My 14 yr old daughter will be shooting my wife's LE bull here in UT via the mentoring program. I am trying to decide which gun/load to have her use. 6.5x284 using a 130gr accubond, or 6.5x280ai using a 140gr Berger. Both loads are very accurate. The best I have found with each gun.

Does UT still have a 5 round magazine capacity for rifles during the deer hunt. My primary magazine is only 4 rounds. But, I have a 10 round I would like to pack my extra shells in.

Huntin Fool states that you now have the option to buy a "point guard" option for $5. The point guard allows you to return your tag within 24 hours of the start of a hunt and regain all bonus points plus the one for that year, you forfeit all tags fees. You can only use this option 1 time per...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-10-15 AT 02:32PM (MST)[p]Looking for a little advice here. We have 3 unit 7 elk tags. We spent a week in mid September archery hunting. We had a good time, were close on several occasions. Just couldn't quite get it done. I personally had 3 340 plus bulls within 50 yards...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-30-15 AT 12:28PM (MST)[p]I am ready to start a custom rifle build. It will be a lighter weight rifle for deer 95% of the time. 24 inch barrel. I had my heart set on a 6.5x06ai. I think it would be an awesome deer round. I have a 6.5 1 in 8 1/2 twist barrel on order from...

We drew a permission slip to hunt elk on the Duncan Ranch in Unit 7. There are 75 slips given out. I can't find much info on the ranch. How is the hunting during mid Sept?

My dad drew a 21 muzz tag, and my son drew a 21 late rifle tag. I am really having a hard time finding any information on this unit. There seems to be very little info on elk. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Can someone explain how the private land access draw works? Just found out we drew elk tags today. I had never heard of the private land access draw until recently. How do you apply? Do you apply for individual parcels of land? Thanks

Custom Build Starting a new build and need to decide on a couple things. I have a Remington 700 LA. Caliber will be 6.5-06. Gun will be on the lighter side, but not ultralight. What is your preference between HS precision, and B&C Alaskan 11? Leaning B&C because of $100 cheaper and 9 oz...

I thought I would give the UT muzzleloader spike hunt a try thi year. It was a blast, even though it only lasted about an hour.

Here are some pictures of my 2014 Colorado Muzzleloader deer hunt. I do look forward to hunting Colorado every year. I Love it. I discovered the last few years that the muzzeloader hunts are a blast. As an added bonus the camping is much better than November. The hunting was slow this year...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-25-14 AT 04:41PM (MST)[p]Last year I converted my Knight DISC .45 muzzleloader to shoot the bare primers so I could could shoot BH209. I was able to get a good load developed with 100gr BH209 and a 300gr Platinum powerbelt. I shot a mid 170 buck in Colorado with good...

Does anyone know if Colorado had declared these bullets legal? Illegal? Has anyone used them? Thanks http://harvestermuzzleloading.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=3&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3

If anyone is interested, I have one for sale. Like new, mounted, but never used. Since Colorado outlawed it I need to buy a Williams peep sight. I Will make some one a good deal. $80 delivered

I am planning on heading to the Western Hunting Expo this weekend. Where can I pick up a voucher for discount tickets. $20 for an adult ticket seems a little steep. Usually they advertise where to find them. I assume Cabelas or a Toyota dealer, because they are the title sponsors. Thanks...

Can a Parent/Grandparent now transfer a tag to a youth? I know it war proposed and talked about. I never did see if it passed.

Do you lose your points, if you do not apply for a certain number of years?

I am looking at getting setup for some backpack type hunting. I am looking for advice on where to buy good quality items and things that you may be able to go a little cheaper. I will be hunting high country in the middle of Sept. Then some lower country into mid Oct. Mostly it will be for...

Question for those of you who keep better track than I do. What day did credit cards start getting hit the last couple of years? Results posted? Do you think we will know results before April 3rd? Thanks

When the Division turned the Oak Creek South and Beaver West units to Any Bull this year I was excited to put my 12 year old son in for the Youth Any Bull Tag. I was just looking into the boundries for the Youth Any Bull permit, and these units are not included in the Youth Any Bull tag...

