I believe he is still in the "penalty box" in Utah because he drew less than 5 years ago. OTC and limited entry do not affect each other in Utah. I would also like to see an episode of him hunting OTC in Utah but its pretty easy for him to pull better tags elsewhere. Since moving from Utah I...
I have a 2011 ecoboost that has 140k of hard use and it has been great. They have a tendency to kill spark plugs and I recently had to replace the control arms (rock auto has awesome prices). It's super roomy and quiet. I want to try a new Nissan but I have enjoyed my ecoboost so much it will be...
I always find these statements funny. I don't care if you buy the alpha optics or "mid-tier", if you are active and use them regularly you will use the warranty. I know people that have sent back Swaros and Ziess. As far as Nikon is concerned, they arent the easiest to deal with but I did just...
If there is a requirement to stay on the trail no one follows it. Rifle season will be VERY crowded, but it will thin out some as the hunt drags on. Where are you traveling from? Shoot me a PM.
I have hunted the south slope for years that this couldnt not be more true for the area above Roosevelt. I have had SOOOOO many stalks messed up because of idiots on horses in that area. You can sit on a ridge glassing and all of a sudden you will see animals take off, leaving you to wonder what...
I haven’t been a student of Weatherbys and came across what appears to be a pretty good deal and would really appreciate a little help. Tonight I found an older used 300 Weatherby Mark V with a Zeiss classic Diavari scope for $650. The stock shows some wear, but is still in pretty good...
Cody Rich had a really good podcast last year on 2 vs 3 blades. I learned a lot.

I find this interesting when considering the survey on HT from a couple of years ago when we determined that the average distance HTers have killed elk was between 50 and 100 yards. It sounds like you have an interesting and challenging situation.
here is an out of the box option for you. A 4WD Ford Transit. We ride enough motocross that I have been dreaming of one for a while and finally pulled the trigger last year on the purchase and finished the 4wd conversion on March. I also have 4 kids and its more room than we will ever use, but...
@GearJunky
My experience is somewhat similar to yours, except I managed to damage a vortex scope and a Leupold scope in the same season. So, I sent both in within a day of each other. My experience with Vortex was similar to yours. They emailed me when it was received and emailed me when it...
I'd be surprised if he wasnt splitting with friends. I'm in that same space. I'm tired of the Wyoming points game and willing to take a lower tier tag and go with my brother than waiting years to maybe pull a better tag.
Great advice here. I would also add that you can save a lot of money on boots if you know what you are looking for. If you are hunting for pronghorn there is no reason to go for $300 pair of (pick the brand). You will want a pair of vented (forget waterproof membranes they will not move enough...
I had a membership to Elk101 a couple of years ago and own the Elknut app. They are VERY different tools. Elk101 has everything under the sun when it comes to elk hunting (applications strategy, e-scouting, gear, hunting tactics, set up, elk behaviors...) where the Elknut app is about Paul...
