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...

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...

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...

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...

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!

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 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...

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

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?

Lots of talk about internet ads here. It got me curious. What kind of value is the sponsor getting for their money? Personally, I take absolutely no issue with all the ads on this site. I think it is pretty great that Founder has built this page up enough to earn money from his work and...

I found out my Grandpa passed away early this morning after a short, but difficult battle with lymphoma and stomach cancer. This was a guy that loved to fish and hunt! About a week ago when we thought he still had a fighting chance, he said, "I still have a fish or two to catch". We knew he...

After a 40 minute commute this morning, I pulled in behind a coworker who was waiting for our security gate to open. It looked like he was having some problems getting the gate to open and soon saw his reverse lights come on. Before I could do anything, he backed into my car. I drive a small...

Hi Guys, I saw on a thread about spiders that chickens are some serious pest control tools. Ive been thinking about getting some for the eggs, so the pest control sounds like a good bonus. Can anyone tell me some good breeds that are easy to take care of and do well in Utah? Also, what...

I know some of you guys have some great looking trucks. Do any of you have any sports cars or old classics? I'd love to see what you have.

Hi Guys, A few weeks ago I ran into an old friend at the Ronald McDonald house in Salt Lake City. He used to be a neighbor of mine who has since moved to Idaho. Long story, but his 6 year old daughter Sadie, started showing signs of jaundice and was taken to the hospital. The hospital...

http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=18386653&title=centerville-woman-charged-after-urging-husband-to-shoot-neighbor The article says that the neighbor who got shot was telepathically raping this errr. . . woman. I know it was someone who posts here. Someone needs to fess up.

I have a question for you, or anyone else that hunts a lot in Saskacthewan. A lot of the deer I have seen you guys post from there look like they come from pretty open, prairie like country. Ive never hunted in anything like that before. Do you find that hunting mule deer in open terrain is...

I found this today on Google Earth. Can't say Ive seen elk on a beach before.

I know this shooting long distance thing has been driven into the ground, but I'd like to get people's opinions on this. I've read some posts about being able to shoot small groups while practicing. If someone is able to shoot extremely well at the range (from any distance), do you think the...

Thanks for those of you who legitimately participated in answering some questions about shooting distance. Not being a statistics whiz, here is my attempt at creating a normal bell curve using Excel. For any of you that are really good at stats, maybe you can offer an interpretation of the...

I want to do a little experiment. Just a little test to see what kind of reading comprehension skills we have here. Please answer the following question in one word or in one simple sentence: With what weapon and at what estimated distance did you shoot your last big game animal...

Lots of people here are talking about the ethics of long range shooting. Long range is pretty subjective. I want to see what range all of your rifle deer and elk kills have come from and how many shots it took to down the animal. I have only killed two deer: Mule deer - 45 yards, 1 shot...

All of these signs seen at the Occupy sites continue to reference the 99%. We know that they are protesting against the wealthiest 1% of the world. They are also protesting pretty much everything else all at the same time. Their credo is "We are the 99%", or rather, we are the other 99%...

I know Im going to get slammed for this, but who cares? This whole naming the animal you are after is so goofy. What is wrong with the Burris buck or the Broder buck? Ever since the Buck of Justice, Popeye, and the Spider Bull(gag) names were broadcast, it seems everyone has to come up with...

I have no idea how many people will answer this, but I thought Id give it a shot. Im almost 35 and have been contributing to a 401k for a little while now, but it seems like it grows so dang slow. I feel like Im way behind the curve, but I really have no idea. What dollar amount would you say...

http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/mlb/news/story?id=6747510 What a terrible story. The video is available on some other news stations, and its horrible to watch. It looks like the guy was there with his boy who watched the whole thing. I cant imagine what it would be like for that poor kid...

For those of you that dont know what this is, consider yourselves lucky! For those of you who have had this done, would you mind sending me a PM? Id like to talk to someone who has to find out about your post-op experience.

Hi Guys, With the release of the expo odds, I thought Id try to put some perspective on what the odds mean. Before I do that, let me state that I am not a statistical expert, though the statistics in this case are fairly simple. I only looked at the deer and elk odds considering that they are...

https://picasaweb.google.com/BrienK/ClayInFairbanks2011?feat=directlink#5620171349333767298 My cousin lives in Alaska and recently went to Denali. He posted this picture stating it is a wolf. Id bet a significant % of my 401k that this is a coyote. Anyone think it is actually a wolf?

Founder, I have a great idea. Can you please make an ATV conference? It would be awesome. It could have one epic thread that would amass over 17k posts all about ATV's, shed hunters, and lazy outdoorsmen. People could threaten tune-ups, and then other people could talk about two wrongs...

My wife and are considering buying a new car which would significantly change our monthly budget. It kind of got wondering how the average American budgets their money, regardless of how much they make. After all of your base expenses are paid, (mortgage, car, food, utilities, etc) what would...

Alright, with all the talk about wives and girlfriends still being hot after so many years, lets have a beauty contest as Tayhot suggested. Two categories, over 40 and under 40. Feel free to post a little blurb about what makes your wife awesome. Hopefully I wont be the only one to post...

Hi Guys, My old man and I are both Utah residents who have never hunted out of state. Neither of us have any points outside of Utah. Both of us are wanting a good chance at a 170+ deer and are willing to wait several years. Im 34 and my dad is 60. We are interested in hunting either...

Hi Guys, Im helping to run a charity drive at my office. Our corporation has offered to match dollar for dollar ANY employee donation to a registered charity of their choice. We are trying to get our employees more motivated to donate by offering raffle tickets to each employee participates...

Id like to make one last effort to gather a count of who will be coming so we can have copies of the questions available to everyone before the meeting. We also want to know if we need to make room for overflow. PLEASE, PLEASE keep this thread limited to confirmations of your attendance or...

Hi All Hi All, Ill apologize up front for the formatting of the agenda. It is in an outline format but didnt come through as I had hoped. For better or for worse, here it is. This has been sent to Don shortly before this post. He has stated he is open to any question, so I have gathered...

Ok, I know people are getting sick of new threads about SFW. I apologize for one more. There have been 4-5 different threads that have mentioned the meeting. Here is the official scoop: Date: March 25th, 2010 Time: 7:00pm Place: 383 Colorow Drive, Salt Lake City, UT This is up at the U...
