2014 Utah General Muley
Well, my mule deer season didn't go as well as hoped. Myself and two buddies hiked about 6 miles in and 3500' up to a spot that my hunting partner had been into many years before. We had done some scouting in the area and found some great bucks. On our way up we met 3 other hunters in one... -
2014 LE Utah Bull
Well this is a really late post, but better late than never. My hunting partner drew out a LE Utah Bull tag this year, so we were pretty excited. My buddy spent over 17 days chasing elk and I joined him for seven of those days in between family commitments and getting out and harvesting my own... -

Spiiiiiiiike!!
Well, I went hunting and shot a spike elk. Not that I am complaining but it was over to fast. Got to my spot late in the day and after getting my camp set, decided to do a little scouting. I am familiar with the area so it was more just to check where most of the sign was. After about an... -
Hey Antelope Experts
Allright, I need help. I have never hunted antelope before, however, this year I drew a doe tag to wet my whistle. The area I am hunting holds lots of antelope, but they are heavily pressured. It is also extremely flat. My rangefinder, Leupold RX-750, is apparently incapable of ranging any... -
LE Wasatch Bull
Had the pleasure of helping my good friend harvest his LE Wasatch Muzzleloader elk. We got him in an absolute hell hole and it took a long time to get him out. Great 6x7 bull that he shot at 49 yards. Now I need to go shoot my own elk.... -
A ride for Big Fin
I was thinking, if Big Fin ever gets slowed down again, like last year, we may all just have to chip in and get him one of these... :D:D:D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62B2fReyZvk- BiggWimm

The end of an era...
Well gentlemen, on April 16, 2013 at 1237 an era ended. The era of me doing whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. An era of hunting elk for 17 days straight. An era of spending 2 months straight in the AK backcountry. An era of 115 + days fishing each year. A new era has dawned though. The era...- BiggWimm

Got the pontoon out...
It is that time of year when the ice starts coming off, so I got the pontoon out for my first float. It went pretty well with many fish caught, beautiful weather, and good company. Didn't find the big lunker browns I was after but I did catch quite a few bows... Biggest one of the day, for...- BiggWimm

Boo to Scheels
A soldier that I know from another forum described the following interaction at the new Scheels in Utah. I asked him if I could share this on OYOA, his only request was that I didn't use his name. Pretty disappointing treatment of one of our military members that had recently returned from a...- BiggWimm

Dead Elk, Again.
Got out on 1/23 to help my buddy Dave get his cow. For those that are following, Dave was there to help our other buddy get his first elk. I guess Karma was smiling down on Dave. Great time for me as I got to help two buddies harvest 2 elk this week. Only had to put a few miles on the ol'... -
Elementary Shooting
Anyone see this yet. At least 27 dead and at least 10 were kids. Jacked up, makes me sad. http://www.ksl.com/?sid=23382617&nid=157&title=official-27-dead-in-conn-school-shooting-&s_cid=featured-1- BiggWimm

Another wolf down
Saw this article while browsing my local internet news. Found the parts interesting about hunters targeting collared wolves. From the success rates and hunting information that I read on this site about guys hunting wolves, I have trouble believing that. Seems like most people are just happy...- BiggWimm

Mule Deer Pics
Went out looking for mulies since I am done hunting this year. Thought I would get some ruttin' photos. Turns out, I got a couple. I saw an absolute monster in here last year but I didn't have a camera. Haven't found him yet, but hopefully he will show up. Just so you know, this is in an... -
Rifle Deer
This year I hunted for mule deer for the first in many years with a rifle. I now remember why I hunted with a bow for years. After getting shot at twice. Finding a dead buck with one leg blown off, rotting, and then locating three dead does, all shot with a rifle, rotting, even though there... -

Do you hold out?
I recently completed 17 days of archery hunting in a LE unit in Utah. While I saw many bulls, stalked many bulls, and could've shot many smaller bulls, I came home empty. I had a goal to get a 350+ bull due to the nature of it being an LE hunt. My wife is also pregnant with our first child... -
Elk Field Care
Saw a wonderful example of Utah hunters living up to their reputation. While I was driving back from a quick 2.5 day hunt/scouting trip, a truck passed me with a decent bull. The bull was gutted, it's hide still on, and whole in nature. The elk was still strapped to the giant, black sled that...