What bullet do you guys shoot that does not damage a Coyote fur to bad? I have been shooting a 70gr Sierra Matchking that is very accurate, and puts Coyotes down big time. But it does too much damage to the furs. Would a Ballistic tip be better? Maybe a solid hunting type bullet that...

I have been kicking around an idea in my head for a few years and wanted to see what you all thought. What if the DWR offered a hunt with a Muzzleloader or bow about the 10th of November on each general season unit. The tags would have to be very restricted maybe 5 to 10. They would be drawn...

Amy, is there a place we can find out where the lifetime license holders chose their tags last year? Can you tell us what was decided on the lifetime tags for the general season units at yesterdays meeting? Thanks

I waited 14 years for the tag. The hunt was over 2 hours after daylight the first day. A whole lot of luck, mixed with some good advice from my dad who was by my side the whole time. What a hunt.

I am hoping one of you archery experts can help me out. With my setup the sight housing is as low as it will go. My 25yd pin is almost directly in the middle while sighted in. So it bunches all of my pins in the bottom of the housing. My question is what adjustments can be made to the rest...

How is the vegetation looking in unit 10? Radar has shown some decent rain storms over the last two weeks. Did they come before the grass dried up completely? How much rain actually hit the ground? and most importantly how is the elk horn growth looking? Thanks

Does anyone have a good lead on a place to buy these? I am having a hard time finding them anywhere. There are a few places that have them listed but, out of stock. If any of you have any you would like to sell I am interested. Thanks

Have any of you guys ever used this website? The price of this Rhino 530HCX is too good to be true. It says it is paypal verified. How many of you would buy one of these? http://cameragps.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14790

Have any of you guys used this sight. It looks like a solid well built sight. Reviews say it is super bright. 6th floating pin would be cool. Must be a reason it is about 75% off. Anyone actually use it? Looking for a good hunting sight without paying a fortune...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-05-12 AT 11:53AM (MST)[p]Is there any real difference between 215 and 215M primers? The load I was told shot good in in the gun I just bought called for Federal 215 primers. I have a bunch of 215M primers that I shoot in my ultra mag. Am I OK to use the 215M in place of the...

Looking for a quality scope for my sons new rifle. I want one with holdover points. 40-44mm objective. 3x9,10, or maybe 4-12 power. I really don't want to spend over $300. Always been a Leupold fan. Looking at either VX1 4X12X40,or VX11 3x9X40. Also looking at Vortex Diamondback 3x9, or...

Is there a difference between a 6.5X284 Win. and a 6.5X284 Norma? I have seen both listed. Thanks

I am looking at either a 260, 6.5 creedmore, or 6.5 X 284. I can, and have looked at ballistics. I am more interested in recoil, how easy they are to reload for, and any other personal experiences with any or all of these. This gun will be my wife's to shoot deer and the occasional elk, and of...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-24-12 AT 07:31PM (MST)[p]I received this today. Kind of interesting where all the dedicated hunters are hunting next year. http://wildlife.utah.gov/hunting/pdf/dh_unit_selection.pdf

LAST EDITED ON Dec-19-11 AT 07:26PM (MST)[p]This site is always good for a good laugh.http://damnyouautocorrect.com/15063/the-15-funniest-autocorrects-from-november-2011/

In your opinion what bullet, will hold together at high speeds and is still good at long range. I thought the Accubonds were the best of both worlds until I had one blow apart on a deer this year. I am shooting 165gr at 3500 fps out of my 300 RUM.. Are any of the "bonded" bullets better than...

Do they ever give 2 Non Resident elk tags for the early archery elk hunt? Total of 15 tags.

If you had your choice to hunt any hunt for elk in unit 40, but it had to be on public land only which would it be? And why? Are there more elk on public land early, or later in the year?

LAST EDITED ON Nov-14-11 AT 09:47AM (MST)[p]We just returned from a week of hunting Colorado's 3rd season. We had a great time with good weather, good food and great hunting. Colorado is a way to liberal with allowing private landowners to block off thousands of acres of public land because...

I know I have to buy a sticker for my ATV for Colorado. I am not sure what it is called. My question is where can I buy one? Can you buy them at Cabelas, Sportsmans, or wal-mart? Or do you have to buy them from a Government agency? Thanks
