I'll bet that buck is 202.5"

My dad drew the tag this year. We were in there for a week and saw one loner bull. He killed the bull and it ended up being a great bull. I know of two other bulls that were killed while we were in there. There are 10 total tags for the mid-rifle hunt. I am not aware of any cows that were killed...

How soon after the buck was killed did the officers get to the carcass? Did anyone hear the actual shot? Tell us more about what buck's heart looked liked....what does "with shrapnel in it" mean?

I'm looking for 4831 or 4895. Let me know. Happy to buy or trade for other gear, scopes, or optics, etc.

This past weekend the elk were still in the same places they were in mid-September. Bulls still bugling and carrying on too.

I've switched to Outdoor Edge. The blades are actually thick enough that you can sharpen them if needed before actually changing out the blade. I've been very pleased with it.

Set me up with the goodies!

I loved the video. Great job!

Speaking of Chaffetz, how about the Back Country Hunter and Angler guy who stood up during Chaffetz's keynote speech at the Saturday night banquet and starting yelling at him about public lands, etc. It was quite the sight. He was literally carried out of the banquet and arrested. I'm surprised...

I want to go!

If your scope is a Nikon BDC then you can use their app or website. Just plug in the details. In fact the website will work for just about any scope if all you are looking for is the initial shot. It's easier to shoot and get your zero by zeroing the first time the bullet crosses your line of...

I need a pack!

I want to go.

Styler is also an appointee and close associate of the governor. The governor appoints the wildlife board and read a prepared statement at the last expo. It's not hard to see where this is coming from, especially in an election year. This was clearly a veiled threat to you and your law firm...

RE: Debunking the DWR?s Frequently Asked Questions Re: Utah Expo Permits and Conservation Funding The last three FAQs discussed and the conduct of the DWR is inexcusable. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I treated one of my private client's like this or represented them in the...

Right, because the two former presidents of SFW are now on the Wildlife Board making decisions to benefit us sportsmen. Don Peay and Ryan Benson, our lobbyists, are still on the board for SFW. So not a lot has changed.

RE: Debunking the DWR?s Frequently Asked Questions Re: Utah Expo Permits and Conservation Funding This was posted on another forum and needs to be posted here.... In its answer to FAQ #3, the DWR claims that the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo (the "Expo") (1) drew 40,000 attendees and...

Based upon the maximum amount of applications for one of the non-resident tags, it looks like at most about 1200 non-residents attended the expo. Compare that number with a base membership from the RMEF of 200,000 members and its not hard to see which organization would have brought more...

Is it at all ironic that the real name of SFW is really Sportsmen for HABITAT dba Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife?

Be worried! Be very very worried!

Cheer up ole Lump! :) it's just the beginning.

Lump - SFW would have to file the lawsuit. Remember I'm defending whoever it is they think "defamed" them. Keep it straight.

Wrong again Birdy. A stay is a far cry from overturned. In fact, a stay is usually given in these types of cases.

Actually I do. I've defended defamation cases (successfully) where most of the alleged defamatory content has been online. I'd be happy to meet you for lunch to discuss specifics if you'd like. Then we can talk about the stream access cases too.

I'd love to see a defamation lawsuit filed. ALL of the SFW books, communication, finances, payments, etc., etc would all be discoverable. In fact, I'll volunteer my time to assist in the defense. First person I'd depose would the number one Lump. LOL!

From Conatser to the Weber River (navigability case) to the Provo River (trial wherein Judge Pullan in a lengthy and well written decision concluded the statute 141 unconstitutional) the sportsmen have won. It's pretty cut and dry the stream bed belongs to the public through an easement which...

I've been following the stream access lawsuits very close. So far the courts, from the district court to the Supreme Court, have said it's pretty cut and dry. Non-supporters of stream access, like sfw, have lost every court battle thus far.

It was me lumpy.......

Founder, SFW should lobby all they want. Just don't use public funds to do it.

As an attorney myself and being somewhat involved with this process, I have inquired and discussed this issue at length with Marty Bushman, the DWR attorney from the AG's office. Marty is a good guy and will talk with you about these issues. That said, if I were to take the same actions the...

Birdman its disingenuous to suggest that the current expo is on equal footing with other expos. The only reason the expo is what it is today is because of the 200 expo tags. Take away the tags and the expo goes away.

The breakdown and scoring is as follows: 1. Viability of Business Plan and potential to put on high quality wildlife exposition. a. Expo Operations - 20% of total score b. Economic Considerations - 10% of total score c. Promotion of hunting, fishing, and trapping in Utah - 10% of total score...

If RMEF gets the bid there should be no conflict of interest as none of the Wildlife Board members are former officers of RMEF. The issue would only arise if SFW/MDF is awarded the contract.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-15-15 AT 10:00AM (MST)[p]The point is Birdman is that the DWR hid behind the state procurement laws as the whole reason the RFP was put in place. The state procurement laws include rules that exclude board members from participating in awarding contracts due to conflicts of...

Friday can't get here soon enough. Folks will be shocked!!

You don't think it's a problem for the public to not have any input at any time for the expo tags which are public assets? Why wouldn't the public be involved?

The Utah Wildlife Board has scheduled a special meeting for this Friday (12/18/2015) at 10 am, to review the recommendation from the evaluation committee and make a decision regarding which group(s) will receive the next Expo Tag contract. See...

I have the CVA Accura V2 with the Nitride finish. I put the Vortex Strikefire II red/green dot scope on it which I really like. I prefer the green dot too. The brightness can be turned up/down depending on lighting conditions. I shot 110 gr. of Blackhorn 209 with a 250 gr. Barnes TEZ loaded...
