Try looking around on the Utah Wildlife Forum, its the most active Utah specific forum.
If you join and participate, and then after awhile make a post looking for help with your upcoming hunt, there is a good chance you'll get some good info.
You can also let me know where your hunt will be...
If you want to make a joke go ahead, but I'm serious.
I drew a deer tag in the Rubies, I went to scout this past weekend, and I saw beaver ponds in Lamoille Canyon in that mountain range, and that got me curious about beaver hunting.
So I asked an AI chatbot about it, and the chatbot was...
I was extremely disappointed with ChatGPT when I tried to use it for researching where to apply for tags this year, it gave me a lot of completely wrong information.
As of now, GoHunt is still worth the $99 or whatever over the free chatbots as far as I can tell.
Edited to add: I won three...
Drew my first ever tag in Colorado, its a muzzle-loader doe lope tag in GMU 15, 26, 231.
Talked to someone at CPW about where to find lope in the area, and they were helpful and they also recommended I pick up a leftover bear tag, allegedly there is a huge overpopulation of bears in units...
Pardon my ignorance, but I have an older Tikka T3X in 30-06 that is not a lite, just a Tikka T3x, would this barrel be compatible with it? If you know.
Until a few years ago when I started to get really into big game hunting, I would have been shocked to find out how many people are eager to spend money applying for expensive out of state tags with bad draw odds, lol.
My first year applying in Idaho and I applied for moose, then I realized I apparently cannot apply for deer elk or lope now because I applied for moose.
Considering how low the draw odds are, buying a license just to buy a lottery ticket for a moose probably wasn't very bright, oops.
There are some gorgeous deer hunt zones you can draw with zero or one point if you are ok with using an iron-sight muzzle-loader. I got one point and I think I will draw the Zion Deer Unit muzzy hunt. Not a unit for a serious trophy hunter, but one of the most geologically scenic places in the...
What I've seen some guides offer is a deal where they guarantee a shot opportunity, and if you do not get a shot opportunity doing your guided hunt, you can come back for a second guided hunt in the future at no additional charge.
Obviously it is a bad deal for a guide unless they can be...
It was $8,500 for the deer/bear combo due to getting a discount by picking it up when someone else had a last minute cancellation. $1,000 extra for the pig, so $9,500 total price before tip.
Included a fully guided one on one multi-day hunt with guaranteed shot opportunities, staying in a nice...
Found these three nice sized sun bleached desert mule deer sheds while exploring a remote area of Mt. Charleston only about an hour drive from the Las Vegas strip, plus about 4 hours of trekking on foot.
Lockwood Hunting Services, the name of the guide I hunted with was Charles. Highly recommend. I got a deal on a bear/deer combo hunt due to a last minute cancellation. I also added on a wild pig for a bit extra, so I got to harvest 3 big game animals in 4 days, was absolutely fantastic!
I live in Vegas and there are some good fishing and small game hunting spots in Southern Utah that are a shorter drive from my house than the good spots in northern NV, and since I bought the UT combo fishing and hunting license anyways, might as well put in for some of the big game tags.
If...
