Thought I had things figured. Went to apply my boy and found out I misinterpreted the age requirement. Needing now to change unit and season, limiting his options. Like always, we'll try for a nice buck. However, this is more about his first hunt and hopefully first buck. Would like to discuss a...

My two boys (will be 11 and 12 this year) have completed hunters safety in our state. I'm looking into applying them for big game hunts, which it looks like AZ has youth only opportunities. The youth only elk tags are for cow elk, correct? If drawn, do these provide decent opportunity on public...

Custom build 7mm-08 by Lee Christiansen out of WI. Spiral fluting of barrel and all cerakote done by Karl Kampfeld. Rifle has mostly been a safe queen. Has some brass rash on the cerakote and safe marks on bolt knob. Otherwise in what I would call great condition. It has less than 200 rounds of...

Decided I would go ahead and share. Had a fun year in CO chasing mule deer. Due to work we weren't able to hunt until halfway through the season. We ran into lots of elk, and a few nice bucks. As a storm rolled in we decided to watch some deer that were hovering the private/public borders. We...

I've packed lots of animals out with this. Does have some blood stain from last season. Otherwise good condition. Pet free and smoke free home. I do have the inserts (not pictured). Forgot to grab them from the closet. Located in Central UT $235 shipped conus

As I was washing my vehicle I realized my trailer ramps were gone. My guess is they bounced off my trailer driving up the hill leaving the sand ledges this morning. I went back but did not find them. Talking to the cattlemen they mentioned they did perhaps see someone that looked like they were...

I couldn't be happier with how this one turned out.

Anyone that has hunted this cwmu for deer? I'm not overly concerned about size of deer, rather as a public hunter what and how I'll be able to spend my day hunting. Feel free to PM if you have any info. Thanks

I'm going to be having my bull mounted shortly from this past year. There are a couple elk in the house already, so space is becoming limited. I'm really tempted to have the antlers pegged. My idea is not for only the ease of getting it to certain parts of the house, but also future bulls that I...

Back in August I shared story/pics of my archery elk hunt. Finally got around to putting a video together. Thought I would share as a number of MM members played parts in various ways of making the moment happen.

My brother and I were both able to draw CO second season mule deer tags this year. With little kids at home we missed the opener so we could go trick or treating with them, but we were off the next morning for our 7ish hour drive. We planned on staying through the whole season and my cousin was...

This year I got lucky and pulled a random tag with 2 points. Knowing that it wouldn't take long for season to start I began right away in my preparations. I set a few trail cameras and was up any every weekend glassing for bulls.

Last year was my first time hunting CO. Had a great time and will be heading back this year. I'm trying to figure out which roads are county roads in Eagle county, specifically north of 70. I've visited their county website, but thus far I'm not finding what I'm looking for. Feel free to PM...

I have multiple euro mounts of bucks I've taken, just sitting on the floor. I do have skull hooker mounts, but I don't feel like I a have a wall to hang them all. Would like to see some different ideas that people have done.

Just returned from my CO 3rd season hunt. What a fun experience. After first electing to pass on this buck he continued to stand there tempting me. In the end the logic of my circumstances won out and I pulled the trigger. One of these days I'll learn how to hold out for bigger.

With opening day drawing near, I haven't narrowed between 4 spots which will be my first line of attack. I understand that individual years may bring different factors to the table. Heck, certain units may even determine what tactics are used. But if you were to give a blanketing statement on...

Drew a third season tag. Wife and I came for the weekend to get a look at the area. Would love to talk to someone who is familiar with unit 35. I can see that private property will play a big factor with the hunt, but I already kind of knew that. I'm curious though, as I've looked at OnX decent...

Going to be hunting CO for the first time this year. I began reading the big game regs the other day. Looks like unit 35 won't require any disease testing, but am I reading this right that 36, 45, and 361 is part of the hunting area? I have a 3rd season buck tag. Whether those areas are worth...

This was suppose to be the year I was going to hold out for something special. This was going to be the year I helped my brother get his best buck. In the end I guess I accomplished both. I spent somewhere around 16 hunting days (aside from scouting) throughout archery, muzzle loader, and...

