Your TOO late with this suggestion. Utah's game management is already privatized/being run from an outside interest (and has been for a few years now). It is called SFW. Muleydoc

Rooke, Not trying to hijack this thread but I am a relatively new member of MAHA and was curious what your thoughts are with regards to how MAHA compares to HSP? Do you think one is clearly better than another with regards to property, rules, etc? PM me if you prefer as I would really be...

Congratulations on a great bull! Well done and goes to a very deserving hunter. The great thing about a hunt and experience like this is (in my opinion) that you can have the satisfaction of knowing that you did all of the scouting, planning, practicing, and hunting to make the success happen...

Don, Shhhh! You are going to ruin my chance of drawing that tag again (now starting over with 2 points). :-) I hope you are doing well and good luck in the draws this year! Steve (Muleydoc)

If the article is correct then Utah has to have the best mule deer herd in the country (and here I always thought the Utah DWR was in it for the money only going for quantity over quality)! :) Muleydoc

Congratulations on a great buck BOHNTR! Another great trophy for one of the best bowhunters out there. It is great to see one of the guys doing it for purely the love of bowhunting and not trying too make a name for himself continue to be successful! Muleydoc

Don, Thanks. It was a fun hunt. I meant to stop in and say hello but the hunt was over so quickly and the weather was so hot that I had to head into town right away so as to not lose the meat. It sounds like you had a great hunt as well. Good luck with the rest of your hunts! Steve

The buck was taken spot and stalk on the second morning of the hunt. I blew the stalk on him the first morning (was at 35 yards)when a buck antelope busted me. We put him to bed the second morning and I was able to stalk within 30 yards of him in his bed and able to get the job done. It was a...

UThunting, I think that mule deer on the sign is aweful big for a general region Utah herd buck. Do they make signs that are either 2 points or spikes! Muleydoc

I drew Unit 2C Jan. archery deer (decided to give it a try)as my first choice. I have hunted the 2B archery hunt twice before and I agree that you should have a great bowhunt. Good luck! Muleydoc

Thank you New Mexico! My son drew a youth Unit 17 either sex elk muzzleloader tag and a youth 2B rifle deer tag. I was drawn for a unit 2C Jan. archery deer tag. Good luck to all those lucky enough to get tags as well! Muleydoc

Don, My son drew the same youth muzzleloader tag. It should be a great opportunity for them to have a quality elk hunt. Good luck! Muleydoc

For managing Mule Deer I would rank the states as the following: 1) Nevada 2) Colorado 3) Arizona 4) Wyoming 5) New Mexico . . . 47) Florida 48) Rhode Island 49) New York 50) Utah I may be off by one or two but I think that is very close to an accurate ranking. Muleydoc

I also have max points (I took the hunter ed class 2 years ago) so make that 23! Muleydoc

That is discouraging to hear. That is my biggest concern currently with the Book Cliffs. With all the new roads and increased traffic in the area it seems it will continue to be a problem. It makes it to tempting and easy for someone to take advantage of an opportunity to poach an animal. I...

I don't know about the "fixed" draw but I have a 12 year old son who is very excited that he was able to draw a turkey tag! And for what it is worth a neighbor of mine drew one of the moose tags and his 14 year old son drew an antelope tag! Personally I'm glad to see some of the tags go to the...

PleaseDear, Sent you a PM. Muleydoc

Thanks again for all of the good suggestions and for being willing to share it. Good luck with your hunts. Muleydoc

Doug, Thanks for the information. Even if the Arizona tag is OTC if you harvest a deer in the January season then you wouldn't be able to apply for a deer tag that year? But you could apply and if you don't draw then you could hunt the early season? I appreciate the help and will look into...

I don't usually research hunting opportunities this way but have never hunted coues deer before. I am strictly interested in archery hunting and wondering if anyone would be willing to share information on good quality trophy hunts available in New Mexico. I have maximum bonus points in...

proutdoors, What tags did you get and when will they be auctioned off? Muleydoc

ODDNUT 1, I have been doing the same with my son who is now 12. New Mexico has no age limit but rather they must first pass a hunter safety course. They have a youth hunt for deer that is second to no other state. My son has applied for and successfully received a youth rifle hunt for unit...

JPbucky, My son has the same tag this year. Last year he also had the tag. It was a great hunt for a 11 year old boy on his first big game hunt. My hat is off to the New Mexico game and fish for offering a great opportunity for the youth. We found that the deer were plentiful down low with...

Currently the best pattern would be an Oilfield or Gasfield worker pattern. If you can't find this pattern you might also consider Prairie Ghost as well. Good luck on your hunt! Muleydoc

That sounds like a good alternative. Thanks again for the inf. coonhound. Muleydoc

Thanks for all of the input. Coonhound are you able to manually check your rest when you are concerned about freezing up. For example, I currently shoot a Golden Key 3-D rover and I can manually depress the forks to make sure the rest is working properly. I would assume this is similiar to...

I am considering changing over to a dropaway style rest. I have heard a lot of good things about them. Specifically, it may help with accuracy to a degree. My biggest concern is how they hold up in cold weather/ late season conditions? If any one has experience using them in very cold/wet...

Don, I hope you find several boomers down there. I know Paul is extremely fired up for the season. I hope the season is a great one for you guys. Best of luck! Steve (muleydoc)

Hey Ruttinbull, As you know the tag fairy can be one cruel b#@ch (it is ok for me to piss her off some more at this point since I am on an all time best 0 tags for 6 states applied for this year). But the best part of her cruelty this year is the following. A friend of mine drew his first elk...

For all you Muzzy shooters, I am interested to know if any of you have experimented with the 3 vs. 4 blade models? I have shot the Muzzy 100 3 blade models successfully for several years with a Hoyt Striker using both aluminum and carbon arrows. However, I was getting poor flight with my 2001...

I read most all the posts on this site. However,I don't usually post much. But I must admit this one has stirred up some emotions I have on this subject. KTC, you mentioned that you hoped that SFW would take up this cause. The sad reality is based on the last couple of their newsletters I...
