    Not Sitting At Home

    Now to finish the story. After two days of fog, rain, snow, and wind I was sitting in my spot this morning waiting for the fog to lift. Once it did the sun was out and drying things out quite quickly. The morning passed without seeing anything except for the birds that were getting quite...

    Proposed change for Utah Elk Tag

    In my opinion Utah has to do something. For those that don't know Utah allocates their elk tags this way: 15,000 spike only tags 15,000 any bull tags. Both the spike and any bull tags are totally separate and are separate units. The any bull tags are mostly up in the north east corner in...

    Investments - what has served you well?

    While college plans sound nice and you get to defer the taxes on them I would still look at a good mutual fund to put the money into for the kids education. This is where a good financial planner can do all kinds of things for you along with setting things up for yours and your kids future.

    Investments - what has served you well?

    The best thing to do is to find a financial advisor and go have a talk with him. Let him know where you want to be in xx more years. They will do a risk management survey with you to see just what you need to do to get to where you want to be in that time frame. I started investing in a...

    Not Sitting At Home

    I sat around until dark and saw a few does that were with this buck and some cow elk a long ways off but that was it. So now with this buck I know where he lives and am sure that he was up there all summer long. The only humans that might of even bothered him were folks in the side by sides...

    Not Sitting At Home

    Well, the other day I decided that I wasn't going to sit at home while everyone else was out chasing animals so without a deer tag that never showed up for me in the draw I headed down to the local store to pick up a bull elk tag and go sit in my spot to see what might wander past. Well, after...

    To eat or not eat CDW positive tested deer

    Most agencies will now confiscate the meat and depending on what state and what you want to do either issue you a new tag for the same year and area or give you a tag for the next year.

    What did you learn this year?

    Just the other day I sent off a email to my safari outfitter in South African and mentioned that I am getting older and that I don't move as fast as I used to. I got a email back thanking me for letting them know and that they would plan accordingly. They also mentioned that so many hunters...

    To eat or not eat CDW positive tested deer

    Saying that CWD is similar to mad cow disease is about like saying that the common cold is similar to Covid. In all the years that the DWR's have been reporting about CWD I have not read one thing about it being passed on to humans. Every publication that I have seen says that there are also...
