    Region G Mule Deer Hunt - Thoughts?

    A friend and I are looking to do a backpack hunt in Region G during the fall 2015. We have the points to draw the tag, so I'm in the process of compiling information for the upcoming hunt. My wife's family has a reunion each year up the Greys River in the Blind Bull area (visitors always...

    Knight .52 caliber 375-grain "Red Hots"

    Does anyone know if you can get these bullets for Knight's .52 caliber muzzleloader anywhere other than directly from Knight? I've looked around and can't seem to find anything. At $39 for 18 bullet/sabot combinations, it won't take long to break the bank. This is actually my dad's ML that I...

    Utah Central Mtns Manti LE Muzzleloader Elk

    Hey guys - finally drew my UT elk tag after 12 years of applying. I'll be hunting the LE muzzleloader hunt on the Manti unit. This isn't a top tier unit in UT (as many of you know), but I wasn't interested in waiting another 5-10 years in hopes of drawing a top unit. Manti is a solid-to-upper...

    2013 KUIU Icon 5200 & 7000 - Durability Question

    These packs are on sale on Kuiu's site; however, I have heard about issues with the pack fabric durability. The 2014 models are jumping from the current 160D cordura to 500D cordura with only a couple extra ounces difference. of course, the 2014s won't be on sale for a while, and having an...

    2013 WY 48 Antelope

    Here's photos of my 2013 antelope from Unit 48 in WY. This year's hunt was a complete opposite of last year's. The animals were spread out far and wide due to the fact that water was EVERYWHERE. Ended up shooting the buck on the third day at 175 yards in a gale-force wind (it was a constant...

    Wyoming Unit 48 - Expectations

    Hey, just wanting to see what others that may have hunted this unit think expectations should be this year. I spoke to the biologist who said the winter was mild and the summer has been really wet in the Shirley Basin. That said, horns should be better than last year when we hunted 63-2 to the...

    Thoughts on 48?

    Two of us will have a combined 3 points going into the draw this year. We would have liked to hunt 63 again, but the points aren't in our favor - especially if they cut back tags this year. With that reality, I've been looking at Unit 48. I spoke to the bio, and he seemed to think that...

    Thought on WY Units 58, 60, 61, & 68

    Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on these units this year. They have historically been some of the best units in the state according to Eastman's, but with the hard winter last year, I wonder what they are like now. Are they worth burning max points to draw this year, or should they...
