    Is this a larger lion?

    Have you seen all the pics of dead spikes that get posted here come Oct? I would say folks brag plenty no matter what they kill. I admire your position and conservation efforts, but for most of us who hunt deer primarily and lions opportunistically, we are pulling the trigger. The good news is it probably won't ever matter what we tell him to do because chances are he never sees that lion with his own two eyes.

    game plan

    I will be looking for antelope bucks. Don't suspect I will find many deer where I will be looking. But I will keep the bow handy just in case.

    Look how short the legs appear compared to the body. That thing is a beast.

    Bear Rug Ideas

    I used some hooks that use three pins across the top. No studs needed but my bear isn't near as big as workman's. Stupid iPhone won't post the pics right side up.

    Decoy???

    I will be hunting speed goats with my muzzleloader this Sept and was wondering if anyone has had any success with decoys. My hunt has a pretty limited number of tags and I don't anticipate a lot of pressure during the hunt. It's been 13 years since I hunted antelope and that hunt was archery 19a when there were two hunts with 120 tags each. Those goats were as skittish as Unit 6A elk. There are quite a few cows in this unit and I have been considering using the moo cow Montana decoy. Do the 3D decoys work better than something 2D like Montana decoys? With my rig I think I will be pretty comfortable if I can get one within 300 yds. Any and all suggestions welcome.

    Non-resident tag info...

    Non residents are limited to a 10% cap of any one hunt. So when your buddy is added to your app if your group application is selected there will need to be a NR tag available for him or else your application will be rejected. Typically the cap is met during the bonus pass for the more desirable units and the kaibab tags would definitely meet that criteria. Meaning your group would need to have an average number of bonus points high enough to qualify for the bonus pass to have any chance to draw a tag. Unit 23 general might have a few available after the bonus I will need to verify. Ultimately I would suggest having him apply seperate.

    What hunt?
  19. Here is the point you are missing, the forest belongs to US not YOU. You are not free to tear the whole thing down and build a motocross track, ski resort or amusement park if you wish. It is a publicly owned resource and as such an organization exists to manage the interests of the public. If the forest is gone that is not in our best interest. Guess what else isn't in our best interest flushing millions of taxpayer dollars down the toilet and risking the LIVEs of hard working men and women with families because some ignorant white trash heathen flipped a cigarette out the window on a forest service road. Yes some people are tooooo stupid to be trusted in these conditions. For crying out loud people how many million acres have to burn before some people decide to use their head for something more than a storage place for self centered thoughts.
  20. I have lived in this state long enough to accept this as a fact of life. There are just too many DUMB people out there and it's too dang risky to leave our forests in their hands. Just look at the way these jack wagons leave the forests after a holiday weekend. Yes a lot more needs to be done to maintain the forests and prevent build up of fuels but in the end, the general public just has too many slobs in it who won't play by the rules.

    WHAT STATE WOULD YOU PICK FOR A OTC ARCHERY ELK HUNT?

    Some are real good. Not sure what has leftovers. Fish lake, Monroe, Pahvant and se desert are all decent but I would be surprised if those have leftovers at least for the bull hunts

    WHAT STATE WOULD YOU PICK FOR A OTC ARCHERY ELK HUNT?

    Do not be deceived by Nate Simmons and Ryan Hatfield in Idaho. Those guys live and hunt there every year and hunt way back there. Not to be a downer but I lived there for 3 years, hunted 20+ days and heard 3 bulls bugle in that time. There are places where you can have a great hunt, just don't go there expecting an AZ like rut experience and be prepared to do lots of research, lots of hiking and lots of climbing. I loved my time there and definitely got better at it, but it is a tough hunt. For what it's worth if I was going OTC I would go to ID but that's because I have some starting points and a lifetime license. I also lived in UT and depending on what is leftover that could be very tempting. Those hunts are pre-rut and can be very water centric. Their water sources are centered around creeks and streams not tanks so tht helps keep the crowds spread out.

    online draw.

    Trying to figure how many times 1 goes into 500? :-) Nope I'll leave that to the UA grads.
  24. Anybody got their eye on one of those 14 December muzzleloader tags in unit 5?
