Thanks Brian!!
My work takes me all over that country you have mentioned. I will tell you this, I find elk and deer in places I am not used to finding them. I'm used to hunting the thick pines and quakies of the High Uintahs in Utah. Hunting tall sage is a whole different world to me. I seen 6 bulls in Unit 3 (just barely on the border of 2) the smallest one was a 310 class and the biggest one was proably a 330-340 class 6x7!! I really wish I would of choose to bow hunt this year, I think it would be possible to get on those ones, I have seen them 4 times in the past week or so. But I choose to rifle hunt this year so I could see how all the hunts go, and how it affects the areas. I hope there is some logic to my thinking? LOL
My wife has never hunted any big game, she has just been bird hunting and loved it!! This will be her first year as well as my boys. What the wife really wants more than anything is a buck antelope to have mounted. Do you or anybody else know of a landowner tag that may be available? We are not rich and can't afford alot for a speed goat tag, but we are good honest people that are respectful of people and property!!
And as far as me and the boys go, as long as the animals aren't to messed up with all the different hunts around here, I think we will do just fine, hopefully!! Are there any trespass permits that aren't to expensive for deer and elk in this area? I would be willing to help anybody out there with anything they may need in exchange for the right for my boys to hunt their land. They are 12 and 14. And really good kids!!
Good luck to you and everyone else this year!!!
Work to hunt!! Live to hunt!! And the rest spent keeping the wife happy!!
