Who is on the New Technology Committee?

I think he will definitely get some significant length before he's done. You might be right Jake on the numbers. He may even split a tine or two before he's done with this good water and feed year. He should reach his potential whatever that is.

Yeah, I am at 19 after this years draw. So I will be going into next year with 19. Sounds like I may be still a year or two behind.

Yes, I have the permanent point from the Hunter's Ed Class. As for getting in Shape, I am definitely working on that. Giving myself more than a year to be in the best shape I can, then 27 becomes an option. If I draw it next year, I will be a couple months shy of 50 years old!!! Want to be...

I'm sitting on 19 right now. Would love this tag.

Can somebody tell me pretty close how many points it took for a non-resident to draw this hunt?

Why settle on that guy... there's bucks like that all over the place. And since you asked Nicely ?? people will gladly tell you where the "Biguns" are... I wonder if he would be ok if its just a 3x4 or a 2x3 in that size...

The Book Cliffs South gets better towards the end of the hunt. If there is an early snow storm in October that dumps a lot of snow then Opening Day might be the ticket but usually the end of the hunt is better on the South End. The deer that migrate to the south don't stay in middle ground too...

It really is unbelievable through there. Never seen so many road kills and it has been all winter.

Whatever. If you don't look at all sides to things then you end up making stupid decisions on emotions. That's all the camera ban was. Not trying to prove any point about using or not use cameras, was asking a question to have a discussion on "Putting the Hunt back in Hunting. Have a nice day

Slam, I understand you a lot more by this post. I can relate to everything you said to the fullest. We are way more similar than different I think.

Your right, people have been taking long shots forever. I do know that there were a lot more hunters and a lot more animals 35 years ago when I started hunting and people were taking long shots back then too. Was it technology that hurt the animals, I doubt it but that seems to be the Sideshow...

Why do you have to resort to start name calling Travis. It was a simple question to see if there was a way to "Put the Hunt back in Hunting" according to the Powers to be at the Wildlife Board on their first vote. I am not in favor of the Trail Camera ban and feel that it was a stupid rule but...

It's Iceman's co Pilot in Top Gun... I was confused too why a lot of people on here didn't want to hunt with Slider, but I saw the movie and he is an A-Hole...

Long Range for me is: When I KNEW I could make the shot then I was close enough When I HOPED I could make the shot then it was to far.

I am all for the ATV Ban. No Battery operated anything. Break out the Horses. No, but seriously I wanted to see if there could be a One Rule to Rule them All to Bring the "Hunt back in Hunting"

Remember it's not about whether or not Hunting is a Sport. I too don't look at hunting as a sport. I was curious if there was a broad rule that could govern similar to baseball when technology started to steal the integrity of the game/pursuit.

I get it. It's not necessarily an attack on flashlight's as I was looking for a simple rule to cover all scenario's to see if there was a way to regulate without having 500 pieces of meaningless rules that really don't make much of a difference. Example: You can only use a wood bat in the...

I kind of compare the evolution of hunting similar to the evolution of baseball. I played baseball during the "Steroid" era when the baseball bats, baseballs, Mitts and Players just got better and better (Chicks Dig the Long Ball) and it eventually got to where anyone could hit a home run and...

Yeah, without batteries I was looking at a way to summarize everything with a simple rule. I figured people used to navigate without flashlights back in the day. Would no flashlights eliminate someone from going in to early or late? Would no Flashlights change a persons perspective on how...

Good Point, Never even thought of that.

Not going to be able to word it exactly but just throwing out an idea. What if the wording in the Utah Hunting Proclamations read: No use of any instrument that requires the use of Alkaline, Lithium, Silver-Oxide, etc. types of batteries during any hunt in Utah. Just looking at the small...

You guides out there. Do you have repeat customers that don't usually harvest animals year in and year out. They just enjoy paying for the adventure. Or does Paying Money mean Must Harvest? I'm talking the majority of your situations.

How about 2 Way Radios? We are using the slogan "Put the Hunt back in Hunting" so there has to be a line or Standard for this comment to work. Do we do Mandatory Harvest Counts and keep making rules one at a time until we hit a certain Success Rate that indicates what a Hunt means. 10%, 20%...

When do people feel was the Tipping Point with Archery, Muzzy and Rifle with the Technology Wave. Of course every new invention is designed to make us more efficient but where was the line... Was it Compound Bows vs Recurve? Was it Inline vs Percussion Muzzleloaders? What Was it for Rifles...

I don't have the 100% correct answer. But I do truly try and search for it in all I do. Name Calling and Simple Childish Comments just go in one ear and out the other for me, Kinda like fighting over a Buck or Bull on the mountain by Adults... Yes my earlier replies had some emotion and...

I hunt Spike Units with a General Multi Season Spike Tag. I like to chase these weird type of Bulls on the Hunt. And in some very small way, I think I might just be helping the genetics, just a little... These bulls are never going to be shot and they are more rare than your typical 6x6. Big...

Bluehair, That is a Beautiful, Short and Sweet comment. I couldn't agree with that statement more!!! I really like using my cameras, I try using them in what I feel is the most ethical, honest way to use them. I honestly have never had any issues with them during the hunt other than people...

I Like my Cameras, I enjoy them as much as someone enjoys running a Trap line, just without the kill. I will still fill my tag without them. I think they took away a good thing.

Golf it is!!!

Another quick thought. I am really close to drawing my Arizona Archery Elk Tag. I want to try and get the Biggest and Best bull I can. Been applying for 20 years. Starting this year, I no longer have the option to use trail cameras. I live far enough away that I may only get one chance to...

From what I have seen, this seems like it could be a common situation. Hunter #1 Draws an Archery Paunsagunt Tag and sets up 20 trail cameras (not cellular) in June. He goes down on the first day of each month leading up to the hunt (June 1st, July 1st, Aug 1st) 3 times and gets there the day...

I'm starting to get it, I think. This World wants to tell me how to do what I Love and choose to do... since it's not about the health of the herd which has always been my #1 priority in hunting. It's About control!!! and if you fall on the side that hates the rules, you are against it, and if...

So by limiting technology and shortening the "effective range" of killing animals is the answer? What are we trying to Answer? What is the Question? I'm becoming more confused of what really is going on. I think the real question we need to understand first is "Why do I Hunt?" There are so...

That escalated quickly!!! I guess I don't write very well where everyone understands it as I can't hunt without a camera. Ha Ha!!! My point was I like to be very particular on the animal I get and it's not very often the Highest Scoring animal on the mountain. My point is my success will go...

This is how my hunt will go now since they have set season dates on using Trail Cams. I will still run my cams from Spring till July 31st and the 31st will become the Annual "Pick Up Cams Day". Hopefully I can still get a bunch of people to come with me to do this. Weekdays will be hard for...

You know the difference...

What about Google Earth. I'm sure it has aided in killing animals... Lets give a Trespassing ticket to everyone who uses google earth between Aug 1st and Dec 31st who looks at an area of private ground, plus we get to steal or ruin there computer if it is found during these dates. And if they...

This new law did Hurt a really Fun and Good opportunity for me and my family to enjoy hunting together. I have found more enjoyment lately being in the outdoors and checking the trail cameras I setup vs actually harvesting an animal. My brother has shot 1 deer in his life at the age 14 and he...
