111 Archery Elk

[hubba20]

Just when I thought I couldn't get any luckier after drawing my Utah LE archery elk tag last year with just 3 NR points, I go and pull a 111 archery elk tag Must be doing something right I guess! ha

I've spent quite a bit of time in the 114 and 115 areas of this unit and I have seen some BIG bulls, but haven't spent any time in 111-113. To the guys who have experience in the entire unit, would you recommend spending more time scouting in 114 & 115, or would you focus more on the other side of the valley in 111-113? On NDOW it says that the majority of the bulls are killed in 111. I'm not too worried about having problems with other hunters since not many people drew this tag, but the farther I can get away from the crowds, the better.

Planning on scouting a lot come mid-june so just getting an idea of where I should spent a majority of my time!

I killed my bull in 111. Saw lots of bulls just by glassing from off the main roads on the east sides. Cleve Creek North to McCoy creek is where we saw the most.

Congrats on the tag hubba!!! Regardless of what other units might have its hard to beat an area you know well and have seen good bulls in.

I got a feeling my good luck streak will come to an end after this year. At least for a few years... There is always that sheep tag tho I had 7 points this year nvarcher. You'll get it next year hopefully!

Try to draw every year! Im done getting just points in NV. If you apply enough times you will draw something eventually!!!

Hahah ya I know I need to. The wife asked me when the results came out how many sheep points did she have. Ummmm none. I will start trying for now on.

First NV Archery tag, have been saving points up. Heading up to scout for first time in 11-14 this weekend. I figure I'll use a lot og gas and spend a lot of time glassing. I dont mind backpacking in and living out of a pack for some time during the hunt but dont want to get the meat (if lucky) too far from the coolers. I've been following conversations around the web re 11 vs the rest of the area figure the bulls will be where the bulls are and if I'm not around many others there's more chance they'll be less spooked. My question to you boys is more about rut timing and calling. I am going the the last 16 days of the season, is bugling a proven route in thes units or stick to cow calling and glassing? One last thing, has anyone used a cow decoy?
