I'll have enough points to draw the Little Creek, Spot and Stalk, Bear permit this year (unless others with more points jump over and put in). I'm familiar with the unit having already Elk and Deer hunted in the unit in the past. I'd like to draw this permit as a good excuse to spend time in the...

I received an email from the UDWR to follow a link and do a Technology survey concerning hunting big game. Many of the questions asked are what you would expect based on the recent news associated with restricting trail cameras and long range hunting, along with a few other issues. Opinions...

Successful :D

Trying to decide if I should apply for the Book Cliffs Bitter Creek Muzzy hunt. It has been a few years since I spent any time there. So, I thought I'd get some feed back from those who have spent a lot more time out there than I have lately. Thnx.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-20-19 AT 08:19PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Oct-20-19 AT 07:56?PM (MST) Opening morning a couple was on the next ridge over. First thing they shot at and wounded a nice buck but, were having some trouble finding it. They told me where they thought the buck had been hit, the...

Just got the email from the UDWR. Daughter and I were successful for general deer. However, that was it. Smokepole

Fun hunt again this year.

As most know it was hot and dry, which in my opinion made for a harder hunt. This was the best buck we seen. Although, we did see some monster bulls, all on public land. We hunted unit 40, 3rd season. It was great camping weather and we visited with a number of other hunters, including some...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-07-15 AT 11:26AM (MST)[p]I was finally able to connect on a good bear on the San Juan. Went there three different times and met up with Kurt McFarlane, Mason and Randy Pixler and their dogs. It was tough finding bears this fall. We ran one the first day until it started to...

It looks like my Mtn Goat was aged at 8 years. I was guessing 6 years but, being a novice when counting the rings I guess I was off a little. http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/DCForumID8/5561.html Smokepole

I decided to go for it this year even though I don't have the vacation time I would really liked to have. However, I know where I'll be concentrating most of my time and if the right one presents me with a great bow shot that's my goal. Then again, if the right one is within rifle range, I'll...

I took a few pics of this bear rug laid out on the hood of my truck but there is too much glare. He covered the whole hood and hung down almost to the ground. This one is where the rug is laid out on a futon bed. The Bear measured out over 6.5 feet from nose to tail. The taxidermist said...

Just returned from my daughters Bear hunt. Here's a couple pics, story later. Smokepole

Just checked and seen an $83 charge pending. As we expected, we'll be chasen San Jaun Bears this fall. Smokepole

Just returned from the Book Cliffs and had to great time with my brother Ron. We first hiked into an area of no roads and spent a couple days where we did not see a single other hunter. While in this more remote location we did see some bucks but, nothing he was willing to shoot. One buck was...

My daughter drew a Diamond Mtn permit. It was hot and dry, the bulls were quiet at first but, did pick up as the hunt went on. We didn't see very many elk, they were hold up in the trees staying out of the heat during the day and with the late rut the bulls weren't with the cows. So, I...

I was looking at the proposed LE Elk Permit #s for 2012 and the changes from 2011 as posted by the UDWR. The numbers did not match what the "Draw Odds" site reference for at least the unit I applied my daughter for, South Slope Diamond Mtn. The UDWR listed there were 23 permits for the early...

My brother drew one of the any weapon buck tags for the Book Cliffs at the Expo. Looks like we can already start planning for this deer hunt. See ya in the Books! Smokepole

So, last year (2010) my brother had an Alton CWMU permit. Spent a week down there but, didn't venture over on the west side of hwy 89. I was looking at land status maps, there does seem to be some public land on the west side of hwy 89, south of Long Valley junct. down to Orderville. I'm...

I'm a Utah resident and am doing research on 3 Corners area for deer hunting. I've been told that the area along the Utah border with unit 201 does not contain very many deer. My question is for those who may be familiar with unit 201, is that the case on the Colorado side? Do you think it...

My daughter has 10 pts and is trying to decide if she is ready to go after a bear this year and I have 9 pts. I have a friend that was going to take us but, he recently got rid of his dogs. I know we could do a spot and stalk on the Bookcliffs (I'm very familiar with this unit) but, I've heard...

Returned from my brother's Alton CWMU hunt on Saturday. He drew one of the public permits. It was one fun and exciting week. Looked over alot of bucks and my brother decided this one was the one. Can't say enough good about the Color Country Outfitters. Thanks!! Smokepole

As a few of you know one of my hunting buddies lost his life in an accident earlier this year. Another hunting buddy just informed me today that a work priority will keep him from getting out in the hills for the general hunt. I had built a couple points to apply and draw the Southern region...

A very good friend of mine and avid hunter died last night in a terrible shop accident. He loved to spend time in the outdoors and was very willing to share what he knew with others. As a member of the hunting fraternity, he will be surely missed. My deepest sympathy and condolences go out to...

Just letting you know that I just seen a Whitetail buck (a small 4 pointer eastern count) on the property where I work. This small buck is hanging around a bunch of mule deer does. I was totally shocked when I seen him raise his flag and run off. I will try and bring my camera out and get a...

Thought I would post up a few pics of some elk I ran into today. A few of the pics did not turn out very well sorry but, I hope you enjoy these few. Nothing big, a few rag horns, a dozen spikes and over 150 cows. Smokepole

I just checked my CC and I have a $58 charge pending. Looks like I'll be chasen cats real soon. Come on snow. Smokepole

Plans changed recently and my only hunt this year will be a northern region muzzy deer. I bought the premit just before they sold out. I already have an idea of what I would like to do, right now I'm on my own, DIY. However, my wife would prefer that I did not hunt on my own. I told her I...

Just wondering if Vortex will come out with an ED Nomad soon? I've been waiting since this topic came up at the Expo and thought I would check if it will happen soon. I really want one of these! Smokepole

My son has one preference point going into this years general season hunt drawing. Last year he drew a doe permit and was successful on his first big game animal in three years of hunting. This year he wants to go after a buck, again. I already have some ideas on where to take him but, most...

I just came back after checking out one of the places my daughter and I were planning to cow elk hunt with our muzzle loaders. It has been a number of years since I've been up on that part of the Red Cloud Loop and I couldn't believe all the logging that has occured. Any way, I found some elk...

My daughter and I have enough Bear points to draw any unit in Utah except the Book Cliffs and San Juan. However, this year we are buying points due to her schooling priorities. We will be looking for a good outfitter to set up an archery bear hunt over bait in 2008. I would really appreciate...

This was a 3rd season buck from Colorado unit 22. The hunt was too warm, no snow and full moon. However, it was a great hunt. We seen a number of bucks each day and passed on a few willowy mid-twenties bucks early on. This guy showed up on a hillside where I was watching some does one...

I just obtained a managment buck permit for my son to hunt on the Coldwater Ranch CWMU. This is his second year hunting big game and I figured this might provide him with an opportunity to harvest his first deer. He can only shoot a 3-point buck (managment buck) and I've been told by the...

Almost a last minute decision to go to Colorado this year. Due to work commitments, a co-worker and I can not get away from work until November (3rd or 4th season). I bought the Colorado Hunt Report here on MM and it deffinately has some good information. In fact, almost too much good...

I pulled out my 700 BDL 30-06 this past weekend (I haven't shot this gun in a while since I mostly do primitive weapons). I went to adjust the variable on my Bushnell scope and nothing changed. I noticd that a screw on the adjustment was gone. I checked with Gallenson's but they didn't have...

A co-worker asked if I would interested in going after deer in unit 22 with him. He's talking about hunting the 3rd season. Neither of us have any points, so drawing this year doesn't look very good. However, it would give us more time to research and pre-scout before we did draw. I did some...
