    CO Unit 22 3rd Season Deer

    Hello everyone...Utah hunter here, I've got a unit 22 3rd season deer tag in my pocket this fall, and just starting the first stages of research. I've never been on the unit, and do understand that it's not the greatest tag in the state. My dad also has the tag, he's not getting around like he...

    NV 111-113 Early Rifle Deer

    Hello everyone...Utah hunter here, I've got a 111-113 early rifle deer tag in my pocket this fall, and just starting the first stages of research. I've never been on the unit (it was my fifth choice) and I understand it's not a spectacular tag. I'm not expecting to chase around 190" deer, nor...

    LAST EDITED ON Aug-26-14 AT 10:06AM (MST)[p]I was lucky enough to be able to spend last week chasing bucks on the Book Cliffs, and had a really fun hunt. It's neat country out there, tons of deer running around! Also ran into plenty of elk, and even saw the bison a couple times. Although we...

    Utah Drawing System Process

    Good afternoon folks... Since we're in the midst of the Utah Big Game draw frenzy, I decided to make a call to the DWR to get some clarification in regards to how the actual drawing process takes place in terms of how your points "help" you in drawing a tag... Obviously we all understand the...

    Meat Processor Issues

    Hi guys...just wanted to drop in with a quick tale about a well-known Utah game processor, located in Draper. My big intention here is not to drag the business's name through the mud, I know they are trying to make a living just like the rest of us, and I've used them a number of times over the...

    Archery Antelope (067, 068)

    Hello guys...not something I normally do here, but I've drawn a non-resident archery antelope tag for 067, 068. Before I applied I called and spoke to the biologist for the unit and got some decent information in regards to animal numbers, etc...he was pleasant and willing to help. I plan on...

    2011 Vernon Archery Buck

    This hunt obviously started when I read "SUCCESSFUL" on my confirmation e-mail this spring, which was very nice. As we all know living here in Utah the chances to hunt limited entry units are very few and far between! Happy to get the tag. Living only an hour and a half away, I was able to...

    South Africa Bowhunt - Photos

    Point Pools - One vs Two

    One of the hot topics amid all this hoopla is the subject of deer point pools. I've yet to hear any concrete information about how this will eventually be handled, but the general consensus here seems to be that there will be two point pools for Utah deer: One for the 29 "general" units, and...

    So most anyone who has read through all these SFW, etc threads will easily enough be able to see my opinions on the number of tags Utah donates (or whatever you choose to call it) to various organizations for auctions or raffles. The idea is to raise funds for wildlife and habitat...very...

    Utah - Think You Can Draw??

    So based on some discussion in the Mule Deer section yesterday I decided to look over some numbers for the great state of Utah... These are based on current numbers of applicants and current tag numbers. Rifle or Any Weapon tags. Each is assuming you're starting fresh. Zero points. Living the...

    Guess The Score 2!!!

    LAST EDITED ON Aug-18-09 AT 11:29AM (MST)[p]I put one of these up last week and you guys did a fine job... ...here's another. A buck my brother killed in 2007. We measured him up the day after he was killed once we got him off the mountain, so I've got the gross score. Give it a shot!

    Settle This Argument!!!

    So a friend and I are in disagreement here... ...he claims that the equivalent of a 200-inch Mule Deer in the elk world would be a 350 bull. ...I'd say the equivalent of a 200-inch buck would be more like a 400-inch bull. Help us settle this...once and for all!!!

    Watch Him Die...Or Not?

    This same subject is being discussed on another forum, and it creating some really good dialouge. I figured I'd pose the question here...the subject is how we feel when an animal we've taken is dying right in front of our eyes. Probably happens more with archery gear than with the rifle, but...

    Real or Photoshopped?

    I also posted this in the General Section, but I thought some of you photo pros might also be photoshop pros and would be able to weigh in... This is allegedly a trail cam pic in the "moment of truth." What do you think?

    Colorado ATV Registration?

    I heard rumor that Colorado is requiring non-residents to register ATVs in the state, similar to the requirement in Wyoming. Can any of you Colorado folks confirm or deny for me? I could look it up, but what fun would that be?

    WHAT A FIRST!!!

    Here are a couple pictures of my little sister's Wyoming antelope. She's pretty proud of it, and for good reason! Although the pictures don't do him much justice, the buck scores right at 85", not bad for a 14-year-old's first ever big game animal! Just a side note, she also made a great...
