I have been tied down with college basketball the last couple years and I am finally free! I have always deer hunted and fished tournaments growing up, but this is the first fall that I have to dedicate to hunting and fishing. I am not asking for anyone's secret spots, but if you have general...

Hi guys, I would like some feedback on my product. I have found that carrying a rifle with a sling gets heavy during long hikes, strapping it away in your backback makes it hard to access your gun, and the backpack frame sometimes restricts you from carrying it comfortably. My product pretty...

Anyone else have a Cache LE Archery, Muzzleloader, or Rifle tag? I have gotten about 20 bulls on camera this year but oddly enough haven't found a single cow. I have tried to locate them as of late but having a rough time. I would love to talk with people that have had these tags, have them...

Hey Y'all, We'll be heading out for the tail end of the archery elk hunt later next week. A buddy of mine has already been out and reported that the elk have been bugling a decent amount. Who else has encountered a decent amount of bugling? Or have you found them to be more like ghosts (It...

I don't think you can be much more of a newbie than I am: first post here, first Utah elk hunt, first muzzleloader season. Planning on heading to the SW Desert unit. Any tips for this beginner?

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has ever elk hunted Montezuma canyon/san Juan? If so was wondering if anyone had any advice for a Novice going to hunt OTC this October? Grew up deer hunting the Midwest which is quite a bit different. Thanks

I was lucky enough to pull an expo tag this year for the San Juan. I’ve been debating on even hunting the opening week or staying home and focusing on the last few weeks towards the rut. Any thoughts? Anyone archery hunted the unit? I would guess I’d have to sit water those first weeks. If...

Been hunting for years but am trying to find a new location to start. We have a few hunters putting in for the LE and will be starting this spring as soon as the snow melts. Really just looking for any tips or starting points on this unit. PM's are welcome thanks in advance.

The archery hunt has only been open for less than a week and it's pre rut, but has anyone heard some vocal bulls yet?

I was posted up on a mid-mountain bench Sunday afternoon, waiting for game to pass through the area, when a cow elk and her calf suddenly appeared 40 yards ahead and closing directly on me, I mean coming RIGHT to me. Worried that they would wind me or present nothing more optimal than a facing...

I have 3 points for antlerless elk. I have been looking at http://www.trophyunit.com/ today to determine draw odds and harvest percentages. I am in the Pleasant Grove area, so I am hoping to stay 1-2 hours driving distance of the unit I plan to hunt. I saw West Heber had good harvest percentage...

Hey guys. New to the threads but have been hunting UT since I moved here for the last three years. Had success 2 seasons ago during rifle spike elk on off Skyline Dr. near Mt. Pleasant. Drew out a cow tag for Nov-Jan. Haven't hunted there this late in the year, and haven't had time to scout due...

Haven't lived in the area in a while and have not had the opportunity to scout in advance. And with the strange weather this year, I'm not sure where to hunt in Asia. A big unit. Can anyone tell me where they have you been seeing them? Email me if you want [email protected] I won't share...

My father and I drew big bull tags for Archery on the Central Manti and have been scouting and hunting our legs off and all we are finding is cows, spikes, and rag horn small bulls. The bulls appear to still be in bachelor groups in our opinions. They aren't talking yet either. We are just not...

I moved down here to Moab about a year ago. My Dad lives in Colorado and we have hunted other parts of Utah all our lives. We both got a General Season Spike tag for the beginning of October and have no clue where to go. I have gone up a few times trying to find some trace of elk but have had...

Hey guys during my pre-season scouting I found several watering holes/wallows the elk were hitting back in June/July. Last night, I was sitting over one of the spots I scouted and heard a freight train coming through the woods. I came to full draw, and unfortunately it was a young cow moose...

I read somewhere that new foliage attracts wildlife. Have any of you had experience hunting elk on land that was hit recently by fire? Seen more elk than normal going after young plants?
