"They better start transplanting elk quickstyle or I'm not moving a muscle!" Love it, Nick! Amen!!! S.

Actually, to me it doesn't say anything about innocence. It simply bolsters the argument that he didn't know it was illegal (innocence and ignorance are different). That being said, I of course agree with the majority here that a citation seems pretty harsh in this case. A little 'officer PR' and a discussion about rules & hunter responsibility would have gone much further and been much more effective IMO. Since he's a minor, hopefully the judge will see it that way. Also since he's a minor, hopefully it doesn't impact his record in the long-term (either way, I'm thinking this would not classify as a 'felony'...... I hope I'm right on that.). S.

Awesome man! Nothing like getting out there with the kiddos!!! Looks like some great scenery and a great time! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

VERY, VERY AWESOME!!!!!! Great story and great pics! Congrats on a very cool adventure!! Thanks for sharing with the site. S.

That pic looks familiar to me, Lance! Looks just like my daughter's deer hunt from a couple of years ago! Good father/daughter time! 6ANut, good luck in your journey! There is NOTHING like it!!!! (PS: Sorry to hi-jack your thread. ) S.

You've gotten some good advice! Little girls are AWESOME! My girl is 15 now, curvey and sassy but she'll always be Daddy's Little Girl!! Good luck and enjoy life!!!!!! S.

+1! I'm a VERY novice bow hunter with very little experience. I was fortunate enough to have an archery cow tag in unit 1 several years ago and had one of the most amazing afternoons of hunting in my life during a steady down pour. I was in lots of elk and they were very active. The rain did not keep them down one bit! It did, however keep my scent/noise down. Was fun and I ended-up shooting a nice yearling cow elk (my first and only with a bow). Good luck stalking in the rain! S.

Wow! Amazing footage! S.

Thanks for jumping-in to provide that information/clarification! Nice to get the info directly from the source! S.

VERY AWESOME!!!!! Thanks much for sharing the entire saga with the site!!! S.

Classic...... Been there once. Was on an archery deer hunt down South and decided to go for a drive to chase some quail for a couple of hours in the early afternoon. My friend said 'better take your bow....', but I declined. Sure enough, came face to face (25 yards) from a rutting 4x4 that wouldn't budge because of his does..... S. PS: He was nowhere near the caliber of buck that you came across!!!! Wow!

Great that your kids are getting to hunt this year! That Kiabab Jr. hunt is AWESOME! If you want him to study up, I would concentrate on the basics that he learned in the class (T.A.B. + 1, etc....). Then I would just encourage him to listen to the instructors carefully during the field day, relax, and enjoy! Seems to me like the field day has not changed that much over the years. Good, basic, hands-on instruction. He'll be fine! S.

Three weeks ago we lost our dear mother to a sudden heart attack while my 90 year old father was in surgery for a broken hip. After the surgery, my father had a tough time with the recovery and two days ago he finally surrendered and has joined my mother. He was a war hero, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, hunter, scholar, gentleman, and my HERO! He and my mom were married for 64 years, and I'm honored and lucky to be a part of their amazing life legacy! Kudos to you dad, for fighting the good fight all through life! This post is absolutely NOT about sympathy, but a way for me to honor and celebrate my father's great life! He'll be with me this fall...... Peace everyone! S. Taking a drag off of a cigarette prior to climbing into his B-17 for a combat mission over Europe in WWII. He flew 33 missions, including over the Normandy coast on D-day! 20 year old 2nd Lt. - Navigator. He and I on a two week trip to Alaska almost 20 years ago. (NO, we did not kill that bear.) We were guests at a hunting lodge on the Alaska Penninsula that a friend of ours had access to. We fished and saw sites and were able to see some of the bears that the guides/skinners brought in.

AWESOME! Love Utah! (I'll be up there for the general rifle hunt in a few weeks......) Congrats to your son on his first archery buck! S.

We did great in our usual spot! LOTS of birds! Sorry you didn't get into them, elkaholic! Don't give up! They're out there! S.

LOVE opening day of dove season! Just finished the traditional bacon and eggs breakfast after a nice opening morning with my kids and friends. Plenty of doves where we were! Good thing I brought us lots of shells!! Typical hit ratios! Hope everyone was safe and had fun! S.

You weren't blocked (It would be much more obvious to you if you were blocked..... ) Not sure why it isn't until someone replies that it shows under 'view new content', but um, the fact that you can view and post replies/topics pretty much means you have not been blocked. S.

AWESOME!!!! Congrats and thanks for sharing the story with the site! Maybe consider donating your Dec tag to HOAL???? S.
