Pm'd ya.

I drew the Any Goat tag 5 years ago and harvested a great Billy. Inspiration point and you can go east or west to find them. Pretty much everywhere you go you will find them. Pm me and I can give you some more detail. I grew up at the base of Ben Lomand and know it well. Do your homework on...

Thanks guys. He is still pretty excited. He has a Bull Elk tag and a cow tag that he is excited to go out in the field for. We are getting it European mounted. My dad did the same with me and that is why I love it so much.

I haven't posted on here for a long time. I actually had to re-register. : ) I have been waiting for 12 years to take my Son on his first hunt. He has spent many days with me on some fun hunts but this one topped all of them. To see him get so excited and make a great shot (90 yards) was more...

>Thanks for the offer but I >actually have the nanny tag >for Willard peak. Nice...still a great hunt. I also know where a really large Nanny was hanging out last year. They are not hard to find up there which I'm sure you know. Enjoy!!!! Steep and Beautiful up there.

Enjoy that hunt....I had the tag last year. I grew up at the base of Ben Lomand in Pleasant View. You can easily stay in Brigham City and just ride up every day. Just depends on where you want to hunt. I have some info on a really big goat that didn't go down last year....he is in some...

Should be up now.

PM me..I can give you a little help. I have spent the last 3 seasons on the unit...basically guiding family and friends with tags. Know a few spots to get into some bulls. It isn't hard to find elk though on the unit....like others have mentioned they are everywhere. I will be up there...

Elaborate.... Were there quite a few people up top and driving up the road from Mantua? I'm going to be hitting it hard next week!!!! I grew up at the base of the mountain so I know it extremely well. Can't wait!!! PM me and we can talk.....

I'm with ya on waiting.....I drew the tag as well this year....was extremely dissappointed to hear that 39 tags were given out. Going to be a nightmare up there.....hopefully it will calm down after the first week. I'm not after a record book Billy just want to have an enjoyable hunt and...

The Francis Ranch Buck is a nice buck. Saw the pics and it is a dandy....I'll let the Hunter post any pics. GREAT BUCK though!!!!

LAST EDITED ON Oct-02-09 AT 12:45PM (MST)[p]Nope....can't blame ya....the problem is just that...everyone is SELFISH!!!!! It is an all about me culture these days and it is unfortunate. I have been waiting just like you and still currently waiting...but I am more concerned about my children...

Rutnelk, I agree that I did make it sound as if the rifle hunt wasn't work. Unfair to generalize on my part. Although you can't deny the succes rates. That was where my comment originated from. When you have almost 100% success rate then that is a little unfair to the animal. Believe...

This is a quick little survey. I want to take a little census on whether people are in favor of Rifle hunting during the rut or not for Elk. Thanks, Inmysights Just post a quick Yes or No.

That is the biggest problem....I am worried about my kids!!!! They will most likely not draw a tag EVER in the state of Utah the way it currently sits. That is just wrong to grow up in a state with such great hunting opportunity and not be able to have a chance to take advantage of it. Now I...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-30-09 AT 05:25PM (MST)[p]I took the elk survey and I'm sorry but the DWR is flat out catering to the Rifle hunters. I can't blame them for doing this on their end because it is where they make their money. I can blame them and be upset about it on my end because it isn't...

PM sent.

Ok...so I have to put my 2 cents in on this one. I will agree that some in the guided hunting community have gone WAY overboard on how they go after bulls for clients. It is somewhat rediculous that there are 40 people in the hills putting bulls to bed and waking them up. They do a better job...

RE: We had an awesome evening LAST EDITED ON Sep-03-08 AT 02:23AM (MST)[p]Dan, I have to say this is almost as exciting as being there. I love hunting...it is like christmas, new years, and my birthday wrapped into one. This is the first year that I haven't been able to hunt....It has been...

Awholelottabull, I don't post often...and you and I have seen eye to eye before on other posts if I recall. I do have to say....when it comes to the CWMU program here in Utah....it doesn't exactly smell like roses. I am a private land owner and have plenty of exposure to the program. I do...

