Hi there, My dad drew the same tag about three years ago. He was 74 years old at the time and he did great. I can tell you everything about his hunt if you like, just let me know. You could probably find the story in the old archives here if they keep that long. It will be a great time...

I got on there and like it was stated earlier each page grinded out, but I made my selection and got to the very end of checkout only to find that the quota was filled. What a way to string me along. It was kind of exciting though. good luck to all.

I got a point for me and two of my sons, the other son applied for unit 21 and 30 muzzleloader, and my dad applied for unit 70 third season. It is always fun to talk about it before the deadline. We also applied for elk and antelope points. The main tag I want is a sheep tag, I applied for unit...

thanks guys, that's what I was thinking but wanted to make sure, I guess I will just wait until next year with more points

I should know the answer to this but I am going to ask anyway. Maybe I am need of some abuse I don't know. I want to wait another year to draw a deer tag in Wyoming when my son will be home. We have planned on going together for some time. On the other hand, I am tired of waiting and want to...

looks great Ross, nice job!

I too, would like the free app. Thanks Brian

Congratulations on the ram. It was a lot of fun down there this year. It was good to talk to you too, I'm jealous of that arrowhead. Good luck on the desert tag!

sorry I can't figure out how to post the pictures, if someone would help me I would grateful.

Great pictures and great animal. Wyoming is always a great place to be. Congratulations on a fine hunt!

My son and I have tags in unit 92 also. We have been up there looking around and there are a lot of antelope. There are also elk, and wild horses, so there is always something to be looking at. We are trying to kill the best ones we can find but I would be happy to stay in touch before and...

Hey thanks for the nice comments, we are looking forward to it. I hope it lasts as long as possible, maybe not quite as long as my first desert bighorn hunt, which went down to the wire and I was saved by Trammer. I hope my dad can hold out for a good, old ram. It's kind of like doing one of...

Not me, looks like it'll be 2015 or beyond, thats okay though.

LBH, Congrats on the tag and the long wait, that is really something. I know when I drew my desert tag I figured I had 33 years left until I would eventually max out. I admit, I have been very lucky with that and the Stone's but this last sheep tag will be the long one I fear. But thats...

I am excited to announce that after many years of applying, my dad has finally drawn a sheep tag. He didn't want to interfere with my quest for a Rocky so he has been putting in for the Rattlesnake unit and he drew!! When he called and told me he said if he could give it to me he would as it...

Thanks for all the nice comments but I have to add that Ben Nielsen does a lot of the great work at our shop. I don't want to leave him out. thanks again!

I am going to the big Island, it would be cool to kill a big Hog or Boar, thanks for all the replies. Those goats are kind of stinky. I don't like to work on them, its hard to get it out of their hair and horns to be able to put them inside after they are mounted.

Just wondering if anyone has ever hunted while on the big island of Hawaii? Going there soon, if anyone has any insight I would appreciate it.

Back to the Pigman, I met a guy out on the Oquirrhs who was looking for a bull for the Pigman this fall. Just wondering if he got one? I didn't see any haystacks on the mountain out there, lol.

Are there many elk on the Stansbury's? I know there are on the Oquirrh's. Just curious, was out there deer hunting and the country was good looking but we only saw deer, which is fine. Thanks for any input.

This post reminds of the analogy of the bucket crabs or lobsters. Feeling a little under the weather so I thought I would take a shot at being a crustacean. I believe it is true that 4 deer = 1 elk, that being said if there were only 5,000 elk a few years ago it is easy to see where the deer...

What is the back door way to find out? Sorry to be asking. They (CDOW) called me about my Habitat stamp and said I needed to fix it by the 20th, this kind of tells me the draw could have been that day. Just a thought. Thanks

LAST EDITED ON Apr-18-12 AT 03:38PM (MST)[p]Here is a bison pedestal we did, they are both wild bulls, one from Montana the other from Wyoming. sorry about the background, I just took the phone picture minutes before it was picked up...

The sheep Gods were smiling on me when my name was pulled out of a raffle for this Stones sheep hunt. It was an awesome experience, and I still think about it all the time. Zeke was up in the area the same time when he killed his stone ram and moose. I shot a moose also. The funny thing...

Not to sound repetitious but this is the best thread ever!! Thanks to Zeke, you da man! Here is how I got started with a desert from south San Juan. Got him on the last day. I was resigned to the fact that I had blown it but Brad Turner stepped in gave me a hand and we got it done on this ram...

Wow, thanks for all the pictures and stories, can't wait to go on another sheep hunt. They are the "oatmeal" for me, they really stay with me. This is my Dalls sheep from Alaska 2010. Many thanks to Sue my guide and Lingo, our helper. It was a blast. KLM A major storm was coming in and...

Freezing them is very bad as it sucks all the moisture out of the horns. They have quite a bit of water in the horns so as they dry they naturally shrink. Some taxidermists can cheat up the length by placing then higher on the sheath but they need to rebuild the bottom a little to compensate...

Love to hunt with Jack O'Conner

The Utah watershed restoration initiative is the only major player in the west that have put millions of dollars on the ground as projects, this is being funded by the "tag" money generated by SFW and others. It is the envy of all the surrounding states when it comes to habitat projects and...

I know Blanding Boy and Zeke, they are both very credible men. The question I have to ask myself is, Am I better off now than in 1994 when we first went up on the steps of the Utah State capitol building? The answer is YES! Muley 73 is right, there is much more game than ever, we are now...

In my opinion the CWMU's allocation of Moose tags in more in favor of the public hunter which has resulted in the loss of quality bulls. They have just been giving out too many tags and the size is down. Secondly, from my recollection I do not remember being able to hunt any private ground in...

SW, maybe you should push for the use of crossbows, that way you too could shoot out of the window of a truck. Just trying to help.

Speaking of sheep madness, I am trying to figure out how to get out to Reno for the "One more for Four" drawing. Would like to leave the day before (Friday), stay for the show and banquet on Saturday and then come back on Sunday. Is anybody going to the show? I have never been to it outside of...

The wildlife in Utah especially mule deer is politically driven instead of biologically, until that changes we will be in this endless loop of chaos. All these kneejerk reactions have just caused more frustration and loss of resources over the past 15 plus years.

I thought the number was around 280,000 to 300,000. I don't believe there are that many but if there are and say the buck/doe ratio is 15/100. That leaves only 42,000 bucks in the state, if my math is correct. With over 90,000 hunters after less then half that many bucks spells disaster to...

Interesting post, just curious to know what you guys think the actual or estimated mule deer population is right now in Utah, or what is the number we are being told?

Anyone have any experience with Berger bullets in a 240 weatherby? I am looking for some loads for the 105 grain match grade VLD hunting bullets. Any info would be appreciated.

Yes thanks for the post, My father in law was there on the USS Shaw which was in one of the pictures. I remember going to Pearl harbor with him on 7th of December and talking with the members of the association. He wanted to make to the 70th anniversary but he didn't quite make it. He passed...
