    Utah Bill To Limit Compensation Locating Animals

    This law is following right along with the trail camera law that they are working on. There is actually a Utah Wildlife Board meeting today that starts at 10 am MST on the trail camera subject. Austad paid $170,000 for the Governors tag to hunt this year long hunt. I am sure that Doyal Moss...

    What Is Your Go To Hunting Knife?

    Kind of hard to pack that butcher out into the hills to take care of your deer or elk. Now there are some who will clean your animal for you but then you have another problem of getting a whole deer or elk to them to get it cleaned.

    Utah Bill To Limit Compensation Locating Animals

    There is a lot of difference between the spider bull thing and a family and friend helping out a hunter. The spider bull had a bounty placed on him, the first that found him and reported back to the outfitter and kept a eye on him got a tidy sum. Where mostly friends and family are just out...

    Utah Bill To Limit Compensation Locating Animals

    No harder than any of the other laws on the books. They would depend on people reporting it, and when big bucks $$$$ are involved someone would be mad if someone else got it before they did and odds are they may report it.

    Utah Bill To Limit Compensation Locating Animals

    What they are trying to get away from in my understanding is paying folks finder fees when they spot a large animal and then call the guide. The spider bull was killed this way, there was a bounty out on him for whoever spotted him first and told the guide where he was hanging out at.

    What is everyone up to?

    Just getting my stuff in order for my safari to South Africa this June. I like to have everything ready a few months ahead of time just incase something happens. I can just deal with the problem instead of all the other things along with the problem

    2022 AZ Javelina

    It's just a fun and addictive hunt to do in the spring of the year. Too bad that you didn't get into them this year, when the wind is blowing you need to find hidden draws where they can get out of it, they also don't like to move very much when it is blowing.

    Utah: Ethics Course Required For Shed Hunting

    Those that I know that chase lions with dogs train their dogs to leave other animals along and just go after the lions. The deer may run off some if they pass through a bunch but they are not chased.

    How much is too much?

    I'm planning right now just a shoulder mount on the warthog and euros on what else I might bring back. I already have the kudu, gemsbuck, impala, and springbuck and am running out of room. Right now I am debating on having the mounts done in South Africa or back here in the US. Shipping rates...

    Utah: Ethics Course Required For Shed Hunting

    I know of one that was prosecuted here in Colorado, I reported them and told the officers that I would testify. I have also seen it reported every year, I don't follow them because I am not involved in them.

    Poaching, why is it acceptable on predators, but not on ungulates?

    Are there seasons and tags required for the predators? There are set season and tags that need to be purchased for the ungulates. Anything outside of those seasons and if you don't have a tag for that season and ungulate then it is considered poaching. In most areas all you need for a...

    And how many of them will chase a buck or bull hoping that the antlers will drop off?

    6.5-300 Weatherby

    I have a .340 Weatherby and without the brake on it I can only take around 10 shots with it and I am then done from the bench. However, I have never felt the recoil of that rifle when hunting, and I never hunt with the brake installed.

    How much is too much?

    From what I have seen over on a different forum there never was a outright ban for US citizens to travel there and back. Hunters have been jumping through the hoops for the last 3 years to go hunt. My main animal will be a warthog since I didn't get one on my first trip and I wanted one...
