You’re correct about other states. But the one major impact Utah has with its elk is their hands are tied on elk numbers due to agreements and legal agreements with cattlemen associations. Where are you getting your info about these units being under? The actual data still shows Utah in...

Eliminating the spike hunt will not increase bull elk numbers on the units. It may have a positive impact temporarily but longer term, they’ll kill more cows as was pointed out. Utah has a carrying capacity problem. You can’t just explode the number of bulls without consequence. As far as...

I also forgot to mention fences. That’ll take some fawns out as well. And then golden eagles. I am not sure on the Eagle part

Let’s hear everyone’s ideas about how to bring does back and how to keep more fawns alive. This thread is brought to you by slam dunk. He asked for the thread, and I’ll deliver. I’ll throw out a few of my thoughts, and slam can either confirm, or deny them since he works with Mdf. Fawns are...

Well actually slam, Troy justensen told me on the phone last year that banning baiting and trail cams was going to be a major game changer for the herds. He told me that every year we are killing the cream of the crop and that’s because of trail cams. So you see, the organizations that have...

935 doe tags, compounded by the fact that depending on the season, they’re pregnant, compounded by the fact that they may or may not have a fawn with them, turns into a lot of deer being killed. Bucks don’t have fawns there little buddy. And slam may correct me on this buuuuut does are getting...

Hunted for 60 years huh? That’s great. I am happy that you’ve had the passion longer than most people do. With how long you’ve hunted, that puts you hunting mule deer in the glory days of the species. I sincerely doubt you hunted that hard to kill the buck you wanted. Even with a 30-30. Unless...

Dog valley, find a better insult than that. Do you know how I hunt? Do you know what I kill? Do you know what my season was? Chances are, no you don’t. And you also don’t know whether or not any of my kills for this year were even on a trail camera. Or if any were over bait either.

I saw a 4 point with does by my house tonight. I venture to guess he’s alive because of no baiting and no cams. I am positive that the deer are going to continue their exploding numbers now. It started just last year with the baiting ban. They’ve already bounced back. Yes this post is...

Hossblur, it’s my general understanding his father is up north in a hospital fighting a losing battle with cancer. I assume this would explain why the parents had no clue.

I haven’t heard of them. They have a tv show or something?

Not sure if comments are the right thing here but, This hunt is superb and Mike is a hell of a guy. Jeff Dumas

Archery bull September 10th.

And never mind the fact that the dedicated hunters can only kill 2 deer in 3 years.

I’d argue good hunters are the ones who help the herd the most. Poor hunters would be the ones most likely to launch arrows or bullets out of desperation or are less likely to be able to perform during the moment of truth and wound something. I think the wound rate is significantly higher than...

3rd turkeys for each boy. My littlest guy hangs out with us.

First elk, 13 years old

Why’s he get banned?

It’s true. Spot and stalk. State wide. Any weapon. Until the end of the year. Yes. I have one too.

Where is old Bart Hanson, hoytme, these days?

The book cliffs is NOT managed as a trophy hunt. It’s an opportunity hunt. That’s the entire premise of the hunt. OPPORTUNITY

Unlike you, the government doesn’t have to tell me where or when to donate my money. You want it taken forcibly via taxes. Instead of letting the individuals decide who or what they’ll donate to. The problem with folks like you, is the fact that you want an answer for everything. 16-18 million...

The argument of taking freedoms away ends for me when you’re talking about terminating another life. You do not have the freedom to do that because of convenience. I truly do not care what the courts say on the matter. I do believe in absolute freedoms, I just don’t believe that you have the...

Freedom doesn’t have anything to do with murdering the defenseless. And because you won’t defend the defenseless, that makes you a spineless ***** ass chicken ****

If you truly believe the world is better off because of 64 million people Being aborted, then Why aren’t you leading by example and offing yourself? I saw where you stated your nephews will get your money. I assume that means you have no kids. Just that alone shows me there actually is a God...

We had hunted hard for the first 10 days of the general season. Unfortunately, a lot of people Do not understand how to hunt elk. We have a lot of great spots that over the last 4-5 years have become over ran with a lot of people and they just blow the elk out. Over. And over. And over. Until...

My son Jeffreys first deer

Biologically speaking, the rut is the same time every year. It isn’t later and it isn’t earlier depending on weather. It may change patterns but it doesn’t change actual behavior and rutting. I actually happen to like Utah’s early dates. I do wish it did go later into September. But....elk do...

Wake up to the fact that most people with Jimmy Johns platform and money use it AGAINST hunting. Not FOR hunting. Most of the haters fight harder against other hunters than they do the anti hunters. Wake up to that fact.

What unit do you have ruger?

Ill Add to the list too.
