Just got my elk and deer tags. Will be hunting in northern Utah on private ground, nearest town is Evanston, Wy. My first day of hunting will be September 12th. I've been hunting for a very long time and am looking forward to this year just as much as ever, maybe more because conditions look outstanding. Horn growth is very good and animal numbers are up thanks to several mild winters back to back. So, that's my story what's yours ? BTW I've got trial cam photos and other photos of some elk and deer but have no idea of how to post them and little interest in learning. Anyone want to volunteer ?

I plan on going every year. Does that count???
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Any bull tag, North Eastern Oregon. Jonesing to get out there.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Wind Rivers in Wyo first part of October. Bull tag. Hunting with two friends with Bald Mountain Outfitters. It's one friend's first big game hunt.
I'm almost as eager to launch a few flys in some of those small mountain lakes.

3rd rifle for us, Colorado Unit 12 and associated areas.
Hunting buddy has a cow tag, Daughter #1 will have a bull tag and I have two cow tags.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I'll be in south central WY with a bull tag this October. From all the info I've been able to gather, it's a HUGE area with not a lot of elk but some pretty good bulls are taken every year. Just got my elk and deer tags. Will be hunting in northern Utah on private ground, nearest town is Evanston, Wy. My first day of hunting will be September 12th. I've been hunting for a very long time and am looking forward to this year just as much as ever, maybe more because conditions look outstanding. Horn growth is very good and animal numbers are up thanks to several mild winters back to back. So, that's my story what's yours ? BTW I've got trial cam photos and other photos of some elk and deer but have no idea of how to post them and little interest in learning. Anyone want to volunteer ? If you don't mind me asking, which CWMU are you hunting? I spent quite a bit of time on/around Deseret in that part of the state.

Colorado Unit 18. Family ranch. We'll head up for second rifle. Cousins hunt first rifle. So we'll see how it goes. Gonna try to get in some fishing too!!
