    San Juan NR MZ mule deer

    I can tell you this. If the draw was random only, I would’ve dropped out a long time ago. No, I’ll never draw Primo tag. Probably not even San Juan. But if I live long enough, I’ll draw a decent tag.

    Does anyone have a copy of this audit report mentioned in this letter?

    $fw where's the money?

    Start with total income from expo Subtract expenses = X10% Write them a check

    $fw where's the money?

    This is basackwards. For running the expo and tag sales, SFW should get 10% of what’s brought in. Even the statement about MDF is wrong. It should not state that they are “giving” the state money. They are returning money Utah gave them. The whole thing should be simple: Total money from...

    Cheatgrass 101

    I am clearing cedar of my Texas ranch. Costing $400/acre but with NRCS grant money I only have to pay $150/acre. Still adds up, but there is money out there if you look. The deer on my place are doing “ok” but will do better with cedar gone, and all wildlife benefits.

    What to put in for?

    Old, if you wait til this time next year I can assure you that you won’t get any better answers. Planning a once or twice in a Lifetime hunt doesn’t happen that way.

    Don’t meant to derail the subject. But plants have figured out lots of different ways to disperse their seeds

    Cheatgrass 101

    Ours is actually a beneficial native grass and is called Texas Wintergrass because it can green up in winter. But it’s normally called spear grass for obvious reasons. Here is how they look on the plant

    Cheatgrass 101

    I am a vet and I don’t have any cheatgrass near me but we have our own variety of spear type seeds. Find them between the toes, armpits, up the nose, and sometimes even deep in the ear canal right at the ear drum I wouldn’t expect much of a problem with a GSP due to short, tight skin/hair, but...

    Cheatgrass 101

    Helicopters in this area charge $600/hr. You could spray a lot of acres in an hour. I had them shoot pigs on my place. In 1.5 hrs, they shot 62 pigs. Best $900 I’ve spent in a long time.

    Unless I am missing something, someone with a tractor could treat this pretty economically. Maybe grant money available? As far as people…..maybe post a few of these

    Cheatgrass 101

    To me it’s pretty simple: whitetail and mule deer are primarily browsers, not grazers, and do better where there is more browse and less grass. Cheatgrass is non-native and is aggressive to the point of crowding out native browse and allows more frequent and aggressive fires. That’s all bad...

    What to put in for?

    If you are who you say, and want to hunt, you should have put in for a very hard to draw unit. Cause ya never know…. But the evening of the last day of apps is not the time to ask questions. No real useful info is obtained that way.

    What to put in for?

    He’s a resident and he has zero idea about units? He is a regular incognito.

    CWD Jumping to Humans?

    10 posts and only 1 about CWD. You want to talk CWD: I will be happy to discuss. As a veterinarian who has had deer clients, I know a little. But no one knows it all. What we don’t know scares me as much as what we do. At this point, no one can say it will jump to humans. And the reverse:. No...

    And you think Utah non residents are the issue

    I corrected that for you. Texas certainly has our fair share, but there are people like that in every state.

    CWD Jumping to Humans?

    Hmm. I am one who, after looking at the collective science, is worried this may jump to man eventually. But I don’t follow the logic of this article. The 72 yr old man died from something resembling CJD. But it also resembles other diseases that do occur in man. I see nothing in the article...

    Backfire Milk Jug Challenge

    I will also say this. I think when you shoot from 200 yards and you hit an animal, but you don’t find it, it affects you more than one you don’t find at 800 yards. You don’t see the pain you caused up close and personal. Maybe he wasn’t wounded that bad! Maybe I missed and just thought I hit...

    Backfire Milk Jug Challenge

    I do pretty good out to 400, as seen above, when conditions are ideal. I even have a dope sheet taped on the gun out to 600 yards in case I need to make a follow up shot. But my guides in Utah were like: with that group at 400 yards, you will be fine out to 800. And tried to convince me to push...

    Backfire Milk Jug Challenge

    They did. There def should be a time limit to simulate real hunting conditions. But I would hope that most people would pass a 600-800 yrd shot if they only had 60 seconds. When you are that far away and game is not spooked, you should have more time, on the first shot at least. Maybe wishful...

    Backfire Milk Jug Challenge

    I would like to see the challenge with a little more time between shots. Maybe 2 min per shot? Firing 5 shots in 5 min is pretty dang quick. I hope that most people don’t take a 600-800 yd shot at game unless they have time to figure out all the parameters. I realize animals may not give you...
