Fun to scout!!!!!!

Fun to get out and spot!!!!!!!!!

Yes, my boy is super sensitive to sound. At sporting events he has to wear ear plugs. He is not so much sensitive to recoil but I want a small effective load for him.

Very nice! Golly Jeeeeeeepers!

Thanks Stillwater for the load information. That helps me make a good decision about loads. Have you ever gone down to a 50 grain powder load with a 130 to 185 grain bullet? Anyone?

I need some expert advise on what kind of muzzleloader for a down syndrome kid that is 4'8" tall and weighs 106lbs and will be 12 in May 2020. I really need the information about a load that will work for him shooting at deer and elk out to about 100 yds. I am all ears, we live in Utah and...

Just trying to see if anyone can lead us to a general area for turkeys seen this year in the Southern unit of Utah. My boy who is 15 has a tag and we have not been able to get out this year. We are both OK with tag soup and just would like to get some feed back on general area of turkeys seen...

I hunted 53 back in 2014. I hunted muzzy and was a little surprised at how thick the cover and habitat was. There are very few clearings or opening in certain sections. I am use to a few clearings and meadows for hunting here in Utah. I hunted for 8 days and saw an average of 3 to 6 bucks a...

Very nice Colorado Boy! You Da Man!

I feel your pain everyone. Hang in there everyone. MDNDEER have a great hunt. I am 53 and I am starting to understand the hiking dilemma and frustration of getting old. The mind is willing but the body is weak! Point creep is a...... you know! Savor every moment!

How was your hunt ReinerDude last time you dreww 44? Building up points is difficult. My preference is use them. Everyone for themselves. "IT takes all kinds to live in this world". I'm not sure what I would do either?

Hey Patxarano how was your hunt back in 2002? What kind of buck did you take? I like the stories even if they are older stories. I'll bet that was a fun hunt.

Thanks for the insight Coloradoboy. You are one of my hero's here on MM's. Have a good year everyone!

I am not sure where the "Witches Tit" is located? You can PM if you like. My family was bummed. We were going to go on a scouting trip to 44 but now we have to go to North Dakota. I am curious as to the MM people crowd here as to how many deer are really in the unit? When does the big game...

Yes, there are a few golf courses in 44. Gator is correct. But I think most of the property around the golf courses are private. I do have a muzzy tag this year. From my search and info I can see that the unit is very thick with quakies and fur. I am a DIY hunter. I don't get any...

I have been watching Youtube video's and I can't quite figure out where the best glassing peaks are. Thanks for your help.

I am looking for some local knowledge of good spotting areas for panoramic views of good mule deer country in unit 44. From my google earth search I see New York Mountain. But I am not familiar with other good viewing or spotting areas. Just looking for specific or general areas or ideas to...

Thanks for the information given. The MM crowd is great!

Yes, other LE units should offer management buck hunts. JakeH is spot on with the Books. Last time I was out there I saw a heck of a lot of 3x4's. I have even seen some pretty decent 2x2's and 2x3's not to many other branched antlered 3x~'s out on the Books.

Thanks JakeH for the good insight. My question is how many of the 50-70 bucks per 100 does are management bucks on the Henry's and Paun's. I am kind of looking for a ball park figure from hunters who have been on both units. Just guesses are fine even.

Interesting thoughts. So from what I am hearing there are a lot of management bucks on both units. Do more tags need to be given out for management hunts or leave it be?

I guess the point I am trying to make is. Take 1-4 yr old management bucks off the Henry's and Paun's with a youth hunt giving out 10 -15 permits per unit. Then continue to take an additional 25 -30 management bucks (any management buck not just the 1-4 yr old bucks) off of each unit which is...

Just my personal opinion when I see white antlers I usually associate that with smaller bucks. Not always the case though. I have seen 4 yr old (+) bucks with white antlers that are very nice. I have seen yearling bucks with brown antlers as well. I think geography and location are factors as...

I know they(DNR) have been taking teeth. How long has the DNR been taking pictures too?

I guess the biologists and board will decide the number of management tags for the new hunts on the Henry's. (Archery and Muzzleloader).

I think I read in the "Big Game Guide Book" that the percentage for youth was 30% and 65 and older 30% and the remaining 40% to regular ages 18-65. I think a management hunt with restrictions would be the best option. Say 1-4 yr old bucks with less that 25" spreads and white antlers. Limit...

I like that idea of a youth management hunt giving out a limited number of tags or putting restrictions on for smaller management bucks to be taken off the unit! I hope the DNR are listening!

I am curious to hear from some experienced hunters and their opinions on the number of management bucks seen on the Henry's and Paun's. I have inconsistent information on both units? I just wanted some more expertise from the MM crowd. I know you guys are the real experts and the real deal...

Thanks for the information and insight. We will look into all our options. Mostly going to drive and scout and spot. We will test out his knee a little bit. He is becoming a better hiker the last few weeks. Thanks againa!

Thanks for the insight. I think we will check out all our options being mostly drive around and scout and spot. He is getting a little better on hiking. Thanks again.

I have a youth (12) muzzy deer tag. I was curious on any info for 1 day hikes and 1 or 2 overnight hikes for a 2yr old buck and his first deer. He can hike about 2 to 4 miles depending on the elevation. He has hurt his knee in the past. We are wimpy ginger hikers! Have hunted 53 and 22 before...

Thanks Bean Man. I love the rocks especially on the mountain tops. Anything that moves on the rocks or rock slides one can usually hear. Sorry to hear about Earl. How long did it take you to hike Mt. Gunnison back in 1999 form Coal Creek road?

Boot leather is a must for me. I like to hike but I am getting old and don't go as fast and far as I use too. I am looking for deer. I hike about 2000 vertical feet. I can get to where I need to go I am just slow. Thanks for the insight. Any good ridges near roads to glass Mt. Gunnison and...

I can't get out to 53 until Sept 12 at around 4pm. Just looking for a couple of peaks or high ridges to scout on the west side of the unit. I am planning on driving around the whole unit....probably just wasting my time...but I am anxious to see the country. Any good vantage points for good...

Oooops....I put 55 instead of 54. I really have not had any information on bucks from other hunters. But I think your probably spot on for average bucks. From my internet search I have mixed opinions on the West Elk Wilderness from no human sign at all to horse tracks on every trail leading...
