LAST EDITED ON Sep-15-16 AT 10:38AM (MST)[p]Whatever became of the 40" Utah buck that the DWR captured on trail cam? Did he make it through archery season?

Here's one my 71 year old father took after 11 years of putting in. We received a cell phone call mid-day during the second day letting us know there had been a family emergency and that we needed to head home. A decision was made to make a last minute effort to find a buck. We put my father on...

Is there a bedding material out there that can be used to bed an action to a factory Remington, Winchester, Ruger, etc... synthetic stock? I have a Remington 700 XCR and I'm not so sure the existing epoxy based bedding materials will stick to what appears to be more of a plastic stock than...

VENISON VERSUS BEEF - THE TASTE CONTROVERSY ENDS FROM THE UNITED STATES VENISON COUNCIL Controversy has long raged about the relative quality and taste of venison and beef as gourmet foods. Some people say that venison is tough, with a strong "wild" taste. Others insist that venison's...

I'm posting this for a friend (Keith) who shot his first bull elk on opening day of the Wasatch limited entry rifle hunt. We hunted near White River were we found four separate bulls bugling in the same small canyon. We started a stock on the closest one that had the deepest growl. After...

I recently purchased a Remington 700 Sendero SFII chambered for the 7mm Remington Mag. With the exception of adjusting the factory trigger down to 2.5 pounds there have been no modifications made to the rifle. I carefully cleaned the barrel after each shot for the first ten shots fired through...

Anyone know where I can find the ballistic coefficient for the 40 grain full metal jacket loaded in Federal's .22 Win. Mag. Load # 737? Thank you

I recently purchased a new Browning BAR Safari II in .300 Win Mag w/BOSS. With the exception of the trigger the rifle is very nice looking and enjoyable to shoot. Soooo... what's up with the trigger in these things. The pull weight itself doesn't seem to bad, but the creep is horrible. Is there...

Here is a nice 6x6 bull taken by Kyle and his dad on the Utah Youth Elk Hunt. This is Kyle's first elk hunt. He took the bull just before dark as he stepped out of the trees with three cows. His parents presented him with his 7mm Rem. Mag. as a congratulations gift for earning his Eagle Scout...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-15-08 AT 07:13PM (MST)[p]Here's an exciting, and true, story that some of you will debate the ethics of for quite some time. Why? Because Chad put this bull elk down at an honest 973 laser yards. Believe it or not here is the story of my cousin - Chad's - Wasatch opening...

LAST EDITED ON May-12-08 AT 02:50PM (MST)[p]The weather was very cool, crisp and windy on the Blue Mountains of Monticello, Utah. So cool that I ran an entire 7 gal propane take out keeping my camp trailer warm. We had a great time regardless. My parents pulled their trailer down with us...

Is there a company or individual out there that offers a magazine system for the Browning BAR that hold more rounds than that offered by the factory? I would like to purchase a BAR Safari in .300 WSM but want to carry more rounds than just the 2 offered in the factory magazine. More like 4 or...

I have a beautiful Sako rifle factory chambered for the 7mm Remington Ultra Mag cartridge. In this particular rifle I can't get factory loads, or handloads to shoot worth a darn. I'm wondering if I can have this rifle rebarreled to handle the .338 Lapua cartridge. Thanks in advance.

My 15 year old son's first big game hunt was cancelled last year because of a bad dirt bike accident on the Labor Day holiday. He spent almost a month in the hospital... 4 days of which were spent in a coma. He's recovered very well over the past year and was not about to miss the hunting...

I'm looking for a gunsmith that is very competent in working on Browning A-Bolt's. I want to rebarrel a stainless stalker, lighten it's trigger, and smooth out the rough edges in the magazine. Any good references would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

These photos struck me as a little odd. It leads me to belive there are other methods for taking trophy elk other than slinging projectiles. I'm told this happened in Montana, but I have no other details. Someone most likely hit it with a vehicle, or shot it and it headed for the water to...

This is a 320 5x6 bull I took on a recent Wyoming migration hunt. He was with one other smaller bull and a large group of cows and calves. They all past by me at about 150 yards. When the larger of the bulls was about straight across from me I gave a couple of cow calls to stop him, then put...

