Nebo 2017 Archery Hunt
Happy Fathers day to all the dad's out there and hello to all. I just drew my first Utah Archery Tag in the Nebo Unit. I've been e-scouting the unit pretty hard and think I've found a couple spots I'd like to hike into and backpack camp/hunt for a few days. I'm not looking for the honey hole, but I was hoping someone who has some experience there could let me know what I'm in for and if buying a spike elk tag is worth the 400$ us non-resident guys spend.
I'm doing a solo back pack hunt. I like getting away from the crowds. I'm a Marine, been hunting Nevada since I was 10 and know my way around the mountian, so I'd like to think I know what I'm doing in the backcountry.
Thanks for any help guys!

A dime a dozen? Now that's funny! But I guess if we go by your definition of LE quality bucks, then maybe you are correct. I've seen your pisscutters that you believed were worth a LE tag. A 4 point buck on a GS unit is by no means impressive. Especially when they are all 140" or smaller. Anyone could kill a 4 point buck with a bow, on the front, if they had 3 months to do it and had someone else do all the scouting for them. It's funny you say elk really aren't your thing, yet here you are, spouting off your valuable opinion on them and advice, when you yourself haven't Had much success at all with them. How about quit jumping into something you don't know much about, throwing your opinions around, when you don't have much experience to back them up with next time? Just because you have 5k posts on here, doesn't mean that they are all worth while. Remember, "Quality. not quantity"Ha ha my sarcastic response for years on this forum has been "there are no big bucks in Utah" I've been against the tag cuts. Lol I could name a few general areas that have LE quality however those bucks are not a dime a dozen on general units like they are on the front and other high end LE units.

The one spouting off without proof is you tall boy. Your a joke hiding behind a screen name! As for someone doing my scouting that's laughable. As for me killing only 140 or smaller bucks that's also laughable. Elk aren't all that hard. I call them land carp for a reason. I doubt ill pull the trigger on anymore cows in the near future way to much work. It takes me at least 5 years before I forget how much work they are and get stupid enough to do it again. I would never shoot a spike! In fact any one could search my alleged 5000 post and see I've been against spike hunting for the last 10 years. Going out shooting one would only make me a hypocrite. No it's big bull or tag soup for me. I don't have to worry about that because I don't buy the tags. You can bet your arse though if I put my mind to killing a big elk on the front it would happen. What can I say I'm pretty successful on the front.A dime a dozen? Now that's funny! But I guess if we go by your definition of LE quality bucks, then maybe you are correct.

I'd like to see your front bulls or bucks big tall boy! Care to post them with your face in them or are you just a coward behind a screen name?

Your kids to blast the first 2 point buck they see! That's hypocritical. And again, I don't hunt the front. I thought we established that. I don't need "archery only" areas, snow, the rut or 3 months to fill my tag with a "LE quality" buck. I can do it within the season dates on my tag and in the area my tag was originally for.
As for the elk... well if it's as easy as you say, I'd expect to see more success from you. So far all I've seen or heard are excuses.
I'm not in to posting pics of my animals online. I can pat my own back, don't need social media likes or comments from others. But I assure you, I have several LE quality bucks and bulls hanging on my wall, that came from GS units. And plenty more that are in the garage.
Sure you have coward! I guess we have to take your word wink wink! Your a liar!
You bring my kids into this. Your also a P*****!

Well, that escalated quickly--probably a good time for a breather---
Tall tines, I hate to break it to ya but you are participating in social media and you are here for some form of self esteem based gratification. We all are bud, it's ok to be honest with ourselves.
You are also patting yourself on the back by bragging and putting others down. Your words have done more than 10 hunting pics on letting us know who you are and about your insecurities. It would have been better for you to just posted the brag pics--at least then you would have been building credibility. Ya see, on the interwebs all one has is verifiable cred, otherwise we are going off your word and faith and this isn't a religious forum so those don't count.
Basically what I am saying is to chill a bit, be nice, and if you want respect then post up stories and pics, you are basically doing the same by bragging in your posts but at least with the former we know you aren't BSing. Embrace the social media bud, because you are here and have already made yourself part of it.

Can you please explain to us how shooting 2 points is any less detrimental to the over all herd health and future trophy quality of our animals, than shooting a spike elk is? Last time i checked, it was the Muleys in this state that struggle with over all numbers. Not the elk. Only reason the elk numbers are low now is because of the tags being issued. I don't believe that is the same reason for such a fragile deer herd. But I could be wrong...Sure you have coward! I guess we have to take your word wink wink! Your a liar!

You can't be mad about people shooting spikes when you support the harvest of younger animals of another species, when both a legal to take by licensed hunters
I won't answer another of your questions until you show your face! Coward!

Anyways, you have yourself a great day Scott. May all your arrows fly true this fall at the 2 points and land carp. I'll be looking forward to success pics
The reason you wont say who you are is because you would be publicly exposed to to fraud, fake, liar that you are. If you are everything you say you are then make me eat crow! As it is right now your 25 worthless post on this forum have only been about harassing me. You seem to be a jealous little stalker of a man!

And again, calling me names is surely against forum rules. Call down mr. Witherspoon. This is the Internet. Not real life. You know that better than anyone
