I took my bow to a local archery shop and was less than impressed after I left. I hate when this happens because it really makes me not want to go back. Unfortunately I felt like the young guys behind the counter were more interested in talking hunting stories and drama then working on bows and...

My dad is 60 years old and has a pretty good chance at drawing a moose tag (22 points). He?s thinking about doing the cwmu up chalkcreek. Does anyone have much info on the hunts for this cwmu, quality moose up there etc? Is it a ?safe? spot to burn 22 points and once-in-a-lifetime tag...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-10-17 AT 09:21PM (MST)[p]This morning I was listening to a podcast and they were interviewing an outfitter here in Utah. I thought he was doing a great job until he said he has 14 tree stands on a limited entry unit all year long- because he loves to have his guys hunt these...

Does anyone know if or when the EL glass will go on sale? I know the SLC sale ends 12/31... the guy at Cabelas said it's been about a year since seeing the El's on sale and it might be coming up??? Looking for a swaro rep or insider info :). Ready to pull the trigger on some 10x42s soon- hoping...

I've never hunted bear before but I have 6 points for Utah. Trying to figure out my odds. When I do draw I want to have the best chances I can get so I'm thinking Wastach (close to home) and early season. Anyone have ideas on my odds? Thanks, Jason

I see that the draw deadline is April 3, but when does it open to start putting in? Thanks

Anyone have this pack? What do you think? I'm seriously considering it! I've been researching places to buy them but I haven't really found many that are offering deals. On Eberlestocks web site they want $299.00 plus shipping ($20 -$30).

I'm having a tough time deciding if I should go with the 2800 or 4500 (I really like both), but the 4500 just seems so big. The majority of my hunts are during the day but at least a few miles back in. There are some when I will pack in and stay over night. Could I get away with having that gear...

I've noticed a lot more guys are now wrapping their arrows with custom tape. Is it to just personalize your arrows more or is there a benefit? Thanks

I'm shooting a Matthews Switchback and goldtip xt hunter 5575 with 3" vanes. I've never fletched my own arrows - I was thinking about buying some stuff to do it on my own, but wanted to know how difficult it is to get going. The other thing is, I've been hearing a lot more people switching to...

Every year before going out, I wash all my camo in that scent shield stuff to help remove the odors and then fold them up and store them in a regular container. I've heard that some guys take dirt and/or pine cones and will put them in the container as well. Good idea? Bad idea? Neccessary? My...

Does anyone have a link of the area maps. I'm looking to hunt Kemmerer area and would like to know what area number that would be for Antelope. I tried looking on the fish and game sight but couldn't see any maps. Thanks

I'm planning my hunts for this year and while I know the area pretty well. I want to double check some information (public and private lands). I was watching on the outdoor channel and they had a special about public and private lands. A hunter might come to a fence and it may be private land...

What is the likely hood of Utah bowhunters being able to change the archery dates for elk to be at least 1 week later? I can't believe how archery hunters just barely miss the primetime of the rut season. I just have such a hard time with the state giving rifle hunters the prime time for...

Below are a few pics of my trail cam I had up from the 7/25 - 8/10. I have a tree stand in this spot. I have a ton of cow pictures that I'm not showing just because there is way too many. What would you do in this situation? The bulls only hit the spot on the 25th of July and then on the 10th...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-13-07 AT 10:47AM (MST)[p]Over the weekend I went and checked out my trail cam that is on a wallow. I had some great pics and really think this is going to be a great opportunity. Here's the dilemma. I have a good buddy and he's insisting on putting two tree stands in there at...

I've seen some guy's at the local Utah archery shops with a light on their bow they use to help see their pins while shooting. Is it against the Utah law to use one, or even have one your bow while hunting? I recently put one one and even during the daylight in the pines it's amazing how this...

I was down at Utah Archery Center the other day talking to one of the guys about broadheads. He showed me the 100gr. piston point broadhead www.pistonpoint.com He said it's the "new thing" and they have been selling like crazy! Has/Is anyone used/using them for deer or elk? I imagine if they...

I'm torn which broadhead to go with. I'll be hunting elk and I'm looking for the one that will cause the most damage and be the most likely to leave the bloodiest trail. I think these are all good broadheads because of what I've heard from people on forums like these. They all fly really well...

If your like me you've found an awesome area where you know holds elk and your just trying to be quiet, eyes open, and get to the area because that's where you'll glass or locate the heard by calling.... You get to the spot and you don't see anything and you don't hear anything. After 20 - 30...

Does anyone know of good website / person to buy goldtip arrows from online? I used to buy them from a guy out of alabama, but he said due to Goldtip raising their prices he won't carry them anymore. Thanks, Jason

Just wondering if there are and if so how many max bonus points for elk can one have in Utah? I was talking to someone today who said he has 14 for elk... For some reason, I thought the most one could have was 13 points. I looked through the proc. today but couldn't see where it said if there...

I'm looking for a new range finder and just checking if anyone has this particular model. If so, are you pretty happy with it. How acurate has it been with the the different angles? Thanks, Jason

Did anyone draw Dutton cow tag? I know the area pretty well and have always seen many elk during archery/rifle season. But, we hunted 3 days pretty hard this past weekend and not one cow! Everyone we talked to also said it was very slow. Wondering what's going on?

I was out over the weekend and got caught in that nasty weekend rain/thunder storm up on skyline drive. My bow got so muddy and wet! What should I do to make sure I don't have future problems. My bow was so wet it was like somebody dropped it in the lake. Do I need to worry about anything...

I know it's pretty late in the game but someone at the local archery shop recommended shooting the crossfire broadhead to me with my Matthews Switchback. Just wondering what you think about this broadhead? I'm not sure what to think about the broadhead spinning while in flight and how small it...

I'm shooting the Switchback and decided to put on the new ripcord fall away rest. It's not a as quiet on the draw that I would like it to be but I wanted to hear others thoughts on them. Pro's and Con's It's not too late for me to switch. I was also considering the Trophy Taker Shaky Hunter

What week do you all think the peak of the Rut is for Utah? Northern Utah? Southern Utah? I know it varies with the weather conditions but for last year when would you say it was?

Today at work we had a discussion about scouting for Elk and some of our opinions were different. I would like to see what others here think. I know some just go two or three times and the main focus is to see elk and that's all. Whereas others go and they focus more water holes and habits...

Hey all. Who do you guy's buy your arrows from? I've been buying my GoldTip XT 5575 Realtrees from a guy out of Alabama but recently his price increased. Anybody else know of someone would sell these arrows for a good deal? I know it would be cheaper to make my own but I don't have time to...

Let's see some pictures of your trophy room. All of these animals came from Utah

Hey all, My new house is almost finished with construction and I'm going to have an unfinished basement - perfect for shooting my bow. I trust my shooting - well a little. What would you suggest I put down range? Type of target? Couple bails of hay? Cardboard? How much for a good quality target...

How many here are putting in for Turkey here in Utah? I've never hunted them before but after seeing so many on the bowhunt I thought that I might give it try this coming spring. Have you ever shot one with a bow? Also, I'm looking for a good informational web sight on how to hunt Turkeys, call...

I haven't bought a pup yet but I kind of have my sights on a golden retriever, choc. lab, or a yellow lab (Needs to be a family dog as well). I was wondering if anyone knows any good websites that give instructions on how to raise your pup to be a good bird dog, or are there any schools in the...

I've finally decided that it's time for me to shoot a cyote. I never have before. I've seen them on the deer or elk hunt and I've alway's thought about cracking a shot off but I've worried that I would scare the animals. Does anyone know of some nice spots to shoot a cyote or two. I live in the...
