Happens quite often in Utah while the spike only hunt is going on.
But they sure are fun to watch. I actually got yelled at one year while I was watching big bulls with a spike tag in my pocket
A few years ago I watched a rock for 3 or 4 hours just knowing that it had to be a elk. It never moved and when it was time to leave I radioed my partner to pick me up at a different place, I was going to hike over to that rock.
Once I got there I found that it was indeed a elk, a dead one...
From what I understand for those 18+ the course is just around 15 minutes on line and is free.
But speaking of Moab you need to check out Trail Mater on YouTube. It is interesting the situations folks get themselves into. Also Matts Offroad Recovery is another one that I have been following...
I had a outfitter friend who said that he hated to see a client show up with a Swarvoski scope on his rifle. He said that they make fantastic optics but their scopes leave a lot to be desired in the sturdiness department. He had seen too many of them take unrepeatable damage while hunting in...
With higher price optics you also get better clarity.
I remember one hunting trip when my nephew looked through my Leopold that was on my. 340 Weatherby at a elk. He proclaimed that he could see the elk better through the scope than he could through his binoculars which were Vortex.
He took...
It's not a 300 Win mag but my .340 Weatherby has had a Leopold VX III on it for every shot. Two trips to Africa, and thousands of miles bouncing around in a truck and ATV. It has the same zero as it had once I sighted it in many years ago.
I keep thinking of picking up a couple but then I don't shoot the ones that I have now. That along with the problem that the nearest gun store with any inventory is 100 miles away, at least ones that won't give you the shaft when you buy one. Then there is the Colorado back ground check where...
That looks like the kind of deer that you would expect from out there.
On the amount of points that it takes, there are a number of LE deer hunts in Utah that really don't have the potential for 180+ bucks. They have the 160-170 class and will turn up a larger one but don't expect it. The...
There is some nice heavy mass on that buck.
I only wished that I had started hunting coues deer back when I was younger instead of when I was in my 60's.
Thanks for the report. I'm sitting here waiting for the spring draw which should happen in a week or so.
