That buck and mount are one of my favorites!

I think that is great. I've always limited myself to that as well. And much closer is a possibility as my early bull was just over 200 yards and my brothers was 100 yards. I haven't looked to see how many early tags they give now. Back when I hunted it there were around 70 tags given. You...

Yes. A LARGE amount of the herd will rut on the CWMU's. Togwotee is correct with likely shot distances. 5 days will go quick if you're trying to figure the unit out. Before labor day get to know the unit and see the quality for the year. After labor day is when I'd focus on where the elk are at...

@elkassassin , this IMO is the problem with tag cuts. We fail to look at what cutting opportunities does to the mental aspect of hunting. When you can't draw for multiple years, the "pressure" to hunt harder, not go empty handed, etc is a lot different than when you know you'll be back next...

Never been, but I have a spring tag for UT. Planning on running dogs. But will also try some spot and stalk.

Wow! That's a view you'll never get sick of.

Someday I hope to have a dedicated "man cave". As of now, this is the time I've had them together in one spot. All from the same unit in UT. 2015 late rifle, 2021 archery, 2013 early rifle.

Apps are in. If they don't draw we'll look into this.

That's cool. I really appreciate the opportunity CO gives for youth hunters. Here is a pic of my oldest boys first buck last year in CO.

Hmmm, my other son in the same situation last year didn't have any problem 🤷‍♂️. I think I'm just going to pick a unit and go for it. Can't imagine any unit not providing an opportunity at a first buck.

Sent you a PM with a few specifics.

0. He's 11 now, but won't turn 12 until later in the year. So that limits which seasons he can apply for. For some reason I had it in my mind that as long as he turned 12 this year it didn't matter what season he applied for. I'm now looking at units I've never been to. This is purely for...

Thought I had things figured. Went to apply my boy and found out I misinterpreted the age requirement. Needing now to change unit and season, limiting his options. Like always, we'll try for a nice buck. However, this is more about his first hunt and hopefully first buck. Would like to discuss a...