KTC, I hope you see this aside from the unfortunate comments below...but I would agree with you completely. I still enjoy the general hunts and have already taken my oldest boy with me in the field. He isn't old enough to hunt by a long shot, but it instantly showed my why my dad packed my...

KTC, Sorry for being all serious to your post because I know that some of it was in jest. I will take pride in the one time I post in like 2 years and it is one of the longest threads in a while.... : ) Inmysights

KTC, I would disagree to an extent on your post. I don't want my kids to have the NEED to take a 350 class bull or a 200 inch muley by any means. I want them to have more than just a chance of drawing a tag at all. If you don't see that the numbers of hunters not only nationally or locally...

Pro, et al, I haven't posted in a long long time. I do however visit often and read often. Started in on this one just for a kick and now it has struck a cord that I know is always on the mind of most hunters here in Utah. I grew up hunting with my dad and my family. I grew to love it...

I have to say that in my case the success rate did go up but I absolutely miss the November hunt. It was cold and you didn't see as many animals but when you did see them they were large mature bucks. I believe the change was for the money not the rut. There were far less hunters going out in...

I will tell you also...I don't post much but I do keep up on the forums. I purchased my bow tag a little late this year....long story but I was very busy. This was about 5 days before the hunt....I called down to the Salt lake office to see if I would be able to go to one of the offices and...

I have personally had this happen to me...but it was a little more obvious. I was hunting with my dad and a few of my uncles buddies on the north slope of the Uintahs here in utah. Opening morning of the rifle hunt we came up to a meadow and there were about 15 elk in the meadow. There were...

WFM, I have seen that 4 point a couple of times as well.... he's a nice one. great pics....

Well, I went out and braved the opener....I wasn't hunting but I was helping my brother in law and a friend...sort of guiding for them. What a morning!!! Snow, lots of deer and great fun. Both of them have never harvested a buck before. The first buck was taken by my brother in law. A nice 4...

HP 7960 Photosmart....best printer out there for quality and performance.....can't tell the difference between a real picture and the digital....also has an LCD screen on the front and you don't even have to plug it into a computer to print pictures....it has the digital media card slots for...

What kind of Cap are you using....if you aren't using a 209 try switching to that.... I know there are conversion kits for that model. That is what my buddy shoots and he hasn't had any problems since switching. Inmysights

Big pig.....layoff the guy....he didn't have to include those details of his hunt. You must also understand it is a once in a lifetime to be able to draw a tag like that. It is sad that he may have lost an animal but if you really think about it how many of those animals are taken during the...

Hey Ladd, I use the 295 copper hollow point on deer and it works great. I think that it really depends on what type of gun you are shooting. My buddy shoots a remington and he can't get a good grouping at all unless he shoots the lead powerbelts. Also, there has been a little trouble out...

Airwis, I shoot the exact same gun... you'll love it. I shoot a 295 grain aerotip powerbelt and 130 grains of powder. I use the pyrodex pellets though. I have an inch and a half grouping at 100 yards. I am going to be hunting elk this year in Utah with it. I am going to use the 350 grain...

Sorry forgot to add that in Utah the scope cannot be magnified.....I don't know about the colorado regs. Even still it is the way to go in my opinion. Inmysights.

I have a millet red dot scope on my gun and I love it. I have been successful with it every season. The longest shot that I have taken is about 120 yards. The great part about these scopes is that you can change the brightness of the dot for low light conditions or vise versa. Tasco also has...

Rockhopper, If you are against it then you may not want to go with a red dot scope.... I have had one on my gun for quite a while and I love it. In Utah you can't have a magnified scope so it isn't much different than open fiber-optic sights. You still have to use your bino's to see what you...

Knack, Refer back to this post....there is some good info...I shoot a Hunterbolt CVA and I love...you can't beat the gun you get for the money!!!! http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/DCForumID14/510.html
