    Late August Elk rut activity and strategy

    Hey guys, I drew an archery elk tag for units 061 and 071. I am curious what kind of activity I can see in the last ten days or so of the month. I realize the rut probably won't really be on but maybe bulls will be breaking up and kind of keeping tabs on cows and starting a bugle a bit? Also...

    Shockey on Rogans podcast

    Occasionally Joe Rogan has hunters on his podcast i.e. Steve Rinella, Cam Hanes, Remi Warren, and Tim Burnett. I really enjoy these podcasts and he had Jim Shockey on recently and it was a fantastic listen. I always knew Shockey was extremely knowledgeable and he has a ton of information on...

    Easton FMJ or Axis opinions

    I was reading through some posts about arrows because I have thinking lately about trying out some new arrows. I currently shoot Axis arrows but for some reason the FMJ's are calling my name, I cant put my finger on why. Another issue is I feel that I am right on the edge of the 400 or 340...

    Unit 30 Pine Valley Mule deer

    I have two points in Utah for mule deer and I'm pretty sure I'll draw this tag next year if I apply. I have heard from a guy who hunts the area in muzzle loader season that it is a waste of time to hunt the rifle season in this unit because there is so many people. I'm just curious if this is...
