As I get ready to spend my non-res Wyoming elk points, I wanted to understand each area's point creep rate over time so I know if I have a realistic shot of drawing (based on history). If a unit's point creep rate is growing at pace greater than or equal to my accrual of 1 point per year, I...

I am curious if the extremely low success rate this year will finally push the wy game and fish into putting a quota on resident tags for region G... https://wyofile.com/western-wyomings-big-buck-country-country-sees-slowest-hunt-in-30-years/

I was at Sportsman's Warehouse tonight and they had a whole shelf full of BH 209 powder for $79. 99 per 8 oz bottle. I guess that is not too bad if you already spent $6000 on your best of the west / gun works long range muzzleloader.

How was the opening weekend of the spring bear hunt? I was driving Highway 6 over the weekend and was stunned at how much snow is still on the Nebo unit. Glad I did not draw my bear tag this year. It got me thinking...How do bears survive the huge snow pack so late in the season? Do they know...

Looks like the IT guy messed up and sent me an early email that should have been a test. The website says emails will go out on Friday. I just got an email with subject line below "TEST UDWR 2023 Black Bear and Cougar Draw - Results" This is the worst part...

Nine months from now you can be packing out an elk or changing diapers. Which do you choose?

Midway USA has Remington Ultimate Muzzleloader primers in stock for the first time in about a year. Get'em while they last... https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1016764695?pid=344736

My 18 yr old boy and I are possibly looking for an excuse to get out and ride our horses this winter to keep them in shape and no better place than the Henry's chasing buffalo. We hunted late season cows in 2020 and had an absolute blast. If our schedules line up, we would drive down from...

My oldest boy took advantage of his last year to participate in the youth mentor program and was successful on a great bull elk. This is the first time I have hunted elk during the muzzleloader dates. Normally I have had good success calling but on this hunt the hoochi mama did me dirty...

My 15 year old boy drew a summer bait Bear tag for the nebo unit. I have hunted bears a few times with dogs but this was our first time using bait. The first 3 weeks of the hunt was a huge learning curve. The site we focused on was a 2.5 mile hike from the nearest road with 4,000 feet of...

Anybody have a successful Utah bear app tag fee hit their CC yet? I would guess successful applications would have their CC hit in the next day or two. The official email results will be sent out next Wednesday 3/2.

I was at Sportsman's Warehouse tonight and found this gem. Nearly $70 for one box of 12ga shot shells. This has to be the peak! Who is to blame? Players in the supply chain, manufacturers, retailers, ammo hoarders... It is terrible knowing that the real labor/boots on the ground that...

Anybody notice the new antlerless elk hunt type "Conservation". Seems like since the RMEF and SCI are locked out of the Expo tag grab, the UT DWR had to throw them a bone. I have looked through the anterless guide book but can't find any more details on how to obtain one of these...

Congrats on 20 years and cheers to another 20. However, 1999 called and wants it's website back. Founder you should consider a project to overhaul the website to a more current platform that makes it easier to post pictures/video, links to social media, comment voting buttons, mobile friendly...

Boom. Looks like I will be hunting big bulls on the Wasatch this fall. Sometimes it is better to lucky than good. Anybody else have their CC hit today?

Sweet. Now I don't need all that pre-season practice. I can show up opening morning and be ready for a 100 yard shot...

I have 8 elk preference points to burn in next year's draw. I am leaning towards unit 38 in the Big Horn mountains. I have horses that I plan to use. Looking for feedback/thoughts on this unit? TIA

I am as giddy for the shed hunt opener as my kids are for christmas. I have it all planned out and can't wait. I have been watching a bachelor hurd of bulls for the past several weeks. They have been dropping horns about a week or so ago. I did some "pre-scouting" hiking and marked several...

I have 7 NR elk preference points for Wyoming. Looking for opinions/suggestions/advice on which unit I should put in for. I have not done any elk hunting in wy. Mostly antelope in 99/95 and region G deer I would be happy with a 350 class bull. I live in Utah and have all options available...

I was driving down main street today and traffic came to a halt with this monster 200+ inch non-typical buck standing 30 yards from the road. If this guys happens to wander though my backyard, we may have a Houdini act ;)

I was about to sit down for dinner tonight when I noticed these 2 bucks walk through my yard. I had just enough time to get my camera out and take a photo as they walked down the street like the own the place. I know I can't discharge a firearm in city limits but can I trap this guy with a...

My buddy and I are planning to do some serious coyote hunting this fall. Are there any buyers in the Salt Lake Valley who will pay money for the pelt. I have herd of some people possibly selling them for $50. If true that would be $100 per dog when you include the DWR bounty.

Is is considered wanton destruction of wildlife if you feed all the meat of a deer or elk to your dog? I would guess there are some guys out there that like to hunt but don't like the taste of game meat and having 100 to 200 lbs of ground meat mixed in with your dog's food would really go a...

I have a G5 Optix LE .019 5 fixed pin sight. I have run out of adjustment space on my 40 yard pin. The housing is moved to the end of the threads and the 40 yard pin is in its max position and I am still 5-6 inches high at 40 yards. I don't have any move adjustment space on my 40 yard pin. I...

Last spring I thought it would be fun to put in for a late season cow elk hunt. I didn't know which area I should put in for so I put the map on the wall and threw a dart. I drew a tag for an area that I have never scouted, hunted or drive by before. I have looked the unit over on google...

Do we have any gamers in the house! If so, you have got to check out this game. http://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption/videos This is the best western game produced to date. Finally a big time studio has given the western genre some serious love. The graphics and game play are the...

I wanted to start a thread where we can post information regarding hunting/fishing bills in the 2010 Utah legislative sessions. The Utah Legislature has one of the best websites in the country for posting timely information during the legislative session. House Bill HB0031 would make it easier...

I am thinking of buying a hand gun advertised on KSL.com. What is the process to make sure I am not buying a stolen gun and how do I register it in my name after the sale?

I got an email forward today with pics of a monster buck killed on I-80 up Parley's canyon. I would have loved to run into the bruser during the extened hunt.

After one day in to the hunt, Washington Fish and Game canceled a late season archery Elk hunt that was too hot for the yuppies to handle. It is to bad the Fish and Game folded to the pressure. I don't see this as unethical. This was a designed meat hunt to help the ranchers and city...

Can anyone find me the number for Life Flight Search and Rescue. I am going to add them to speed dial on my cell phone, so the next time I am too tired to hike out I can call them for a lift. Think of all the places you could hunt if you knew you only had to go one way and not consider a round...

For you tech lovers... My buddy and I wanted to be able to have access to comprehensive ballistics data in the field. So we searched the Internet for hand held devises that would calculate ballistics charts on the fly in the field. We found an app for the iPhone/iPod Touch that is being used by...

There is a rally for the good guys this weekend in down town Salt Lake City. They are protesting the federal government locking up lands in Utah. They are going to allow all kinds of ATVs and OHVs to ride down main street. This is one event all that sportsmen and sportswomen need to get...

I hope those of you planning to hunt archery bucks in Utah have already bought your tag becuase they sold out yesterday. The Utah DWR has really created a great product with the Archery deer permits. I remember last year they sold out 2 weeks before the opener and thier were a lot of pissed...
