I have enough points to draw multiple Utah units now but am planning on 'trying' to draw in 24. Considering it's a once in a lifetime for me, I THINK I want to hire an outfitter to maximize my chances. Who do you recommend? I'd love to start the convo and have someone lined up. Unit...

Just curious as to when those can be expected. I'm really curious on the age of my stag buck which had missing and badly worn teeth. 7 years old plus is my guess?!?

Hope to draw my LE archery elk tag and am looking for a single riding horse/tack and possibly a trailer near Springville/Gunnison area in UT. 2 or so weeks in Sept. I've had some horse experience although not an owner. I've done this with success in WY and NM. Thx Bill

Will draw a WY elk tag this year. Anybody you know renting out a pair of horses in the Pinedale area? I've done this a few times (diff areas) with good success. Riding tack and panniers needed. Thx Bill

So, my upcoming rifle hunt starts 10/17-25th. I've hunted muleys a couple of times but have not looked over many nor am I experienced in scoring. It seems that the Pauns plateau received adequate rain this year, so I am hoping for better than avg antler growth. What do you go to Pauns to...

Just curious to the current antler growth stage in southern UT. Have the premium rifle Pauns tag and would love to see some of this years crop. Thx Bill

I saw a recent post/link somewhere that showed a great map of the western US that showed how this years precipitation levels compare to 'average'. Having trouble turning a good one up. I'd like to keep tabs on units 4A south of Winslow, AZ and the Paunsaugunt. Thx Bill

With a premium LE any weapon deer tag heading my way, I'm making my hunt plans with a LITTLE excitement. I've received some help and offers for help already, so THANK YOU. I think I want to bring my Alaknak and stove and camp out. Any thoughts on where, any area north of 89. I'll drive...

Well...I did not draw my archery Elk tag...because I put my name in the hat for some far out deer tag that I thought was impossible to draw: SUCCESSFUL: Premium LE Rifle Buck Deer Hunt: Paunsaugunt Weapon: Any Legal Weapon Your season date(s): Oct 17 - 25, 2015 I might need some tips for...

If you've hunted elk in 4A I'd love to pick your brain. I drew a bull tag this year and have been pouring over google earth and the Sitgreaves forest map. Any help would be appreciated. Thx Bill

For a while I thought that I would try to hunt what will likely be a once-in-a-lifetime UT elk tag with a muzzleloader. But, after I get my 11th point this year, I am seeing a bunch of archery tags come into reach and an elk with a bow would mean a lot more than another with a muzzleloader...

I hope to draw my UT LE elk tag this year and am always interested in a possible bonus animal. It looks like some units have a general deer tag available for the same dates/weapon. So, how many have done this? Is it worth it or just a distraction? Thx Bill

How and when can a NR who didn't apply buy a left over? What is the process? Thx Bill

I posted this in the optics forum but am tweaking the discussion here: I shoot out to 225 yards with my full length Omega which has a 3x9 Nikon on it with the muzzy BDC. I don't think I want to remove the scope for the sake of a single hunt in UT as this is my 'go to' firearm at home and is...

I shoot out to 225 yards with my full length Omega which has a 3x9 Nikon on it with the muzzy BDC. I don't think I want to remove the scope for the sake of a single hunt in UT as this is my 'go to' firearm at home and is dialed in. So I thought I'd just outfit my wife's Omega X7 (shorter...

A big thanks to Don, Jim, Deanna, and all those that volunteered their time for the Kingman class on the 7th and... for giving me a passing grade lol. They made a long day fun, interesting, and educational. Killed a Javi during my time there, deer eluded me although many were seen, and the...

So I currently have a 2011 hunting licence now but plan on hunting 1st week of January 2012: 1)can I hunt off my 2011 licence with 2012 deer tag or does my 2011 hunting licence expire on 12/31? 2)if not and since I'll be hunting on 1/1/12 when/how do I get my 2012 licence (online ahead of...

No Joy here. Look under bogus points/eligibility and look at your totals (also year of last point) Best to all in the draw! Bill in MI

When are they supposed to post vs when you can find out by point status, etc? Thx Bill

When should we expect the NR moose/sheep/goat results to be out? Thx Bill

Just trying to research what the fastest 12ga sabot slug is these days. I know there have been improvements over the last 5-7 years. I've been out of the game on using them on deer for a while. Are they as effective as a modern muzzleloader out to 200 yards max? Thx Bill

I'll be hunting in wy 25/27 for elk this year and am curious to how you guys deal with water. I'll have horses and am looking to camp near where FS roads approach streams (on map). Do you strain (cheese cloth) water into 5gal containers from streams and treat? Do you fill up in a town on the...

Having drawn a west central WY elk tag I am looking for some tactical help. I will be hunting the tail of archery but really just scouting 3-4 days before rifle opener on 10/1. This is the scenario: The unit has lots of small ridges and one major drainage running mostly east west (large...

Considering the the .235 or the .270 gr Barnes TSX. Thoughts on terminal performance from close range to 400 yards? Double Tap loads both these and Sako loads the .270 gr only. Anyone with experience with ammo from these companies regarding accuracy in stated velocity, consistency, etc? Thx Bill

New Jersey is trying to get bear hunting reinstated. Please vote here to show your support. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/03/nj_is_expected_to_have_bear_hu.html Bill

Looking for your thoughts on what to use this year. I will do the due diligence and figure out what produces excellent accuracy and after that, narrow the field by what bullet/weight will yeild the best terminal performance on elk. Looking to maximize velocity potential and bullet expansion...

Help me buy a new gun! I am looking to buy a .375 H&H in a reasonably priced range. I have found a pair gently used options: Win Model 70 Classic (CRF) wood stock and stainless and a CZ 550 Safari blued/walnut. They are priced within 100.00 of each other. Which would you choose and why...

Just wondering how one goes about finding an off range hunt with an opportunity at a decent bull. I pulled the trigger on a smaller bull on the range a couple of years back and want a do-over lol. Point me in the right direction please. As an added thought, going with a bow would be awesome...
