    Hunting near Salt Lake

    Thanks Jim. That's a start. So it would be best for him to start grabbing a point this year to begin with?

    Hunting near Salt Lake

    So, just finished up touring U of Utah, my son is 100% committed to going. Now, I know it will take some figuring out in the big game book, but in general, are there places around where he can get an "over the counter" Tag for elk or deer, or get a tag with no points, whatever they call it in...

    Private land for older/Mobility Impaired?

    Hey everyone, recently talking to my Dad and hes brought up wanting to try an elk hunt sometime. I think he's half joking, given that he's 76, has mobility issues, etc, but I also thought maybe there are private land places that are guaranteed tags and cater to that kind of client. So, does...

    Trophy Hunting...

    I think it means different things to different people. I grew up hunting in Vermont, where Whitetail success was about 10-12%, so unless you had your own large property, and multiple deer to choose from, you shot the first legal buck. And that was all the "trpphy" I needed. But, if you're...

    CO Point Creep in 2021? You Bet!!

    I am not totally sure how to read the tables, but it looks like everyone with 1 point that applied as a Non-Resident got a tag last year, and thats the cutoff. I have 2 points, so hopefully good.

    CO Point Creep in 2021? You Bet!!

    So you think a unit where 1-2 points drew last year, will 2 have a chance this year? Possible? At least give me some hope...….LOL

    When did you kill your first deer?

    1992, whitetail 6 pt. in Vermont. 11 yards, sitting on the ground, and got bit by the scope when I shot. Didn't care...… ;)

    CO Point Creep in 2021? You Bet!!

    I'm just curious, does point creep usually affect units across the board, or only the better units where you start getting over 5-6 points? I am planning my fall trip to CO or a combo deer/elk hunt this fall, and nervous I won't get a tag. I am targeting a unit that pretty much is guaranteed...

    Daughter holds the biggest buck in the household

    I've been here, just sort of a slow couple of years. Didnt get back to Vermont due to the virus this year, so no hunting there. And only got out a few times here with not much to show for it.
