This time of year Hunt Talk desperately needs hunting stories, because the other threads are going off the rails haha.
So, here goes my third year of recaps.
I stuck it here because it includes a Rocky Mountain bighorn and a Desert bighorn.
I didn't draw as many tags as some years, but got...
Let's get this party of disappointment started early this year.
What you in for?
I'm in for the sheeps, the goat and the wapiti.
I expect nothing but red, but I would be happy if NM would take my money for once.
We had a good hunt with the hounds last weekend.
My daughter turned ten (and thus legal for big game) towards the latter part of January. About a week and a half before her birthday, I treed an older tom in a backcountry area only accessible by foot. Granted, mature toms travel a lot, but I did...
The Hawaii Supreme Court also quoted "The Wire" in the court ruling.

There is quite a bit to unpack from this article. Interesting developments for sure.

A few of my thoughts:
1. How is this actual news?
2. The daughter is a biznatch.
3. They have a picture of a GSP and call it a GWP. C'mon on, man!
4. It is interesting the daughter...
Should be in a couple weeks or so for S/G/M results.
Until then, what are you in for?
What have you killed?
Photos?
Let's pass the time until the Idaho gut-punch.
Let's get it going.
Who is in?
What animals have you drawn previously?
Where you at in points?
Maybe even post some photos of stuff you've killed in Utah to get everyone excited.
It appears @Khunter @Greenhorn and @Steve O, among others, may all be sitting pretty for elk tags. Looking...
Now that the application deadline has passed, let's get a thread going.
Who's in, and where you at on points?
I put in for a little higher quality, lower odds hunts than usual. Sheep 3-17, goat 3-7.
Good luck to all.
Possibly Wednesday, but we'll see. Good luck.
I just can't wait to hear about all of the people who draw tags that got in after the deadline was extended.
I thought I’d do a year in review, as 2022 was a good year of hunting. I did a 2021 thread, and it was kind of fun.
There is a moose and bighorn involved, so I stuck it here.
January – A friend from out of town drew a non-res hound permit. He had a dog he wanted to work, so he came out to run...

I thought the moose antler was a nice touch.
