    2020 Big Game Application Book is On Line

    https://wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks/2020_biggameapp.pdf A couple of the big changes are loosing points if you purchase a tag that was only available in the draw OTC and surrendering a tag before the season starts. That and a new 5 year waiting period on deer instead of the 2 years. However...

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    If you are carrying a balance on your CC because of a animal tag you are a fool. I watch forums all the time when on post pay applications they use a debit card and when the draw happens the card is rejected because of not enough funds on it.

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    It just goes to show that if you can't afford to put in for the draw then don't. Colorado required the money up front for many years with the application period being around the first of April. Then the draw wasn't until June so it was close to 2 1/2 months of having the money tied up at the...

    Class

    Usually when someone says that they saw a 170 class deer means that they saw one that would score around 150. As for a "170" class deer he could go anywhere from 160-180 in my book. Judging a deer without a tape measure on him is rough even for the experts.

    Northern BC Moose for 2021

    I asked the same question a while ago and got a few responses. https://forum.eastmans.com/threads/shoshone-wilderness-adventures-question.19640/ I have been watching them for a cancellation hunt where I can get it for quite a bit cheaper than a actual booked hunt cost. But then I'm retired...

    Finally...HS Internet!

    Where I am at with Century Link the DSL service is good but when I start streaming movies or TV shows it goes to pieces quite often. I have found that if my server is anywhere besides Eagle County is when it happens the most, and Delores is one of the locations where it happens. By the way the...

    It's their party and they want to show that they are fair and honest I like how they keep bringing up the constitution and how they are going by it. We need to remind them the next time that they try to go around the 2nd Amendment with their gibberish

    A little different

    Glad to see ya back I was wondering what had happened to you. Nothing wrong with using a golf cart to get you to where you need to go either.

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    It does make it a little bit more problematic when you are talking about folks that have a day or two or more drive to get out west here. I know that on most of my out of state hunts I figure in at least driving time plus a day if I can. Even on my hunts in Arizona I try to get there a full...

    Fishing at Blue Mesa Res

    And here I thought that you were headed there for a ice fishing journey. I've been there in the winter but not summer, good luck.

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    I forgot that people actually work that are members on the forum here. (y) Back in my working days I would make a decision on where I wanted to hunt in November the year prior, this is when the vacation scheduled would make it's rounds. I would then put in for the hunts that I wanted to go one...

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    They are not doing anything different that Colorado and Utah are doing. Except that those states are now post pay but you still don't know if you have drawn until the end of May or into June. You can also do like a lot do. Put in for a lot of states and animals and then after the draws and if...

    In some areas that might be considered baiting.

    Another Poacher,,,

    When social media showed up it just allows the poacher a platform to brag of his so called hunting skills to post his trophy pictures. I do doubt that it is any worse now than it had been before social media. It just gives the authorities a easy platform to find them. It is a lot like when...

    Can’t make this stuff up..

    All I can say is that I am glad that there were no portable video recorders or the internet when I was in my teens and twenties. It has been long enough ago that the statute of limitations has ran out but one late afternoon we were driving on a dirt road in the hills and spotted a 2pt buck...

    Another Poacher,,,

    By there very nature they are going to poach no matter what the fine is. I and others believe that they need to start giving them some good jail time. But they won't do that due to the fact that it isn't a crime against people along with the fact that our jails are overcrowded now. Look at...