Has anyone developed a pet load using a premium 140 grain bullet for the big 7mm Remington Ultra Mag? I've already looked at what the few bullet and powder manufacturers have put out. I'm interested in what other 7mm Ultra Mag shooters have come up with. Thanks in advance.

I've never owned a muzzleloader before, nor have I hunted with one. But I'd like to. I have friends that own both Thomson and Knight 50 cal inline muzzleloaders, and each of them swear their rifles are the best. So I'm looking for additional feedback from muzzleloader worshippers on this...

This is my fifteen year old son's first elk taken in Utah on the special youth hunt this past September. We were working a larger bull that was bugling down in a thickly wooded creek bottom when we heard a limb crack a little ways behind us. We looked around, but couldn't see a thing. We...

Who in Utah can do elk antler replications? Thanks in advance.

Are there any decent bulls showing up on the National Elk Refuge by Jackson, Wyoming yet? By decent I mean 330 + bulls.

Below are some images of the 7x6 bull two of my good friends shot this past Tuesday. We were hunting with Teton Country Outfitters in Wyoming area 71 of the Teton Wilderness. We rode up on this big guy with the horses as he was beded down trying to stay out of the wind and snow. My friends...

LAST EDITED ON May-20-05 AT 03:08PM (MST)[p]I had a friend at work put a .mpg clip togehter of my daughters turkey hunt last weekend. It's just over 10 MB so it will take a bit to load if you don't have high speed internet. It can be accessed at: http://www.204ruger.com/turkey.mpg

With all the spring rains the drive from Utah County to Monticello Friday afternoon was absolutely beautiful. Evidently we weren't the only ones looking to take advantage of the upcoming sunny weekend weather. Lots of Jeeps and ATVs headed for Moab, and boats headed for Lake Powell. However...

Are the Henry Mountains home to a decent elk heard? I was notified today that my 15 year old son drew a Youth General Any Bull tag. I'm looking for a good area to take him on his first elk hunt. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone out here have experience with Teton Country Outfitters run by Ladd and Cassi Dik? Their camp is located on the western edge of the Teton Wilderness. It's just two miles south of Yellowstone National park at the junction of Coulter and Wolverine Creeks in Wyoming elk area 71. We...

I have a beautiful walnut gun stock blank I aquired from my dad after his health no longer allowed him to build custom rifles. I'm hoping to find someone in the state of Utah to work the blank into a stock that I can use for a new rifle project I have in mind. Any information you can provide...

What's the deal with the major bullet manufacturers like Nosler and Barnes not putting out load data for the big 7mm Remington Ultra Mag? This cartridge came out at the same time as the .375 Ultra Mag. There's ton's of load data for this bad boy, but not for the 7mm Ultra Mag. Is this a sign the...

This is a friend of mine at work who took this nice buck on opening day in North Western, Utah. He shoots a Ruger M77 in 270 WSM. ... and this is the benefits of being in a wheelchair. Let Dad and the kids take care of the dirty job.

Here are a few photos of my son's first mule deer buck. He's 14 years old and absolutely thrilled... and so is his dad. We hunted around the Mt. Timpanogas area opening morning this year and found this buck and his brother hanging out in a little pocket of aspens and brush. This buck...

What makes the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet tougher than the bonded Accubond by Nosler and the bonded Interbond by Hornady? The Bear Claw seem to hold together and retain it's weight allot better

On page 27 of the proclamation I can see the order in which they draw for each species of big game. Are these draws all conducted on the same day, or are they spread out over a couple of days or more? I have one item showing up on my online credit card statement as follows: 4/13/2004 Utah...

I'm looking for the premium public areas in Arizona to apply for a permit to hunt both mule deer and elk. For mule deer I know the Kaibab and the strip are the coveted units, but these units are broken up into smaller areas. What are those areas by unit and which area is the absolute most...

The reality of hunting bull elk outside of the rut is now sinking in quite hard. I've spent a few days over the past three weeks calling and stalking elk with friends and family who have limited entry archery and rifle tags. It's easy to locate and get onto bulls during the rut, but how do you...
