Thank you for the great responses. I would be working and living in SLC. Compared to MN I'm thinking this would be a good first step to living out west. Keep posting if you have more info....anyone know how decent the fishing is?
Any have any advice on moving to Salt Lake City? I have a job offer that may be too good to turn down. I'm a DIY hunter and I'm thinking being a UT resident may be a good thing for hunting in the state. Please share your opinion of Utah.
Thanks!
When I hunted Nebraska last spring - a farmer told me there is so many out there that a lot of people shoot (poach) them with high powered rifles because they cause so much crop damage. Find a nice creek or river corridor and some public land - you'll be happy. I got 3 toms in one morning.
I'm in agreement - the only way I found OYOA was by a chance viewing of that episode at a friends house. That is an excellent "classic" episode. I hope we see a lot more of that quality in the future.
Be ready to hike and hike some more. If there isn't too much snow - hit the road going up to the NW of Logan Mtn. There is a big patchwork of private and public. If you can find a deal - try to have horses ready to help you pack out. Great unit - but there are wolves and Mr. Griz.
I'm finding as I get older and chasing more quality / mature animals - the more I'm satisfied with eating a tag - just to be out in wide open spaces with a gun or bow in my hands. Great story. thanks.
Check out the fish and game page...read a lot of the info. The best teacher is going out and doing it. Read the draw odds for each unit - find one with a lot of public land and and water. Hike away from the roads. A call to the area biologist doesn't hurt at all. Have fun - it's a very good hunt...
I love this time of year....getting ready for a family elk hunting trip to unit 19. Three of us have cow tags and ten days to make things happen. We were also lucky to get access to hanna draw HMA. Trying to get my dad his first elk will be an exciting prospect.
