    Son's first bull (UT)

    Well, a year ago, I wrote a post about my son's process and journey with getting his first big game animal when he shot his general deer during the youth early season. When we were looking at our hunting plans for this year, my son was all in on elk. He told me to get him a point for deer, but...

    2023 UT Muzzleloader Buck

    It was one of the best 1 day hunts I've had. My wife is 8 months pregnant, so she was pretty worried about me being gone for to long. I had plans to hunt through the weekend if needed, but if an opportunity at a quality buck presented itself, I was not going to hesitate. The morning started...

    Pack cleaning

    How often do you wash your pack? After every kill that you pack out or only if it has a lot of blood? For the cow elk that I packed out last weekend, I put inside my Mystery Ranch Metcalf, but used a large trash bag to reduce the amount of blood that got on/in my pack. I ended up with some...

    Tomorrow starts our 2023 season

    Well, the truck is loaded, bags are packed, and.......I'm not going to be able to sleep. Tomorrow morning, my 14yo son and I will hit the road and drive 7 hours to our unit in Wyoming. It's a cow elk hunt and both of us have tags. The season actually opened for this area in mid August and runs...

    Boot Inserts?

    So, I have had a pair of Asolo boots for the past 3 years. They fit me well and have been good boots for me over that time. The outside of the boots are still in pretty good condition, they grip well, and still provide good ankle support (which is a must in a boot for me with past sports...

    Son's first deer

    It's been a couple of years coming. My son loves the outdoors and loves going on hunts. However, he hasn't been able to claim his first big game animal, let alone his first deer. This year, he has had a whitetail doe tag in WY and a buck tag here in the Kamas unit of UT. We went up to WY in...

    Southern UT Muzzleloader

    I will post this in several posts to tell the story, as I have really enjoyed reading through others stories of hunts. My journey to this week actually started over a year ago. In 2021, I drew my first mule deer tag. It was a general season rifle tag for a southern UT unit. I went down in July...

    Pack Adjustment

    I owned a Kelty Tioga pack for close to 14 years. It finally wore out this last season. So, I started down the path of looking at packs. I researched for months and finally settled on the MR Metcalf. I love the pack so far. I have only taken it out a couple of times, but it seems WAY more...

    Powder for 175 gr Sierra Gameking 7mm mag

    I did a search and didn't find anything specific to this question. I recently inherited my FIL's Savage 110 SS in 7mm mag. He also gifted me his dies, some cases, and about 200 175 gr Sierra Gamekings for it. I have used Gamekings in my .30-06, .223, and 7mm-08 and they shoot great in all of...

    Lucky First Elk

    Well, for a Texas boy that moved out west not long ago, and had never done the western hunting thing, I really did not expect to find success in my first year hunting. I had put in for tags in UT and WY and didn't get drawn for anything that I put in for (elk, deer, antelope). So, I started...

    Non-Resident first timer question

    My family and I moved to UT in late April of this year from TX. Western hunting is new, as I have spent my entire life hunting in TX. Since we moved here so late, I could not get tags in UT as a resident. I put in for the non-resident anterless draw for antelope, deer, and elk. I also put in...

    Kelty Tioga

    Hi Guys. My family is making the move out to Utah this next May, and I am slowly working on gathering gear that I will need for the vastly different hunting and camping that I will be doing out there, rather than in Texas. I have had a Kelty Tioga that I have used a little for backpacking...

    Texan moving to Utah

    Hello Everyone, I am a born and raised Texan and 35 years old. I have been hunting whitetails and wild hogs since I was a sophomore in high school. I love hunting. However, I don't need to tell you guys that hunting whitetails in TX is a completely different activity than hunting big game in...
