That will be a COLD hunt. I had a friend that made a mistake on his entry and got a Dec tag a couple of years ago. It was bitter cold in that canyon the first week of Dec. We rode horses in and it was pretty brutal. Snow was 2 foot deep and had a very thick crust. Almost impossible for the horses to...

The area I hunt has a few resident elk all summer. We have harvested a few nice bulls during the LE hunts in September. But the canyon really fills up with elk in October. By late October during the deer hunt, I frequently see 200-400 elk per day as large herds have moved into the area. The area I h...

I've shot 7 elk with my 270 WSM, It works just fine. A friend of mine took a 270WSM to Alaska and shot a moose. Again it worked just fine. You can share brass with your husband. Load it like a 270WCF for deer/antelope, Load it up to max for Magnum performance when hunting the bigger animals. I still...

My buddy drew the Rocky Mountain Sheep tag from the Expo.
Looks like I get to go sheep hunting again this fall.

I told him, he better put in Somebody has to draw.

Stopped in today. Big show. Not too crowded today.

NH Hunter, I relate to that comment. Last fall after 17 days in the desert looking for a Bighorn Ram, and passing on smaller rams. My wife told me. "Just kill the Beast"

Not only was the season winding down, by my wifes patience had expired.

I've been looking at this myself, Trying to decide which unit to put in for. I've been putting in for the San Juan. Looking at last years draw, Even max point ( which was 14 last year and will be 15 this year) The San Juan was a 1:3.2 for the regular hunt and 1:8 for the Premium. So even having max ...

The penalty just isn't stiff enough. Many people will pay $8000 to hunt a trophy elk. Go to any of the Banquets this spring and see what Trophy Bull elk tags sell for. A lot of them will be $15,000. So why should 3 poachers have to split $8000 between them for breaking the law on something that a wi...

I was hunting the San Rafael Swell area of Central Utah. I-70 crosses thru the swell just about the middle.
