    Hole in the horn

    Thanks! I think it is an illusion. It went clean through. It looks in the photo that it is lodged in there, but its just something in the background.

    Hole in the horn

    I shot this bull on the Fishlake a couple years ago. 28 Nosler at 150 Yards. I put 3 in the boiler room and he was still standing. As I pulled the trigger on shot 4, he dropped this head and this happened. Clean through. Still cant believe it didn't break. It was a bad first impression with the...

    When are most big bucks killed?

    I think there are other factors, mainly pressure, terrain and weather (maybe even moon phase). My 2 biggest bucks were killed at midday and 30 minutes before dark.

    52 yr old with 26 points, UT

    I know a lot can happen once you get into your 50's. but If I had waited that long and I knew I had strong possibility for a Multi Season tag on those units within the next 3-5 years I would hold out. Obviously the later you get into your 50's you will be a bit more limited, but I have had 2 LE...

    POLL: What percentage of your income do you spend on hunting?

    60k and a 40k truck for an 18 year old (now 19) isnt much? Seriously? No school, no trade experience, no real life experience? And 2008 (ish) is an anomaly.

    POLL: What percentage of your income do you spend on hunting?

    I have 4 employees for my side business. all 19 years old. Crew lead makes 60k + an Eco boost... the other 3 makes about 45k... Sometimes I wonder if they know what they have... Probably not

    Fishlake Elk hunt

    Im still unsure what I am taking to be honest, but leaning 300 WSM... But maybe this is a good reason to add another to the fold and start shooting... 9 months and counting.

    Fishlake Elk hunt

    Agreed. I was just shocked at the lack of damage a 28 Nosler did at 170 yards with 4 "well placed" shots. All shots were what anyone would consider ideal. Maybe I will make it a deer only gun :)

    Fishlake Elk hunt

    I shoot the same gun and the same Bullet. I had the Premium tag this year on the fishlake. I killed my bull at 170 yards, 4 well placed shots. I couldnt believe it. Im questioning my setup and think I will be taking my 300WSM to Alaska this coming year for moose. Im gun shy with the 28 Nosler at...

    Help with Book Cliffs South Antelope

    Understood. But knowing this might be far and few between hunting them I would like to have a shot at a decent scoring buck. But I also Agree, if I see one I like it will get the Lead. I wish I had put more effort into this hunt but my elk hunt took priority.

    Help with Book Cliffs South Antelope

    First time Antelope hunter here. I ran face first into a Tag this year that was unexpected. I have hunted just about everything but Speed Goats. I went out for a day and saw about 50 different bucks but had no idea how to score them. I was just looking for a buck I liked the look of, but they...

    Good deer?

    I killed a deer in 17 that looked A LOT like him, only 15 1/8" inside spread credit. Scored 186 and change. That deer is a tank

    Book Cliffs Roadless Early Rifle Elk Tag

    What dates were you in there? If you look at harvest statistics for the Spring spot and stalk, the numbers are abysmal. Like in the teens the last 4 or 5 years. I hiked 135 miles between 9 days and saw VERY little sign. Honestly I am not sure I would dump points on it again, other than I am...

    Book Cliffs Roadless Early Rifle Elk Tag

    Do you have Horses, People to spot, and a lot of time? If so it is Awesome!!! I didnt fill my tag but had my chances. Saw 12 bears. We were on foot. But had a blast. Save all your time for the last 3 weeks. No need to go in before early may. Keep me posted next year and I can give you some spots...

    Book Cliffs Roadless Early Rifle Elk Tag

    Just spent 6 weeks in there for Bear. Im jealous is all I have to say. I saw so many Elk i wish i had the tag. I am sure things change as the year goes on but really thought the herd looked good where I was at. Lot of bulls that were growing and looking good. Hope you have horses, cause I did...

    POLL: What binoculars are you using?

    It seems a lot of you are using 10 x 42 on the neck and 15 x 56 on the tripod, but it seemed most are using something other than Swaro on the neck and most using Swaro on the tri pod. Any reason? Cost only? If money wasn't necessarily the main concern, what would you guys run, both on the...

    Book Cliffs Roadless Bear (Spring)

    Well I may still write up a more detailed post in the hunt adventure page with pics, but for now this will have to suffice. I knew what I was getting myself into going into this hunt. We hunted it last year and would hike in and out each day (back to Sego Trailhead) and it beat the crap out of...

    Book Cliffs Roadless Bear (Spring)

    Ill do a more detailed write up. No harvest success but it was for sure an adventure. Not sure Id do it again on foot, but... give me a week and I might change my mind. :)

    Book Cliffs Roadless Bear (Spring)

    Well I put another 51 miles on the boots and got into some country I hadnt been too. We saw 5 mature bears. (5 additional cubs). 2 boars, 3 sows. Had a shot that didn't go my way on a great bear on Thursday Night. Overall, a much better week, but spot and stalk in the Roadless is no joke, and...

    Book Cliffs Roadless Bear (Spring)

    What a discouraging week in the Roadless. No sign, literally nothing. We put in 42 miles on our boots (no horses), in areas where we saw bears last year the same time, but there was nothing. Grass is still not plentiful, and I'm hoping as that grows, it changes my outlook, but was a rough few...

    Book Cliffs Roadless Bear (Spring)

    WIth horses it is a much different hunt and Im sure a much higher sucess rate. I dont have horses, but we are working on a plan. We were doing nearly 20 miles a day on average for 3-5 days at a time last year and I dont think I can do that again... much too fat...

    Book Cliffs Roadless Bear (Spring)

    We did. Difficult to hunt without horses but we managed (will tackle it different this year, still without horses). Saw a few decent bears... My Nephew made a great shot on a great bear on our last day to hunt right at dusk. Came back the next day to find blood 5' wide for nearly 3/4 of a mile...

    Book Cliffs Roadless Bear (Spring)

    My Family spent last Spring learning this unit for Bear on the Spring Spot and Stalk... Was an absolute blast and we learned a lot. With the snow we had in 18/19 we were only able to access the roadless on the south side the first week in May last year. I drew the tag this year with 8 points...

    Henrys Bison

    My Dad had the tag on the Henries in 2016. TOUGH hunt, at least for us. We harvested a great bull, but I heard success on that hunt was lower and had been declining. Fast forward to this year in the Book Cliffs, we were chasing bears, but the Bison were lousy, and I Mean LOUSY. We saw so many...