Last year I found a year old shed while hunting deer. Later I noticed some similarities besides just the frame to the buck I harvested (curve in the tips of the points). Which got me thinking same buck or just same genetics? The buck I shot was heavier with better eye guards, but a little bit...

This year I decided to enter the dedicated hunter program for the first time. I put a lot of focus on trying to find a good buck this year and was really looking forward to hunting with a rifle again. One of my hunting goals is to harvest an animal that I have either gotten pictures, video, or...

If you're hunting deer on a general season tag and see a buck pushing 30" are you shooting regardless of what else it has to offer? What about if it's your first year of the dedicated hunter program, does that change your decision? Asking for a friend. Feel free to share your 30" buck for...

Who owns one? Thoughts? I came really close to buying a used one today. I like the idea of the versatility. However, this was a 6x12 and the likelihood of being able to get the tent on and off the tailor gave me doubts. Kind of second guessing now.

I've shared pics of this buck already, but I've been back and forth with having it mounted. He's a general season muzzy buck from UT and my biggest to date. When I harvested the buck my intentions were to mount. I dropped the cape off at the taxi and then did a European mount until the time...

Ok, not exactly what you may think but I did see 10 coyotes while hunting during the general season muzzleloader hunt in UT. I was able to harvest what I would consider a great buck for the unit on day 3. I had the goal in mind of not shooting anything that wasn't bigger than my last two bucks...

I don't have many LE deer points and will likely jump back in the elk waiting pool when my waiting period is up. Looking at maybe trying a CWMU tag. The specific one I'm thinking about is the grazing pasture. I've hunted FL a bit, so I feel like I have a general idea of the terrain. Anyone...

Back in August I received a phone call from a lady who was looking for my wife. Turns out it was Utah's DWR letting my wife know that someone had turned in their late season tag and she was next in line. We knew the unit well and it could have very well been another 10 years to draw the tag, so...

A storm is rolling in and I'm hoping a decent amount of snow is dumped. Who's going to be hitting the hills this upcoming weekend? My wife was fortunate enough to have received a tag 2 months ago as an alternate. Have watched eagerly as a few nice bulls have hit the dirt. Time to make final...

Had the story all typed out and lost it, so here's the condensed version. And I can't figure out pics from my phone. This year I decided to switch thing up and put in for a muzzleloader tag instead of the normal rifle. Being my first year with the muzzleloader I wanted to harvest a buck, but...

I know these posts tend to get annoying, but I do have a few questions with the unit. My wife drew the rifle deer tag. We normally hunt the fishlake, and that's where my tag is so I have spent most of my scouting time there. More or less I am curious about how much pressure this unit will...

This year I decided to forgo my beloved rifle and try a new challenge. I put in for UT general season muzzleloader and fully expect to draw the tag. The season dates are Sept 23-Oct 1. This being about a full month earlier than what I have been use to hunting I am inquiring about some tips...

This may have been answered in other topics, but reading a post it got me wondering. I believe I understand the point system and how it works in giving x amount of chances to receive a low number, but my question is how to use it looking at odds. For example, my wife has 5 elk points plus this...

It's been just over a year wait, but my bull is finally done! I really like how it turned out. I've been trying to remember the scene with him coming out in the trees and this certainly helps.

A gentlemen by the name of Brandon Carter? He's a younger guy, not sure if he is from UT or not but he had an archery elk tag for Fish Lake last year. I know this is kind of random, but I had visited with him last year on the mountain. Recently he posted a comment on my hunt recap video on...

I received a job offer yesterday that is located in Lake Havasu yesterday. Of course my wife and I are trying to determining whether to take it or not. We both like the mountains and one hesitancy for us is thinking about the blasted heat. Anyone from around there? What's the city like? Are...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-28-14 AT 05:32PM (MST)[p]Looks like some have gotten their results from this past year. As someone else mentioned I thought it would be fun to have a thread with a picture of your bull and what it aged at. Whether this year or years past, lets see them. I'll start Your...

Does anyone know when the UDWR usually releases the tooth data? Seems like they gave a date sometime this spring with the packet they sent, but I can't find my paper. I sent mine in early October. I've been curious what the age of my bull was. Also, how do they forward that info? Mail...
