    Utah Antelope

    Umm...I live in Utah and other than an occasional doe tag, I apply for Wyoming and NV (might toss in NM every once and awhile). if you are apply to Utah as a non res you should be apply for deer, elk and whatever once in a lifetime hunt. I would not pay for a license to apply just for pronghorn.

    Buying my 1st muzzleloader: input wanted

    Cheap a CVA wolf is nice and will get you out to 250. I have one as a backup/loaner. It’s lite. Wanting something longer range the CVA paramount with BH209 seems to be one of the better options from a factory. I have a custom 458 smokeless that I typically run BH209 in for hunting.

    Now go to the Berger 156 gr in the 6.5 PRC. better on wind and more energy on target.

    I was about to pick up a high country and say the new ultralight. Probably going to get the ultralight MSRP is $1500 and guessing you will be able to find it for 1200-1300 once they are out.

    CO bowhunting changes on the way

    Thanks, hoping that two of us can draw the unit I planned to hunt 1st choice no points. I already took 15 days of leave so if we don’t draw, I guess I will be part of the over crowding on other OTC units.

    Anyone have any locations to look for huntable pronghorn on the Paunsaugunt (preferably the West side of the unit)? I am thinking about applying for Doe pronghorn there this year.
