    Utah Hunting Guide facing charges for canned hunt

    Regardless of the client in this situation (Donald Trump Jr) on the bear hunt and mountain lion hunt. If the guide(Wade Lemon) is found guilty on charges they need to face serious consequence's. Each time a case like this is picked up by the media unfortunately it reflects badly on all law...

    Utah ban on trail cams during hunting season

    Knew this was in the works as there was much discussion and surveys related to this topic over the past few months. I am a little surprised that non transmitting devices were also part of the ban. The ban on devices that transmit to your phone or other devices made sense to me. Lol I cant...

    Proposed change for Utah Elk Tag

    Guess we will have to see if any or what changes are implemented. Or if this is just a plan to get extra money by adding the 10$ or 15$ application fee? https://www.ksl.com/article/50275573/utah-dwr-seeks-to-test-new-elk-hunt-lottery-as-permits-become-harder-to-get-

    Idaho Wolf Bounty Program

    Interesting article with lots of different thoughts from all the different groups involved. I cant imagine a scenario were enough wolves are killed that would require them to be relisted under the endangered species act...

    Wolverine sighting Antelope Park, Ut

    I was very surprised to see this story last week and video of a wolverine on Antelope Island of all places. Would be interesting to see were this wolverine came from and how far it traveled. I remember in 2014 when a wolverine was pictured on a game camera in the Uinta's and the news...

    Nice Bucks poached in Utah. How can we stop poachers?

    Not sure what is going on in my home state with poachers, but it seems there is a major poaching case about every month or so. In this one a really really nice buck and a another buck were both poached and left too waste. This occurred in some fields near a commercial warehouse area. So this...

    More Poachers

    I hate reading these stories every time they come up. I believe some non hunters think poachers are hunters and thus these stories give law abiding hunters everywhere a bad reputation. Here we have somebody driving along finds a young bull moose and shots him with a bow and leaves the meat to...

    Grizzly Bear in Southern Wyoming

    Having lived and graduated from high school in Kemmerer, I found this article pretty interesting. We know the Grizzly population is thriving and they are moving into areas that have not had bears for decades. With all that being said both resident and non-resident hunters in Wyoming will have to...

    Cool story about Bull Elk recovery 6 years after hunt.

    I enjoyed reading this story. In particular how some hunters who did not not know one another helped each other out over a six period. With all the news stories about protest, riots looting and everything else it was nice to read a story about strangers working to help others. Oh and it was a...

    Another Poaching Case

    Every time I read about one of these poaching cases it gets more and more frustrating. Hopefully they are able to find the person or people that did this. https://www.ksl.com/article/46724642/dwr-asks-for-publics-help-in-finding-poachers-who-killed-6-bull-elk-in-summit-county
