What's one of your favorite bucks? I've got my share of good bucks and love them all, but this is a favorite (2019) for two obvious reasons, son #1 and son #2 with me for the first time. Their reaction was priceless and I'll never forget it.

Imagine my excitement after receiving a phone call that I was first in line for a surrendered bull elk tag! I can't wait to get out there regardless of the long odds, weather...or you name it. A day/week of hunting with family and friends is pretty much as good of a day/week as it gets. So...

We decided not to take the trailer for my Nov 12-16 deer hunt in unit 16. I would appreciate any tips on a good place to stay outside of the few options I can find on google. I know there's gotta be a bunch of people that rent to hunters for a week or so. I'll be down there again in October...

I'm trying to decide if I want to go DIY on my Nov. 12-16 Rifle deer hunt in area 16 or go the outfitter route. I would really appreciate any advice on lodging or camping, the area, and any reputable guides/outfitters. Thanks, and good luck to everyone this season! I will be doing some...

After a dozen years of marriage I've suddenly found myself with a whole lot of free time and nobody to tell me "no". So I'm gonna do whatever the h*ll I want for once and that's hunt! Just wondering if anybody has had any success hunting this unit for Bull Elk. I've been thinking about buying...

It was fun to watch this Utah buck "grow up" over a three year period before I finally decided I couldn't pass him up any longer last fall on the muzzleloader hunt. Here's a trail cam pic of when we first got him on film. We have such a history with him, and he's such a unique buck that...

This guy showed up on the trail camera this September one minute behind a doe. I don't know much about bears but it looks like a big one to me. What would you say the size, age, gender is? Seems pretty shaggy to me too. Is that normal? Does that have anything to do with age or is it just the...

I'm liking seeing all these pictures and guessing on the score. I'm learning a lot about how to field judge with all your help on the scoring part. So here's another...What about this big bodied bull? What do you think he scores?

How about this guy? What do you think he scores? Thanks for the help with field judging.

I'm trying to figure out what a 300 inch bull looks like as a basis for field judging larger bulls. Does this bull hit the 300 inch mark? What's your guess on the score? Let's see some pics of 300 inch bulls if you got 'em.

LAST EDITED ON May-01-12 AT 03:44PM (MST)[p]Got him back from the taxidermist! I decided to go with the wall pedestal mount. What do you think? I'm pretty happy with the work. This typical muzzy buck goes 30.5 inches outside spread without any cheaters. Getting him back caps off an awesome...

Not a bad day. A couple "as they lay" pics (pretty cool base on the 3 point), and the rest in the back of the truck.

Who has gotten themselves into a tight spot while in the outdoors? Tells us about it. What did you learn from it that could benefit the rest of us? I'll start? This September I was in the Greys River area of Wyoming on a mule deer hunt. I was surprised by the traces of snow on the ground as...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-12-11 AT 09:20PM (MST)[p]I always laugh a little when we tie a buck up on the wheel well or prop it up so it can be seen for the drive home but I know you all do it too! We count how many people flip us off or give us thumbs up. Let's see some pictures of antlers sticking...

Just getting back from of weekend of camping somewhat near my hunting stomping ground. There's ususally a snow bank or two but this year it's burried in 3 or 4 feet everywhere. I'm curious how this will affect the number of elk and deer this fall. Do you think they'll make their traditional...

I keep hoping I'll beat the odds but it's not happening. Unsuccessful with 8 points for Manti Muzzy. I wanna know if this system really works. Who drew? Tell us how many points, which area and what weapon. All the best this fall to those lucky enough to have a tag in the pocket! I can't...

Just an idea...I was thinking about the Burbot Bash tournament at the Gorge where they catch tag and release several fish that if caught can be checked for a prize up to $5,000. Why couldn't someone (DWR) organize the same type tournament for Coyotes across the state. What do you think...

Just curious if anyone can post a map or a link to the map of what these 29 units will be. I can't seem to find one anywhere. Thanks!

Anybody been hunting coyotes in south Davis County, Utah? Just curious what the hunting is like near my home and maybe even let me tag along with you. I want to do what I can for the deer in my area, but need some tips on how to get started, best calls and some good old "how-to" advice...

Anybody come across a dead bull elk near the Electric Lake, Utah area after the archery hunt? 7 years of bonus points when up in smoke after a good hit and two days of tracking and gridding the canyon once the trail went dry. We're sure he's dead, the shot was most likely a little too high but...

I've seen a few names carved into aspen trunks from the early 1900s but never 1899 or before. Has anyone seen anything from the 1800s? Got any pictures? It's pretty cool to think how ancient and untouched some of these forests are and that these guys were wandering around over 100 years ago...

Anybody here that's 25-45 years old ever feel like we got shafted when it comes to hunting in Utah? We're too young to have experienced the "good old days" when there used to be a lot of deer and it was common for small town people to shoot more than they had tags for every year. (Thanks old...

I'm planning to start bow hunting this fall in Utah. I'm looking for a good left-handed bow. Anybody know of a good used one for sale? Any recommendations for the "beginner"?

I have a lot of neighbors that complain that the deer eat the plants in their yards. I actually would love having the deer eat in my yard to somewhat replace what used to be their winter range here in the foothills. Any ideas on what I could plant in my yard that mule deer like and is good for...

My home town in Utah has come out and declared an "Urban Deer problem". They sent a survey with the utility bill asking for input on their options to deal with the deer within city limits. Options are as follows: 1: An urban Archery hunt. Allowing certain "qualified" archers to wander through...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-18-09 AT 03:49PM (MST)[p]So I connected on the "tri-pod" buck this year during the Muzzleloader hunt in Utah. Not a monster, or even close to B&C, but admittedly it's my best to date and a great trophy and experience in my eyes. Just wondering how many of you out there...
