I hunted the late rifle last fall and only seen one decent buck in 8 days. By decent I mean a 160 4 point. Other then that not many bucks and most had poor genetics and wouldn't score much. Awesome rugged country! It was warm and dry last fall but the bucks were chasing doe's around good just...

Find a good vantage point within your shooting distant, that will give you view of travel corridors, natural funnels, saddles, or possible feeding areas that are adjacent to or within the scrub oak. If possible slip into the area undetected via the opposite side of the canyon/mountain from where...

So I ended up getting tommy hogg, it fit my bow setup better then the boss. So far I love this sight, it was easy to mount, the sight tapes are simple and didn't take much time to dial in. The micro adjustments are simple in design and no tools needed. Overall I prefer spot hogg over any other...

Here is a good example of the future of shed hunting; there is an area in Wyoming that I hit up every year on the opener, its a fairly remote area with limited access. This year I counted 11 guys not including myself, combing the sage hill sides. I've been hitting this particular area up for...

So I actually, have been hunting with the sure-loc for the last 5 years now, it's been a great sight, I do love the single pin as well especially for spot and stalk. Last season, i started having some issues with that sight, the overall durability of my sure-loc is not all the way there for me...

Does anyone out there have any personal review of the boss hogg? I'm thinking about getting the single pin here soon, I've heard that there can be some possible issues with quiver clearance. It looks like a great sight, i'm also a little worried about the sight being too heavy And possibly...

Awesome buck! I'm thinking 188".

He's a good looking buck for sure, congrats Bryce!

WOW! I can't believe the attitude of some hunter's out there. I'm still waiting for my chance to hunt a good 3rd season deer hunt and my chance at getting that tag gets worse every year. If we all had the type of attitude that SOME guys have, then our future of hunting would be wiped out and...

LAST EDITED ON May-13-14 AT 10:50PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON May-13-14 AT 09:02?PM (MST) Got my 2013 buck back recently, I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out! Josh Hunt at Deer creek wildlife studio, did an amazing job! -Sorry, my photos wont upload-

I'm thinking an old buck with not so great of genes, maybe even in the regress side. Around 8.5 years old. If he is an old buck that's a great accomplishment, he's been around many hunting season.

>You won't draw 35 with your >points. I didn't draw it >last year with 10. Yeah, my bad That's kinda what I was thinking for the# of points to draw. I was looking around again last night and when it came to 35, I was looking at the resident odds, kinda sucks I got as little excited... back...

I've also been checking into unit 4 4th season, any suggestions?

I'm going to try and burn up 7 nr points this year, I've been holding out for a 67, 53, 3rd season. The point creep on those units is crazy, the way things are going I don't know if I'll even be in the running five years from now. So I'm looking at some other options of tags that I can draw...

Thanks for the input! Maybe I should focus on some other units. 33 has some nice looking country, I was hoping for some better news, anyway lots of other areas to check out.

Do a lot if the deer on the unit migrate out of there come pre-rut, rut?

Going into a 4th season hunt I'd be looking for 180" plus, but as the end of the season came closer I'd really just be looking for a good looking mature buck. I would sure try to hold out as long as I could for something nice!

I'm right there with points to draw a 4th season deer tag. Anyone willing to share some general info I'd appreciate anything. PM me, thanks.

That is one pretty looking bull Brice. I like the mount, it turned out really nice! Something about a big symetrical 5x5 bull and 3x3 muley I love!

The muzzy hunt possibly being the best hunt this year...I would love to see that come true, Come on San Juan! J/k, In all reality anyone who has a good elk tag in their pocket this fall, and is getting out there doing some preseason scouting and doing some good homework, should be in for a great...

I switched from using Tripple 7 pellets in the past, to this year using blackhorn209. My accuarcy has improved a lot and my gun is so much cleaner after shots. I'm going to stick with loose powder from here on out. I also went from using Powerbelts to Precision dead center bullets, huge...

Man, thats too bad about your Omega, What can you do with a problem like that? Does it fall back on T/C to do something about it? Last weekened my groups were in the 6-8" range, @100 yrds, which is still in the kill zone, but I was shooting out of a solid gun rest, so I would like to be able...

I'm glad you guys are having success with Precision bullets. I was thinking about trying 95 gr. of powder and up to around 120 gr. Hopefully I can find one that stands out. I shoot winchester W209 primers, Is there a better primer out there?

I did some research and found the Precision Dead center bullets to be ranked very high among the flattest, and most accurate bullets out there. That being said, I picked some P.D.C. 260 gr. up to try out and see how they performed. I'm shooting a T/C Omega 50 cal. with 100 gr.of Blackhorn 209...

C3, thanks for posting your video. All I can say is watching that video is going to make it that much tougher for me to sleep at night, just kiddin. That was some awesome footage of some really nice bulls thanks again for sharing it! I have never been so excited about a hunt before, I've got...

Carbonation What you say sounds encouraging, about the pressure. It seems like any time you go the extra mile in getting further away from roads and deeper into the backcountry it usually pays off. Ive got a couple questions for you, I'll send you a P.M. if you don't mind?

I've hunted elk a fair bit in the Uintas and along the Wasatch front, so I've got very used to dealing with insane amounts of heavy pressure. I plan on there being pressure on the hunt, I'm thinking that any hunt with very limited tags like the San Juan has got to have less pressure then the...

I had 9 points, and even with that I feel way lucky! Carbonnation thanks for posting your awesome experience, the photos of all those nice bulls and the details, has got me more excited then I was before! Thats a really nice looking bull you punched your tag on, it paid to hold out like you...

It seemed like forever, but I finally got lucky and drew an awesome tag!! I have had a hard time sleeping at night I'm so excited! I can't wait to get down there and learn the country, it's been a long, long time since Ive been down on Elk Ridge. I would like to hear from anyone who has...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-28-10 AT 06:23PM (MST)[p]I had a fun hunt in wyoming this year. I missed a really nice 180+ buck nicknamed him (double eye guard) during archery season, a 70 yrd down hill shot, wish I could of had him. I went back during the rifle season in hopes of finding that same buck...

I had the local bow shop tune it this spring, shot through paper and everything, if thats the problem I better go and get it tuned again.

I have a new set up that I've been shooting this year, and have been grouping tight with my field tips. I shot Grim Reapers last year with my old set up and they flew just like my field tips, was way happy with them. This year when I started shooting them they were all over the place from 40-70...

Thanks, I sent you a PM, but I can Email you too. -Paul

Thanks Cameron, that's what I wanted to hear! If time permits(between my utah archery hunts), I would really like to try my luck with my bow and I could do some good scouting at the same time. That would be great if I could contact you some how and gain a little more info, from your knowledge of...

Thanks for the info! I also drew 101 deer. I don't know much about the area, other then via google earth and topo maps. This will be my first time hunting a desert type hunt but I am excited for this hunt! I'm having a tough time trying to find out much info on this hunt. Some of my questions...
