Not much that hasn’t already been said. I used to hunt that area. To many people and the rifle cow hunts starting august 1 in the fields have changed the elk patterns a lot and so I moved on. You will deal with lots of pressure and elk moving back into montana. You can’t out hike people...

Point systems and methods of tag distribution is a whole other discussion. I like the random system for controlled hunts. however if it when they start capping “general season” tags I know I would be pretty bummed if I didn’t get a tag for three or four years when others had one every year just...

I think this is a very accurate statement. The fact is it can’t stay the same forever with the growth Idaho is seeing. You cannot give unlimited tags for a very limited resource without it eventually having a detrimental impact. There are lots of examples in the west of how to do this...

With the population exploding in Idaho most people have seen a steady decline in their hunting experience. More people, fewer animals and more pressure on the game that is there. My question is how far will the fish and game let it go before they make some changes. There are only so many...

There is a small chunk of public land south of big mountain on the Morgan county side. It holds moose and quite a few. I had a cow tag for that unit and killed there I saw multiple bulls on that piece.

Whatever gun you go with I highly recommend no excuse bullets they awesome for an all lead bullet. I shoot the 54 cal with 90 Grains if powder. Shot this cow Saturday she only went 30 yds and was done.

I drew a cow moose tag for this hunt this year, I had thought I put in for the slc side which I am familiar with but I ended up on the East canyon side. Anyways I know it’s mostly private property with exception of the East canyon WMA just wondering if anyone has any advice or is familiar with...

Oh and yes you will receive a receipt from the 501C organization for the entire amount paid at the auction for the purchase of a voucher. I have bought a couple but its been years ago and do not have the receipts still.

At the auction you are buying a voucher that allows you to purchase the permit. You are still required to take the voucher to the fish and game and pay the established fair market value for the permit. This makes the amount you payed for the voucher a donation to a 501c organization for the...

The extra tags have really made this a tougher hunt. We had a tag last year and it was a quick half day hunt. Also last year we never saw another hunter, this year we have seen multiple every day. We are finding some elk but they are pushed way back up the hills and away from the roads. Have...

What is amazing to me is everyone I know in Idaho complains about non-resident over crowding. The part I don't get is that in 2017 Idaho sold 78K general elk tags, up to 12.8K can be sold to Non-residents, and a portion of those go to residents as second choice. So for every Non-Resident...

It's true that consolidation can result in higher retail prices but in this case I doubt it. They still have to compete with online which is the biggest driver of retail pricing in today's world. This is not true on all items like guns and stuff but they still have to compete with the other...

I had that tag a while back like 10+ years ago, we parked at Big Mtn Pass and worked our way south down the great western trail. Almost every draw running to the west had moose in them, we picked out the easiest one for a packout and took her down. It was a 2 hr hunt no scouting lots of moose...

I had the tag a few years ago, I hunted the first 20 days wished I would have waited and hunted the end. After 20 days I killed the best moose I found, but the rut was just getting going good when I killed. The bigger factor is the leaves coming off the trees, the later the better for...

its a bad day for muzz hunters, others are spot on, adding magnification will be the final nail in the coffin for muzz hunting. The introduction of inlines took away the November hunt now with scopes more opportunity will be lost. It's sad that the wildlife board did not listen to the RACs...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-09-15 AT 09:23PM (MST)[p]This is a different bull marginal shot way back and I'm guessing he went a ways and wasn't bleeding much. he was definatly shot this last weekend though.

Just returned from hunting in unit 30 on Monday afternoon I found a bull that had been hit and lost, I am guessing it was shot Sunday or maybe Monday morning. If you lost a bull pm the location and some details and I'll let you know if it is your bull and where he is. There was a white Chevy...

The nice thing about a used pair of Swarovski's is they still carry the lifetime warranty so I see no problem in buying used. If it has some where and tear I believe for a pretty reasonable price they will recondition them to like new condition. I don't believe there are any major...

I am going to be helping my father in law on a sheep hunt this fall in unit 30, we have spent a lot of time in this unit but not much time in the sheep country. Just wondering if anyone has any information they would be willing to pass along. Thanks in advance

I would agree with the above, I had the tag last year and ended up taking a 290ish bull. The only thing I would add is this hunt has a fairly low success rate and with the early dates I would bet it would be tougher this year. 280-300 bulls are the norm for rifle hunt on this unit, there are...

A couple of wasatch bulls that made it through at least the opening weekend of the late hunt! http://youtu.be/jOODx8-gbuA http://youtu.be/ojPKhL6FBeg

Yes it is worth the money, very nice solid quiver, and has a ton of adjustability. Tourqe is the right or left pressure you apply to the grip at full draw.

Buglelk, Just so you understand my position, I do not agree with unlimited control tags, its not good management, I dont even agree with statewide spike and archery elk tags, there is no way to regualte how much impact they can have on a particular area. In my opinion every tag should be...

I will chime in on this as well, however most of you are not going to like what I have to say. I hunted the exact same country as many people above mentioned, but had a totallly different expericnce. I hunted the archery hunt, was into elk every day, saw one group with close to 100 head and...

Hard to tell without being able to see his fronts very well but he looks like and absolute giant.

Cletus, It happens in every state not just Utah, I personally know of many cases in Idaho, and one day watched a group of Muzzeloader hunters wound and not retrieve 5 cow elk. Also my father in law shot an elk with a bow a couple years ago in Idaho and we found a rifle slug in it when we...

3Blade is correct, too week of an arrow will cause consistency issues especially at long range. If you are shooting the Expedition, XT or Pro Hunter 5575/400 you may look at the Velocity 340 it weighs the exact same as that arrow but has a stiffer spine.

The problem with filing a class action suit is there will be no winners except the attorneys. Even if the few that join in get awarded a cash settlement the rest of sportsman and tax payers will pay for it. The IDFG is already struggling for money, I think the better option would be to...

Thanks for the info guys.

Thanks for the responses guys, Robb I have drove by devil creek lots if times how is the fishing there? Looks like a nice area we are not big fans of campgrounds but I may have to look into that. Buckhorn thanks for the offer mccammon is a nice area but I'm just looking for somewhere to camp...

LAST EDITED ON May-09-14 AT 05:40PM (MST)[p]I was wondering if someone who camps or hunts along the Utah Idaho boarder new of some areas to camp in. we Live in Lehi Utah and my in-laws live in Rexburg and we were hoping to find somewhere to camp halfway between us. We are looking for forest...

Cool thread my best buck is 178 I have a ways to go to break 200" almost got it done last year. The best part of this thread is over 60 posts with no negative comments about the scores posted, good stuff!

It was killed in southeast Idaho and was measured unoffically by the president of pope and young and after drying it should be the World Record.

Great advice Utah400, do not try and minimize any part of it. The law looks at an ATV no different then a vehicle in this situation and trying to claim it is somehow less severe because it was on an ATV will not get you anywhere. with that said you have three options, one call the court and...

I have hunted the wasatch for a long time, and in my opionion the herds are as good today as they have been in a long time. I have been scouting for moose the last few weeks and hunting this weekend and I have seen tons of elk and quite a few very good bulls. I would agree that the beetle...
