Book Cliffs Utah Deer Muzzy 2024

[freedomrocks]

Well i am the one non res who drew the one random tag ( unless i read the stats wrong) but anyway i got a tag. Super lucky, Never been on the unit, Never thought i would draw, I plan on driving in from the north ( seep road ) and getting on top . Myself and a fellow old timer will in a UTV covering ground and glassing for a week looking for a good one. If there is anyone out there willing to share a little insight that would be awesome, if not thats ok . at 70 years old i am just glad i have a tag in the pocket,,, and the ability to still hunt. Thanks all Freedomrocks

Getting there Early Will Be An Advantage For You!

Depending On Weather Will Determine rather They've Started Migrating Or Not?

When They Start Moving They Move Quick Off In To The Thick PJ's!

Always A Chance To Find A Buck High Even If They've Started Moving But Most Move In To The Thick Stuff When It Happens!

First Thing I'd Do When you Get There Is Glass The Higher Country & See If They're Still High Or Not!

When They Get Mid-Transition It's Tougher Hunting!

Best Of Luck!

Thank you elkassassin sounds like great advice, i live 1K from the unit or i would scout it, hoping to get there 3 days before season. Hoping for a shot at a 170 buck gunna giver heck

You Should Be Able to locate A Few Of Them!

Again,Depending On Weather Rather They'll Me Migrating Or Not!

I've Seen Alot Of People Spend Alot Of Time Prior To Their Hunt Thinking They've got It Mastered Not Knowing This Deer Herd Moves Quick When They Move!

Then They Waste A few Days/First Part Of Their Hunt Wondering What Happened To All The Deer!

It Can Be tough & It Can Be easy Sometimes!

HUNT HARD & NEVER GIVE UP!

Could anyone chime in on any cell phone service in the area. ? High, Low, or anywhere in between , Thanks

 

[elkassassin]

There's Cell Service But It's Spotty & It's Different With Different Carriers!

There's A Cell Tower Near The Divide & East Of Where The Main Seep Ridge Road Hits The Divide/Top!

There's Also A Tower Down In The Lower Country!

 

[JakeH]

I have AT&T and get in and out service over most of the unit on the north end out to the divide, if you are on top of the ridges you can usually get service.

 

[freedomrocks]

Chevrolet Silverado TV Spot, 'Getting Away'

A group of friends drive all over, looking for a place where there's cell phone reception. Chevy: For getting there, and getting away from there.

Buy a Starlink if you absolutely need service.
They are amazing.

 

[BrowningRage]

I sent you a PM as well.

As far as cell service, all carriers are spotty out there. As was said above, during your first couple days, pay attention to where you do pick up service, remember it or mark on an app so you can find it easily if you absolutely need to.

Last time I was there, 5 years ago, AT&T was spotty but way better than Verizon was. Could have changed since then.

Kinda Funny How Well My BRICK Phone Worked Out There Back In The Day!

Cell service is spotty, I would use onxmaps and download the maps in the areas that you are going to hunt prior to going in. Great to keep your bearings on the unit.

That and the bag phone worked a lot better than todays phones.

 

[elkassassin]

Ya!

Basically The Same Phones!

That and the bag phone worked a lot better than todays phones.

I used to have a truck mounted 5 watt motorola that would get service anywhere in the Book Cliffs. Progress is not always progress.
When we had a hunt out there a couple years ago, when cameras were still legal, I switched to AT&T just to get service for my cell cams. Funny, back then, in the Utah Hunt Planner, the recommendation by the biologist was to run cameras to pattern the bison.

 

[Deacon92]

One thing to note is the muzzleloader regulation changes with regards to scopes.

Have a great hunt!

 

[freedomrocks]

Thanks for all the info and reminders,, i have the old 1 power dailed in and its flying good.

 

[sandycreek12]

I'll be out there in October, drew a cow bison tag. If you see any bison around let a pal know!!

No problem when does your season open
