1- PASS, willowy lack of mass 2- PASS, silly small frame 3- PASS, small and feminine, or lazy 4- PASS, ginger and probably poisonous 5- PASS, wipe that milk off its lips Good area though. Probably find a decent one somewhere.

Most anywhere in the Uinta wilderness with my kids and my goats.

Great enthusiasm. In your situation, given your circumstances I’m gonna disagree with others and say you are on the right track with learning what you can from good books, etc. Work smarter, not harder. The things you read will really stick when you see it in real life (especially mistakes) and...

Sadly, all the folks that used to hunt the Oquirrhs are now all crowded onto the Stansburys, having lost access to much of the Oquirrhs. Crazy how crowded it has become even deep into the back country.

Does this count as a hunting rig? Been to multiple states and it gives me flexibility for base camp, back country, and even road hunting if desired. Works as long as I don’t have to back up. On occasion, I’ve thrown the goats in the bed of the truck if i need to drive a lot deeper up a bad road...

That quote with the DEI goals certainly seemed believable. Had me there for a second. Haha.

We hunted this unit for two of my kids during late rifle in 2020 and 2022. And my nephew hunted it in 2021. The 2021 burn in the wilderness area really buggered where we hunted in 2020, so had to change tactics in 2022. As folks have said, it can be highly competitive.

Alligator. 6 foot. Lived in southeast FL for 5 years for my first job out of college. Would take my kids to the Everglades occasionally to get away from the city. One time trying to bass fish with my son’s sea pole, a 6’ alligator swam over the line. So, I thought it would be cute for my kids...

Ah. Ok. Wasn’t sure if the age requirement you were referring to was losing his youth status or turning 12. Unfortunately, I don’t think I have any useful info on units he would be able to hunt this year. Three of my kids have deer hunted CO as youth, but with a few points.

How many points does he have?

Archery mostly…but more and more I’m enjoying the easier-to-care for meat in later rifle seasons.

Interestingly, the whole pack goats being a disease vector for bighorn sheep was litigated in the courts about a decade ago. Proven that they are decidedly not and ruled accordingly. Access can no longer be prohibited to packers with pack goats. Notably, the pack goats have made our hunts much...

Wasn’t the plan this year, but now my oldest son is finally ready to cash out his NR points. We’ve hunted CO for elk and deer hunts for his younger siblings at lesser point levels, so we know a few lower tier units. He has 12 deer points and 9 elk points. I’m kinda leaning towards just doing...

Yeah, I’ve had 5 kids that all struggled as 12-13 year olds finding game in the scope in the heat of the moment. I often took for granted the skills that now come so naturally after decades of practice, but are surprisingly difficult for newbies.

I’m genuinely curious…are these folks “idiots” for not following the UT law regarding orange or is it that they are unsafe? Are hunters in ID and AZ idiots, too, if not wearing orange? (And I’ll stipulate that during general season hunts in Utah, it’s definitely both)
