It was a fun, cold and windy trip. Saw lots of bucks and I could tell that bad winter of 2016 did its number on the heard. Most of the mature deer we saw were in that 3.5 to 4.5 year old age class. We did not see the 3 point issue that was mentioned earlier. I would say we saw more 4 points...

Sounds like there are some great bucks still to be had. It's a super tough tag to draw so this will more than likely be my last time hunting it. We will go and have a good time. I'm excited for the weather and hopefully some of the bucks will start feeling rutty. Good luck to you all.

Thanks for the info. You know I'm totally fine shooting a big mature 3 point. I actually like them a lot. Even a big 2 point is cool to me. In most areas I hunt, I hunt mainly for an older age class animal. Score isn't always important to me. Interesting to me you say the southern portion...

My expectations are a good time with a chance at a nice deer. :) I never really go into hunts looking for a specific number. Usually head in and see what is available and take accordingly. I guess just hoping to see some deer to look at and decide. Like I said earlier we hunted the southern...

Hello guys I hope everyone's season is going well. So Oscar (Moosie) and I drew this tag this year again (2012). I jumped on to see what people are thinking of the hunt. It sure doesn't sound good. I know we will have a good time but was just hoping for any incite from people in the know of...

Like stated above. The rut is usually early in 40. I would say the 5-7th is typically the heaviest rut activity but you will see it through out November. 40 has gone down hill but you will see lots of bucks and the occasional monster. Just depends on how hard you work for it and how lucky...

If you've played the game long enough you will see anything happen with any broadhead you shoot. From my personal experience I absolutely love the 4 blade Magnus Stinger and buzzcuts. Best flying and easiest sharpening heads around for me. Plus lifetime warranty is a bonus. IB

Man that's some good luck. Congrats on the tags. I sent a PM. IB

My son has the tag. It will be fun. Probably out a little earlier this year than last. IB

More than likely going alone. Hard to find someone to go with over thanksgiving. I might have a local going with on opening day but that is still up in the air.

Thanks for the info OchocoKid. That's good stuff. I will be battling with 100 tag holders so doesn't seem to bad but typically how that goes they will all be hunting the same areas I will be. I guess one big concern with the fog will be getting turned around in that stuff with little to no...

Thanks for the info guys. Yes I have heard that it might rain and that it is pretty brushy. :) I will definitely be stepping out of my comfort zone hunting the rosy's but super excited for the challenge. I'm a bit concerned about fog and visibility hampering the hunt as well. Do you guys...

Hello all. Like always hunts, family and work have taken it's toll on time this year. Looking at the calendar and I have less than 2 weeks before my first Roosevelt Elk hunt. I drew this tag with 10 non-resident points so it's not a super easy tag to draw. Looking at harvest odds from the...

Man what a fun tag. Later is better for sure but for me the early part of the hunt was just learning the area. Hunt from top to bottom. The year I drew (2010) we had a lot of snow but we still found deer up high. I ended killing a really nice buck on the second to last day down low. Focus...

These are the dates I have written down. In 2013 it was 5/21 In 2014 it was 5/25 In 2015 it was 5/25 In 2016 it was 5/24 I'm guessing they will be out the 23rd or the 26th. Definitely with in a week. Good luck to all. IB

I've seen that bull before. :) I had this bull at 60 yards broadside and decided to try and get closer. Unfortunately he decided the grass was greener just down the hill. Walked out of my life and yes I ate tag soup. If I could do it all over again he would he on my wall. He has...

Awesome buck and thanks for sharing the pics. The more you give the more people want to know. Everyone that is concerned about the story: Just be happy he posted the pic for all of us to enjoy. That's more than we will probably get from him anymore. Thanks.

That's an awesome lope congrats. IB

The deer are there we saw a couple decent bucks but we weren't looking for them. They are still high. Good luck. IB

Congrats on the bull. Post up a picture. My son (12 years old) drew the late tag in 51. He's pretty excited and we are hoping to get his first bull. I know it will be different for his hunt but do you have any advice on where to look. Thanks, IB

Has anyone ever hunted this unit before? My boy and I plan on heading down this weekend to see if we can find a decent one. Any info you guys can provide would greatly appreciated. I usually have time to do a little scouting for these type of hunts (Ones that you don't think your going to...

Wow it seems like everyone that drew an archery tag for the Wasatch is here on MM. ;) I was also lucky in drawing the archery tag. I'm not used to these early dates but it sure seems like there are plenty of good bulls taken regardless of the dates. Good luck to all of you with tags and...

Yep I got throught around 11:00. Glad it is fixed.

Anyone else getting the OCI error? I love waiting to apply the last second. :)

Im very glad you did. I started the email at work and had people send it to everyone they new. Pretty soon its everywhere on facebook and even craigslist. The hunting community is great and like you said if they see this they may think twice about doing it again. Thanks, IB

Thanks for posting this justin. I've updated the original post on the idaho forum. Hopefully something will come of thid. Thanks, IB

Hey guys, I was the one that took the pictures. Growing up near a reservation in Idaho I was well aware of the Tribal laws. In this case as Jerry (Supersider) stated it was very odd to me that they would even carry a bow and arrow with them. The series of events that took place was shady...

Yep not unit 17. IB

A few years ago it was May 23rd. So I would say within a week either way. IB

To answer someones earlier question about if there is 49 apps already drawn with 1 tag left. If you have 2 or more on your app with only one tag then the app is dropped and moves on to the next app with only one person. IB

Brian, Sorry to here of your loss. My families thoughts and prayers for you and your family. IB

Congrats Chef that is a beauty. Way to get it done in a short amount of time. IB

Nice buck. I would guess 28" and around 175". Very nice buck and I hope you get a chance at him this coming year. IB

That buck is a stud. Az402 and I were able to see that buck in person. I think we were the first ones to put a tape on him too. It definitely has the mass and trash. I think we came up with 235" or something close to that. We did a rough measurement so we could have been off. Regardless a...

Another VPA terminator user here. Great heads and very very strong. IB

LAST EDITED ON Dec-23-10 AT 10:15AM (MST)[p]Sorry guys I've been swamped with stuff so I'm finally getting around to posting some pics here on MM. He's not the 200" I was hoping for but with one day left I couldn't complain. He scores just under 190" even with the short G2's. I have more pics...

Awesome buck. I too love big 2 points. 145 4/8"

I agree with what everyone has said about the toughness of the animals. I really think it is doable but you really need to be patient with your shot selection. I went on my one and only hunt, so far, a year or so ago. A buddy and I drew the Rhodes Canyon hunt. My intentions were to hunt...

You guys did awesome. Congrats on a couple of stud bucks. I sure wish I could have met some of you while I was down there. I was able to finally meet up with chef. Talk about a great guy. Thanks for spending the time to come over to the camp bud. IB

It's finally here!!! ;) After 12 years of applying I will finally get to spend some time hunting the Kaibab. I'll be leaving Idaho today and will arrive sometime tomorrow. Then I'll be wondering the hills aimlessly hoping to run into one of the few monster bucks that call this awesome place...
