Ha, I was gonna say the same thing. Best movie ever.

I had the tag last year and ate it, but it was mostly due to inexperience. I had never hunted elk before and didnt have anyone to help me out. That being said, I was able to call in a couple that I passed on. My experience with crowds was similar to what was said earlier. I passed people on...

Really appreciate the comments guys. It's nice to get constructive criticism that will help me next time! I guess I need to hope to get an expo tag. Not sure I can handle waiting to draw another state issued one!

Thanks for the advice guys! I kind of suspected I was being too cautious in closing the distance. This was an expensive lesson to learn having spent a bunch of points on a hunt to come out with nada. Hopefully I can get lucky in the next several years and give it another shot. Anymore tips...

I dont think I'm experienced enough on the unit to corroborate the cow population, but I can tell you I saw very few cows where I was. The herd I stumbled upon was really the only large group I saw. I maybe saw 2-3 other cows the whole trip. As far as running into other hunters, I would see...

Hi Guys, Just got back from the Wasatch muzz hunt and ended up eating my tag. This was my first elk hunt and I felt pretty over my head as far as knowing anything about elk and knowing how to call. The calls I was using were a Hoochie Mama, a Hyperlip Double, and a Baffler Bugle. The...

Hi Guys, I have been up on the Wasatch unit with a muzzle loader tag. It seems like all the elk have stopped bugling. When this happens, what strategies would you suggest? I'm new to elk hunting and have no idea what to do now. Will the bulls still respond to cow calls? If I were to sit...

Funny, I bought the same gun the day before I busted the bone. I think you guys have talked me in to going. Right now I can't shoot, but I'm sure I can get someone to go up with me to sight it in. Even had one offer from a total stranger on here to help me pack it out. There are some pretty...

Browning. . . I did that guy a favor last year!

I sure appreciate the comments guys. I'm still pretty torn on what to do. I don't think I'll be able to pack much out and have no idea what kind of support I'll have from friends and family. It's a lot to ask people to come out with the full expectation of having them pack out an animal...

Hi Guys, I've had some crappy luck over the last year or so. Last year I drew a Wasatch Muzz elk tag and was pretty pumped to hunt. A few weeks before the hunt I broke my collar bone in a mountain biking wreck and had to turn the tag in. I was lucky enough to draw the tag again this year...

Sorry for the late response but thank u for the info!

Anyone know if the ice is off yet or have an idea as to much longer it'll be around?

Hi Guys, I have 9 points for elk and a friend of mine wants to put in as a group for the Wasatch muzz hunt. I'm pretty sure he doesnt have any points though. I know this impacts my odds of drawing, but I'm not totally sure how the math works. Are my odds of drawings essentially cut in half...

This is my favorite part of the article: "(James') death was a senseless tragedy," Osborn said. "Senseless because it could have been avoided." I was thinking the same thing. . . coulda been avoided. Avoided by not charging a cop. Could the officer have done anything to escalate it? I...

LOL! Luke Wilson was a nobody before last night. Funny you would even mention him.

You don't hunt with a flat brimmed hat. Period.

Boy I'd love to give an experience like that to my sons!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets frustrated by this. I certainly know I'm not beyond making a mistake. I've been fortunate enough not to lose an animal, though I do admit I have taken a shot at an animal that wasnt a good choice and missed. It wasnt until someone mentioned to me that...

There is a post over in the elk section showing a nice bull that was shot and wasnt recovered. The amount of people that responded to this post suggesting they may have lost an animal is staggering. This one happens to be from a rifle shot. I know hunters using different weapons tend to blame...

Ozz, I've been on this site now for probably around 14 years. I don't expect you to go and search my posting history to know what kind of person I am, but if you did, I think you'd come to recognize that I'm not the type of vigilante, or prick that you think I am. Might I have been hard on...

So awesome!

I know the crap I'll take for this, but I dont care. There is another thread just posted showing a beautiful bull dead from a hind quarter rifle shot that has not been recovered. Combine that sad picture with this story and it's too hard not to say something. I think it's terrible that you...

Are all of these PM's being sent meaning that everyone of these guys have lost a bull? Please tell me this isnt true!!

I just wanted to apologize for bringing up the radio thing. I didn't think it would have had such a negative impact on your post. Great bull and glad u enjoyed the hunt.

Well I did turn the tag in. The break was pretty bad and required surgery, so there was no chance of shooting. It was the Wasatch muzz hunt. I think I should draw again next year. Definitely a bummer but I'm thankful it wasn't worse. I wrecked 3 miles from the parking lot and was fortunate that...

Well, my LE muzz hunt is over. I know, it doesn't start til next week, but I broke my collar bone last night while mountain biking. Took a spill and got to walk 3 miles in the dark. Good times!

Very nice bull! I dont mean to stir up anything and hope this isn't construed as trying to be critical, but do you or anyone else here know what the law is when it comes to using radios for game location? I've thought about bringing my radios up to use for this purpose, but for some reason I...

I'd love to have that bull! I'm not looking for a beast, but just something worthy of being on a wall. I really appreciate the feedback and help!

>What is sad is your grammer >and puncuation skills. Almost as sad as your spelling.

PM sent.

I do have a hoochie mama, but it's not something I plan on using a lot. I have been practicing more with a hyperlip double by Primos. I dont have a bugle right now and don't expect to get one. I'm afraid I will screw up a hunt using one more than it would help me since I havent really used...

Hi Guys, I've spend the last 4-5 weekends up in the Wasatch unit scouting and preparing for my muzzle loader hunt. This year is going to be a challenging hunt for me since I have never hunted elk, never hunted with a muzzle loader, and am not terribly familiar with elk behavior. Since I...

I'd love to have a guide help out, but that kind of $$ just isn't an option for me. Those pictures do look great though!

I drew this tag this year as my first elk hunt ever. I'm definitely pretty excited and pretty overwhelmed at the thought of learning something totally new. I have a couple of friends that are familiar with the unit and have offered to help both before and during the hunt. For those of you...

Thanks guys! I drew the Wasatch muzz hunt this year and would be pretty happy with something in this range.

RE: Utah Bonus Point I'm shocked by the response to this post for two reasons: 1. No has yet called me an idiot or chastised me for not knowing. 2. It generated more than one response. Thanks guys!

Could you guys post up any pictures of bulls that score somewhere near that range?

No lol, but the short answer is totally sufficient. I'm hoping for a Wasatch LE Elk muzzy tag. Seems like a decent chance to draw. Not looking for a monster, but just a fun hunt with a chance to put something nice on a wall. I've never hunted elk before and this seems like a good one to get...

Hi Guys, Quick, dumb question. When I applied for an LE hunt this year, it showed I had 8 points. Does that mean you enter the drawing w/ 8 points, or would I enter w/ 9 points after essentially paying for the additional one?
