    Hunt utah

    He mentions in the episode how it was a "turned back" tag and he got a call from the Utah Fish and Game.

    Hunt utah

    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...

    2009 to 2014 F150's

    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...

    Nikon ends "No Fault Warranty"

    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...

    HT gun experts - Am I missing something on this Weatherby?

    I really appreciate everyone's comments it helped me to pass on the opportunity. I learned a lot of the last couple of days.

    South Slope Uintas

    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.

    South Slope Uintas

    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...

    HT gun experts - Am I missing something on this Weatherby?

    Gents, thanks for your help. You have confirmed some things I thought. I still haven’t made a decision but I’m a lot closer.

    HT gun experts - Am I missing something on this Weatherby?

    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...

    Two blade or three

    Cody Rich had a really good podcast last year on 2 vs 3 blades. I learned a lot. https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-rich-outdoors/ep-257-post-wedding-wapiti-_Kpm6q-YMvj/

    Where does all the rifle BS come from?

    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.

    Family Vehicle

    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...

    Leupold vs. Vortex Warranty work

    @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...

    Quick thoughts on non resident random draw

    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.

    On the cheap?

    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...

    elk nut app vs elk 101

    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...
