    Kids these days

    Yesterday while running my dog at the local park I heard what sounded like a gunshot. Then another one a minute later. I couldn't be sure it was a gunshot but a couple of minutes later I saw a young man walking out of the wooded area. Should've called the cops but I didn't. This morning I...

    Nice Utah buck from the '60s

    I was going through some of my late uncle's stuff the other day and came across this newspaper clipping. Frank Ashton and Melvin Ashton were his uncle and cousin, respectively. Not sure who the other guy is. I haven't been able to find any info about where this buck ended up but I wouldn't be...

    Idaho legal muzzleloader?

    Is this gun legal for the Idaho muzz hunt? I questioned its legality in another thread and the OP went ape. I thought you needed open ignition and no 209 primers...what am I missing? Looks like a Traditions Vortek with closed ignition to me.

    3 decent bucks (scouting)

    I'm scouting this area for the muzzleloader hunt and I've found a few good ones so far. I think buck #1 is the biggest but they're all pretty good. What do you think they would score, and which one would you take if given the choice? Bucks 2 and 3 are running together so I may actually have...

    Northern Ut management buck

    I was accused by a few folks of improving the gene pool by harvesting this buck. He's an old bugger with good mass but not too great in the fork department. But he was only a mile from the bikes on opening morning and I hadn't seen anything better in 4 scouting trips. So I was happy to help...

    Antlerless trophy (pics)

    Looking through some family photos I came across these from an antlerless hunt in 1997. These are pics of my older brother with a nice mature animal taken on private property.

    30 units, now what?

    Now that we have these units set up for micromanagement, I was thinking how cool it would be to diversify the hunting opportunities. Maybe its wishful thinking with the more serious issues afoot, but here's what I think would be sweet: Create some LE-type opportunity on a few units, such as ML...

    Today vs. The Glory Days

    So much talk about how to improve the quality of deer hunting lately. Everyone wants it to be "the way it was". I've seen quite a few pictures of big deer taken back in the 60s, they just make me think it was an era of big bucks aplenty! In reality was that really the case? My grandpa hunted...

    Decent scouting buck

    I've been out 4 times looking and so far he's the best I've found. Definitely not a gagger buck but he may have to do. Opinions?

    Quasi-Poaching

    How does everyone feel about "minor" infractions while hunting or fishing? I don't mean mistakes that we all make, but knowingly breaking the law. Examples might include: Keeping a fish that's 1/8" under the slot Shooting ducks 5 minutes before legal shooting light Killing a deer that's just...

    SE Idaho getting any better?

    Anybody know if the new hunting regs in SE Idaho are making a difference yet? I'd like to start scouting some places for a rifle hunt next year and I like the looks of unit 78. I know its a draw now but it also looks like you can hunt the general archery there and only a youth rifle hunt on...

    My big 3x3 mount is done!

    Thanks to our boy Packout I have one of the sweetest 3x3 mounts in existence. He did a marvelous job on this thing and really brought out it's best qualities with the taxidermy. I couldn't be happier. The deer was killed this year in the Utah's Northern Region with a general tag and green...

    2009 Utah bucks

    I've been lurking for a while but thought I'd post some success pics from this year's hunt. A buddy and I have been doing the dedicated hunter program here in Utah for the past few years and both of us finally tagged out this year. These were killed on public land in the Northern Region. Both...
