for a long time. UDWR has totally fubared it all in the spirit of increasing opportunity. You’d be better off killing a trophy 300”plus bull by buying an over the counter tag in Colorado. So many better options than the Satch. It’s my...

Well all I can say is I hunted a unit that bordered the reservation. We respected that line and my experience was 100% on the up and up.

Look no further than A3. I trusted my 22 non res points with them. Any unit your interested in they have specialist guides that operate in. Year in year out they are taking the best trophy bulls in the state. And I would steer clear of SVO. Was not impressed with their attention to detail...

I love hunting the state of Wyoming as much as I can. Hunted elk this fall with my dad and had a great time. My opinion is the residents are extremely mindful of the delicate situation of the western Wyoming deer herd. I spoke to some awesome people this fall and none of the residents I...

Selling a pair of 12x50 EL like new. Very lightly used. 2019 model year. Comes with installed outdoorsman stud and tripod adapter. Including Marsupial as well. Located central Utah. $2,800.

I’ll voice an opinion towards leaving it the way it is. This isn’t going to move the needle for improving deer or elk herds. The muzzle loader is still a 300 yard weapon with a scope and you better have some powder behind that charge or your facing a tough experience. We have allowed...

She’s sold. Thx all.

Not thinking the shipping would work too well.

We won this brand new Tikka 6.5 Creedmore. This rifle has never been fired. Including 5 boxes of Hornady match ammo. $600 cash. Located in central Utah. Travel to Salt Lake daily.

Completely understand. Wise choice.

Would you be interested in a 270wsm in a tikka t3? Great shooter. I need to part with some rifles. Hand loaded recipe included.

Well I’ve used 3 different outfits in AZ. It’s not even close. A3 top notch. My sample size. They cover the bases. I hunted a unit that bordered a reservation line and we respected that boundary fully. Again my experience.

A3 and you’ll never regret it. Congrats that hunt should be off the charts this year.

Out of curiosity how many points did you have?

I had the same thought initially. Didn’t make sense that not killing bucks puts more deer on the landscape but it I believe it could do just that. And the thought that having some young bucks on the landscape could divert predator attention towards them rather than does and fawns. I’ve...

Well said Hoss excellent points. It’s complex no doubt.

Deer in Utah are is such bad shape. I really like Garth Carters idea to model 4 point or better. I do agree and believe more of those young bucks on the landscape saves does and fawns lives by the predators getting to them rather than the does and fawns. Gosh isn’t something like this at...

I hunted the unit 1st rifle in 2013 diy horse back in about 8 miles. Fun trip with my brother. Took an average 5 point. We made a pretty short hunt out of it but with some scouting and time you could take a good 300” plus bull. I like the first rifle over the muzzle loader but that’s...

You’ll be cheating yourself if you don’t call A3. I’m sure glad I trusted those guys with my 22 elk points and had the absolute hunt of a lifetime. They take it seriously and are very client oriented.

Shane Scott runs a solid outfit. He is very accommodating to set up and taylor a hunt to your preferences. He has guides that are intimate with units.

Shane Scott Outfitting runs a good outfit. Very accommodating to what you want to set up.

I’d bet a batch it takes at least 5 this year. Went in special last year 3.5. Rejected.

Leo I would agree with that assessment.

I just did this year what your talking about doing. I spent 12 non res points for 31 December hunt thinking I’d be a shoe in to shoot a 100” plus buck. Even hired help. Didn’t see a buck remotely close to 100”. Had a great time however and my boy killed a cool buck. Really fun critters to...
