LAST EDITED ON Feb-01-19 AT 11:34AM (MST)[p]It is a truly ironic method of management. Two years ago I watched groups of elk get pushed all over the place by groups of cow hunters in mid January on Tabby mountain. They were pushing deep snow and every cow, calf and bull had their mouths hanging...
LAST EDITED ON Jan-30-19 AT 12:41PM (MST)[p]I feel your pain. As everyone knows, Utah county has gotten crazy as well. Of course there is the massive reset button waiting under Yellowstone, hope Im not around when it finally erupts.

I thought was a pretty interesting piece. Anyone from Bozeman?
I disdain Pelosi, but I have to say, seeing Bishop dethroned from the Natural Resource Committee warms my heart.

I owned the first model of the sony rx100. They take excellent quality photos and videos for a point and shoot and I believe you would be very hard pressed to find anything better for the price range. Obviously, they cant compete with a DSLR or other large sensor cameras but they don't cost...
+1, BuglesNGrunts. I will never be sad to see a road closed. Everywhere I go, especially on the Manti, there are a thousand roads going through it. Nothing but the whine of two stroke motorcycles and razors. We need more designated wilderness.
So with Trumps secretary of the interior pick I am preparing for the worst. IF and I understand its still a big IF, federal land is transferred to the states is there any wording included in the proposed bills that forbid the states from selling the land?
Its amazing to see the blatant corruption in our state government and even more amazing seeing people try and defend it. To me the email sent by Mike Styler is reminiscent of communist russia, nazi germany, or present north korea. Fortunately we live in America where freedom of speech is...
"The Church does not stand by the sideline when it comes to Christian Values, defending the family, and religious liberty. They believe let people worship how, where, or what they may."
This statement in itself is one giant contradiction. What if someone else's religous beliefs are contrary to...
I am planning on a week long backpacking trip this summer somewhere within the high uintahs. I have never traveled very far back into the interior and am unsure where to start. Preferably I would like to find the least visited/most remote places possible for a week of people free camping and fly...
Yes I just love sharing the great outdoors with chinese tourists and power chair riders. Lets be honest, only a tiny percentage of Utah is roadless or restricts vehicle travel to a high degree. Why not set aside whats left to remain as wild as possible? There is still the vast majority of public...
LAST EDITED ON May-05-16 AT 07:00PM (MST)[p]I believe everyone can have their cake and eat it too if the right compromise is reached. Rob Bishops "grand bargain" certainly is not it. Any monument designation in my eyes will just help to negate the inevitable effects brought to the state by...
LAST EDITED ON May-04-16 AT 09:51PM (MST)[p]I wholeheartedly support a monument designation for the bears ears and any other location for that matter. If you have a minute to spend in case your curious as to why I may feel this way and don't mind my reasoning being in the form of what could be...
Last Weekend I watched five coyotes circle a herd of deer. My first reaction was to get the gun, but as I watched further I recognized what I was seeing. A whole natural ecosystem: Grazing herbivores, Carnivorous predators, and scavenging magpies. I have always believed that man cannot improve a...
Suncrest really is one of the worst eyesores I have ever seen. Not to mention the earthquake danger and complete disregard for any environmental preservation that went into the project. It was truly one of the last remaining pieces of prime winter ranges around that I thought would escape...
Yes I am aware this comes from a progressive source, however I am more interested if what is written in the article is true than I am over who wrote it. Does anyone have any insights on Pinyon-Juniper Forest management...

"We bait and scent and do everything we can to bring these deer out of Camp Williams onto a property that I bought 22-plus years ago,"
Sounds shady as hell to me.
LAST EDITED ON Nov-04-15 AT 06:37PM (MST)[p]Every year I see people sneaking around with camo and a bow during the extended hunt. Only problem is they're freaking on the Utah county side of the mountain, totally illegal. Who knows how many bulls and bucks have been poached above cities like...
Anyone ever hunted the south slope of the uintas? Thinking about buying a tag this year. Just wondering if its worth doing and if success is at least somewhat possible? Oh and any pics of past success would be most appreciated. Thanks!
So sick of this crap... Can nothing ever be left undeveloped in the state of utah?

I just finished watching this very informative story on ksl. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=33944360&nid=1112&title=ksl-outdoors-wasatch-elk-debate
Anybody up on the latest Wasatch info? New tag numbers, management practices, future plans, etc? Like many I have also seen the quality and...
Personally I relate a lot more to the "environmental wackos" than I do to Utah politicians as far as public lands are concerned. Escaping to the wilderness only to find the gas wells and mini ranches have already taken it over isnt the most appealing prospect to me. As far as the possibility of...
LAST EDITED ON May-06-15 AT 08:47AM (MST)[p]Finally there are a few politicians starting to see the light.
Not sure if this has been posted on mm already but I ran across this yesterday.

Anybody else fill out a survey? Has some good info worth taking a look at, especially concerning public lands.
