This is either a bad description, or exactly what is wrong with hunting today. It just doesn't sound like she ever hunted.

Why does Utah post such inaccurate drawing odds? Henry Mt. archery deer suggests roughly 1 in 52 odds. But with bonus points factored in the true odds are 1 in 946.

My son drew an archery tag with 6 points and got his hands on his own big archery Henrys buck. He has been there for his grandpa's hunt, his dad's hunt, and now his own. This was a much tougher year and we killed about the best buck we had found. Lots of miles covered and lots of fun. I was...

I've been chasing elk in the Wasatch with my LE tag. I have put on a lot of miles and have only seen one buck over 8 days. A 1x2. The most deer I've seen in a hike is 7. I am hunting mostly dark timber but I have spent a few days on the open aspen slopes. Is it as bad as it looks? I sure...

I am very unlucky at anything involving a draw, but I did manage to draw a Wasatch archery elk tag from the expo! Crazy!!!

The weather really shut things down for the final week of the archery hunt. We got real close to big bulls the the final weekend and then the weather got hot and the wind blew relentlessly for the final five days. I've never seen a more relentless wind! The elk only bugled in the morning and...

My wife has an archery tag and we are heading out for the final week tomorrow. I am Stoked! They are really heating up and we have seen some really good bulls. But, I made her let a nice bull go Saturday so she will kill me if we don't get a better opportunity. It is going to be a great...

This is one very impressive buck. And, he always had impressive buddies with him too. I did not get after this deer because there were two hunters already working on him and one was friend of mine. They did not get him on the bow hunt. The buck was killed on the muzzleloader though.

I managed to miss this buck at 43 yds and was in real close another time but a mountain lion blew things up. This buck may not look as impressive to most but he is a beautiful typical and scored exactly 200 hard horned.

This was my number two buck on the Henry Mt. archery. I believe I would have killed this buck if the Mgmt. Archery tag had not been established. I was close to him three times but a management guy really wanted a 22" 3 point he was hanging with. My #1 was awesome too. But a guide had an archery...

After all of the years of waiting I drew an archery tag with 18 bonus points this year. It was the hunt of a lifetime for sure. Lots of work, Lots of reward, and lots of great memories. My son was there to watch this stalk play out on the last day he would have been able to be there with me...

I didn't think it was possible but my buddy was unsuccesful for an archery tag as a first choice. Does this worry you? Next year we will have no idea about hunter interest in the new smaller regions. It is going to take a few years to sort out. Say goodbye to hunting with family. (as far...

The Utah DWR has posted three options for the 2011 deer hunt on their web site. Eveyone should take a look at all of them and think it through carefully. I would like to see everyones opinions on the best option to proceed with. My opinion is that many of the details are missing for option #2...

Why is it that every beer can that the slobs leave out in the woods is a Keystone? And all of the soda cans they leave are Pepsi? Seriously, I couldn't believe the places I found litter this year. Just when I felt like I was so far off the ridge that no other human had probably ever been there...

I applaud the Utah DWR for abandoning the proposal for 2011 hunt changes. They are now considering two new ideas which are both much better than the original idea. One idea is lessening the number of tags in each unit until buck to doe ratios are correct. The other idea is to finally break...

I must admit, I am really starting to feel it. I have low expectations this year. But, I am ready to hunt. I scouted up one buck that is right at about my personal best mark and he is occupying my thoughts a lot lately.

Looks like I am only hunting a couple of bucks this year. I could not believe how few deer I saw this weekend. These were the only two of interest. I think the bigger one will be pretty decent when he finishes growing.

Boy, there have been some big bucks and bulls arrowed this year. It looks like a very good archery hunt in Utah for 2009. You have just gotta love archery hunting and Monster Muleys for giving everyone a chance to share in it all.

Somebody told me that we don't need to wear orange on the LE Elk hunt (Wasatch). The proclamation seems to read that we do. Anybody know the answer for sure. It will save me a long session on hold with the DWR.

These kind of post are probably getting a bit boring for everyone but winter is a slow time for us Muley guys. This is my archery buck from this season and the taxidermist is nearly done with him. He was officially scored recently for Pope & Young. Let's see how close you can guess on him.

After spending all of my scouting and hunting time on the Henrys with my dad I finally got a little time for my own hunt. I was really just waiting for the muzzleloader hunt, but Saturday morning I ran into a damn nice buck and managed to arrow him. My son and I looked very hard for the deer...

My 65 year old dad sealed the deal on the Henrys Friday evening. It was a very fun hunt and a lot of work was eventually rewarded. We were very fortunate to find this particular buck and had not seen him prior to the evening we killed him. Good old fashioned dumb luck. I now know what this...
