    Book Cliffs Roadless Bison guides?

    I was finally able to draw the Book Cliffs roadless bison tag this year. I've reached out to a couple of the guides who are sponsors on this site, but looking for any additional recommendations. I have a fair bit of experience hunting bison, but I will need someone with horses / mules to get me...

    Expo Hunt Tag drawing - Public Excluded

    Once again this year, the DWR is excluding ALL public witnesses at the draw for the Expo tags. The stated reason is "covid", and to protect the DWR employees. This came directly from Lyndsey Varney (sp?, sorry not intentional) who spent the morning in the DWR booth talking to hundreds of...

    Swaroski NL Pure Binoculars - where to buy?

    I am ready to pull the trigger on a couple pairs of NL Pure binoculars. Yes, they are crazy expensive. It seems online that every dealer shows the exact same price. I suspect this is a swarovski thing, but does anybody sells these at a better price? If the price is the same everywhere, what...

    bonus point averaging, up or down?

    I am trying to confirm how AZ handles averaging bonus points. For example, a party of two people, one with 2 points and the other with 1 point. The average is 1.5. In the past, I believe this was averaged "up", giving the party 2 points. Is this still the case? Where does it state the rule in...

    EXPO Tag Drawing Complete

    The Expo Tag draw was completed this morning with no public representation or witnesses. The reason given was covid restrictions in the SLC office. Supposedly not even SFW had a representative, but perhaps that was misdirection and MDF was present, I don't know. There has typically been about...

    WY bison on the National Elk Refuge

    Just got back from Jackson after a very tough hunt. My wife was successful filling her cow bison tag, but this hunt has really changed over the years. We previously hunted the NER in 2013 and 2014, when the hunting was good. The last few years have been so bad the Game and Fish Department gave...

    Namibia October 2020

    I returned from Namibia on October 30th. Hunted with Jan Oloefse Hunting Safaris, where I also hunted in 2013. There is a previous hunt report on that trip. We had a fantastic trip, as usual, but I wanted to focus for now on the travel and current covid situation. We flew Delta into Dulles...

    Elephant Hunting - A Management Perspective

    There has been a fair bit in the news lately about the USFWS lifting the ban on elephant imports from much of southern Africa. Of course, the radical anti-hunting crowd has ratcheted up the rhetoric. The following article is a good reminder about looking at any animal species holistically as it...

    Unit 7 Antelope

    I spent three days last weekend scouting for antelope in unit 7. Covered lots of ground, learned the roads, and got a general feel for the unit, but also understand this is going to be a tough hunt. Saw very, very few antelope, and only 1 buck, which was nice, but not great. Any insights or...

    I drew a unit 23 Coues deer tag excluding Burro Mountain. I hunt coues deer regularly across the border in AZ, but don't know much about unit 23 in NM. Any information or feedback would be appreciated. Should I try to hunt near the Burro Mtn area? What about the northern part of the unit? My tag...

    Alaskan Moose photos 2013

    I thought I would post some photos of our 2013 Alaska moose hunt. I hunted with a friend, DIY, and we both took very nice bulls. This was a very remote unit, and we flew in to a local village, rented a small john boat, then went 50 miles down river to where we set up camp. I hunted this area...

    WY bison results posted

    I believe I am going bison hunting in WY this year! Unfortunately, I won't be pulling the trigger. My priority number is over 1000. But my wife has priority number 16. I think that means she is a lock for a NR bison tag this year. Looking forward to a very busy fall.... Bill

    UDWR Board June meeting

    The Wildife board just voted to maintain the Division's method of calculating conservation permit numbers. While the rule says 5% for most species, and 10% for sheep tags, the Division routinely rounds these numbers in such a way that it exceeds 5% significantly. In the case of pronghorn, a hard...

    2010 Monroe elk recovered

    While archery hunting the Monroe unit in Utah this last weekend, I stumbled upon the carcass of a pretty decent bull taken either last year or the year before in the archery hunt.
