    15x Binos vs Spotting scope

    I’m looking to purchase an optic for future Arizona deer, elk, and javelina hunts. I’m not as focused on picking out trophies as I am with finding mature animals. I’m a newer hunter and care more about the food and adventure. Would I be better off using high powered binoculars for extended...

    Elk ecology reading

    Does anyone know of an alternative book to North American Elk: Ecology and Management. The book is out of print and sells for about $300 on eBay. I’ll never be able to convince my wife of that kind of purchase. I’m wanting to learn about foods that elk prefer in Utah.

    Cow Elk Needs

    I'm hoping to draw a cow elk tag this year in Utah. Do cows follow the same seasons and needs as bulls? If I draw, the season would be from October 6-30 and November 10 anuary 13. Where would I find the elk?

    Utah Draw Odds

    So if most tags are given in the first choice, should I pick the most likely unit first? I was under the impression all my choices were considered. I used the “swing for the fences” tactic for my first picks and better odds with my last. I’ll have one point next year, so will I get a hunt with...

    Utah Draw Odds

    Congrats on everyone who drew this year! Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful at drawing my general season mule deer hunt. I had zero points applying. While using gohunt, I applied for a couple hard units, but chose easier units as my last 3 choices. My last unit was 98% draw odds. The hunts were...

    Looking for a spotting scope

    I’m hoping to draw my tag in a general Utah mule deer unit. I’ve never had a spotting scope, let alone look through one. What would be a good magnification range? I’m leaning towards a scope with no more than 65mm objective. I’m planning on doing a lot of hiking too, so I don’t want a heavy...

    Cooler capacity

    I'm looking to buy a cooler for a mule deer hunt in Utah. Can I get by with one cooler? If so, what size cooler would fit a boned-out deer? Also, which brands do you recommend? An Orion cooler would nice, but I'm now on a tight budget after buying all my other hunting equipment.

    Hello from Utah!

    Hello everyone, I've been living in Utah for a little over 7 months now. I'm excited for a chance to hunt the West. My eagerness to learn has become an addiction. I grew up in Kansas, so learning how to hunt this mountinous land will be my biggest challenge. I have many questions and appriciate...
