When do ya all suspect we will be able to see what units in the portal?

When u apply for group do they show as one charge or all individual? Trying to figure out if my CC charge is two Gen deer or one mgmt tag.

Hahaha deerdon, we have 3 or 4 pages of notes so we got it... funny stuff

Jim, Jay, Don, and John. Thanks for the class. Coleman and I had a great time and made a trip of it. Too bad we didn't draw our elk tags but we'll have better odds next year. The class was very very good for my son. Thank you for that!

Anyone have idea exactly what went down on this hunt draw with the BP tags? Has to be typo...

The unit sucks, you should turn your tag in. Don't waste 6 points on that.....

Anyone know if odds by unit for dedicated tags were posted or made available? I can't see on website and am curious if it would take a preference/loyalt/whatever it's called point to draw the unit I want.

I don't have a strong opinion on this as there would be winners and losers. I like the penalty concept though, maybe a $500 fee and lose 25% of the points or something. I feel for a guy with 14 moose points that may be too old have a legit chance at hunting one by the time he draws. It would be...

That is awesome. Tell your son congrats, a true trophy with a bow for sure.

I'll take a page out of hornkillers book. HOW CAN YOU SAY IT'S A GREAT LINK? I JUST DON'T SEE IT.

Yeah, go with TB23 on the places he mentioned on the extended hunt. Let me know where you going so I can arrange a warden to accompany you hunting outside of the unit. HBJ or HJB, Matt, has been very helpful for me in the past so don't bag on him for never giving back. Think about this for a...

Amen to that comment about the difficulty of compiling the data. I've suggested to the DWR before that they use some dedicated hunters with skills like this because it's apparent they just don't get around to doing them for a while...

Thanks Hawkeye for saving me some money next year and into the future. I don't think I'll waste my time/money on that any more after seeing the odds. I knew they were bad, but not that bad.

Sold my alphamax and went back to a switchback myself. It shoots better for me too, especially at farther distances.

The hunt sucked big time compared to normal down there. I hunted 2 days and saw so few goats that I never went back. I decided that if they're hurting that bad, I definately don't want to shoot one and make it worse. I never even sat a blind. Just glassed a few and looked for deer mostly. It...

Ya Ya Ya. The damn thing was under 3 feet of water and I didn't have a boat handy....

snag, sent you a PM. You really going traditional?

Hey Ryan, How funny and ironic is it that the guy said this was like sitting in the dentists chair huh Doc? :) Jarret

I'm looking for somebody that thinks they might have drawn this tag this year. I hunted it last year and have a great blind built that I didn't get down to remove. I need to go down soon, but won't if there's someone that could use it, plus it would save me the trip. thx

Amy, when will the anterless guidebook be out?

I received mine in the mail in early march soon after applying.

I think the Wasatch Unit is WAY too large for the DWR to manage effectively. There is no way to control where people hunt. You can feasibly have hunters concentrated in one particular area and really put a number on the herd, while having another area essentially untouched. I don't think it...

I have had many instances of buck fever in years past bowhunting. Unfortunately the state of the deer herd has cured me of getting that in the past few years. Doe fever doesn't seem to get to me...

I noticed that some of the numbers referenced for last year on this permit recommendations doc do not match the odds report from last year. Anyone have an explanation for why this report might say there were a few more tags than the odds report for 2010 said? Poaching reward tags? can't be...

Apparently it took me about an hour and a half to skin this alone in the dark...

Also keep in mind that it's one full calendar year, not just 12 months. I'm pretty sure the resident hunting is the same as qualifying for dividends and that's the rule. So if you move in Feb it wouldn't be until your third fall there that you'd be a resident.

I have to agree with the 360-365 crowd. A shooter for sure.

NMPaul- I think this should be posted in each of the State specific forums and not in general hunting.. I'm just giving you crap since I know you really didn't like the UT posts in GH forum! :) I quit NM last year with up front fees. I WILL NEVER APPLY IN NM AGAIN IF THERE'S 2% TAGS AND...

I'd change to goat to improve everyone elses sheep odds.... Why waste your time with that few sheep points??

PM sent oldman

How does the badlands system compare? anybody used it extensively?

Robb- you get those point things I sent over? What about bear? I can't seem to find a summary of points, just what the hunt odds were last year. What about those that purchased points?

BC Pronghorn- I'm still waiting for that gear list. On my last backpacking trip to new mexico ('09) I figured I hiked between 40-45 miles in those 8 days and was between 10,500 and 12,000 feet. It seemed like I could not eat enough food. I was obviously burning way more calories then I was...

P.S. Nice looking bear, sheep and last but not least GF!!!

Great info, I appreciate the help and insight. I'm glad I asked because I've learned a lot already. I'm really glad I asked this far in advance so I can start planning and purchasing. Is any wealthy folk on here looking to adopt? 3 instant grandkids.... The outdoor research gators, anybody else...

340? really? speaking of rifles, I have the following caliber guns on hand: 25.06 308 weatherby 300 mag oh yeah and my hoyt alphamax. which would you recommend? I am planning on shooting my Utah Rocky Bighorn with a bow when I finally draw though. Had the same plan on my Utah desert sheep...

would love a gear list BC man. pm me or post here, whatever works. I think we'll bew 9 or 10 days total of which only six is huntable days, rest is preseason scouting. This is because he has to be back to teach school. I used the 4500 on my one week trip to new mexico and sold it as soon as I...
