Hi folks, heading up next week to see if I can help four youth hunters (two first timers) fill some cow elk tags and I was curious how the conditions were in the unit this year with the incredible monsoon rains. I've been helping out on this youth hunt for 10+ years so I have plenty of spots...

The only way we stay ahead of this is to overwhelm them with support for continued legal hunting of these species. I emailed all of my hunting buddies to send in their support as well. Our deer, elk and sheep are under enough pressure from drought, human encroachment, etc that they don't need...

I wonder when actual results will be posted. Friday perhaps? Either I drew one of the two bull bison tags in the new House Rock herd or my 12 year-old son drew one of the two Raymond Ranch bull tags. Either way, good chance the freezer is going to be very full this winter, and we already...

Hi guys, I'll be heading up to 4a in a few days for my 12 yr old son's first elk hunt so I was hoping to hear from any of the archery hunters to see how things went this year and if the elk seemed to be in similar areas as in past years. I've been helping youth tag holders in that unit for the...

Good Lord, yes! If you get the tag please send me a PM and I'll happily point you in the right directions. I just spent a week down there on the late Nov youth hunt and I feel the Dec 33 tag is the best Coues tag in the state (unit and season), though G&F does give out way too many tags if you...

First off, thanks to everyone who offered advice and suggestions. It was invaluable. Like I said, Utah hunters are the best. We had a fun, but short hunt. My buddy had first dibs and killed a cool buck right before sunset on opening day that ended up being 16 1/8" on his left side. He was...

Thanks for the replies, gentlemen. I appreciate it greatly. Hands down there are no better, more helpful people out there than Utah hunters. I'll let you know how we do (unless we get too trigger happy and shoot something small, wink wink). BTW, I would like to know how that doe took a...

Hey gents, after 10 years of trying, my buddy and I pulled two of the three non-res Mt Dutton/Paunsaugunt goat tags. We were planning on coming up Thursday before the opener to scout, but my buddy wants to stick around home to watch his son's football game Friday night (totally understandable)...

Well I'll be. My buddy and I drew the two NR rifle antelope tags for Mt Dutton/Pauns. Don't know a ton about the unit, but its a goat tag, so how hard can it be, right? :) First buck/bull tag in Utah after a dozen plus years, though I've pulled a few doe/cow tags from time to time. Can't...

My sheep tag showed up on Wednesday. :)

Hi folks, just looking to see if anyone has a recommendation for a good gunsmith in the valley. I live in Chandler, but I'm not adverse to driving somewhere for an experienced person who stands behind their work. I'm looking to get my mid-70's Ruger M77 glass bedded (or at least floated) and...

OK, that was a joke. Any sheep tag in hand is a good sheep tag, and it looks like lighting struck for me after 18 years. I'll be honest, I don't have a lot of experience in the unit (I bird hunt in the unit quite a bit, but primarily on the east side), however, I'm a short 90 min to 2 hr...

I started this thread a year ago, so I may as well share the outcome of the hunt. I ended up killing this big old cow on opening day. Glassed her and a boyfriend up from across two canyons and made a death march on them. Whacked her on the run with the .270 WSM after the wind switched on me...

Monster Muleys is a small world. I have the same tag as well, so that makes 3 of the 7 tags accounted for on this one thread. The odds of that happening are probably worse than the actual draw odds for the tags. I'll be up there scouting for two days before the season starts next Saturday...

Ha, ain't that the God's honest truth! Unfortunately, she is the one who opened the credit card bill first. Oops. Thanks to everyone for your insight. I've replied to a couple of your PMs. I'm starting to get pretty pumped up for the hunt. I just need to get within 30 yards of a cow...

Paradise, the boundary is basically 84 on the south, 15 on the west, 165 on the east and 101 on the north. Willard Peak is in this unit, so any insight you have would be greatly appreciated. Travis, I'll give you a buzz. Thanks for the offer!

Well, here is something I didn't think I'd ever see...the word "successful" on a results email! :) I struck out everywhere this year and decided, after speaking with the local biologist, to throw my hat in for the lone Ogden West non-resident cow moose tag and I'll be darned if I didn't draw...

Hi guys, due to work and family committments I'm only going to be heading out on the last weekend of the season to try and notch a couple freezer filler tags. I have the Plateau doe goat tag and Panguitch Cottonwood doe muley tag. I've spoken with the biologists for the units and I've spent...

Hey guys, I had the good fortune to help out on a youth cow hunt this weekend and did we ever have a great time. This was the young man's first big game hunt and he got it done the second morning. The reason for the post is I had to share a video clip that I'm sure you'll appreciate. Cheers...
