    Favorite Map App For Hunting

    Use OnX and GAIA, they both have their strengths. I tend to use OnX more often as it seems more intuitive and straightforward. But GAIA is very feature-rich and offers many more layers/tools than OnX. Have not tried it yet, but I'm intrigued by the GoHunt app feature for slope...

    E-scouting and Road Layers in UT

    It was the forest in the central part of the state. Hunt was an amazing experience. The greatest part was spending time with three old friends. The kindness and hospitality of the local folks was refreshing and inspiring. Several went above and beyond to help us out in various ways. And...

    E-scouting and Road Layers in UT

    Follow up after the hunt - people were driving motorized vehicles on every possible road and trail in the unit. Did not matter a bit if the road/trail was marked as open on the Forest Service MVUM. I asked a few locals about it - sounds like little or no concern about enforcement.

    Why Guys Quit on the Mountain

    I still laugh about the Cliff Gray video where he chastises today's hunters for "gear masturbation" . Fixating on gear at the expense of actual hunting experience.

    How much trimming before you grind your burger?

    I'm curious about how much trimming you do before grinding your elk burger - mainly wondering about the "silver skin" sheath layers (not the fat or tendons). In your opinion, does the silver skin taint the flavor of the burger if it's not removed? Would also like to hear your preferred...

    E-scouting and Road Layers in UT

    I’ve been e-scouting for a Utah LE elk hunt this September and would appreciate advice on a couple topics: On satellite photos and some mapping layers, I’m seeing what appear to be primitive roads and motorized trails which are not shown on the USFS MVUM layer. I am assuming there will be...

    recommend a beginner elk call(s) for me

    Phelps Amp diaphragm in gray, pink, red (maverick), white. Gray is easiest when starting out, but as noted above, they wear out the fastest. A mouth diaphragm is more versatile than other types of exterior mouth calls. Bugle tube Elknut App - Paul Medel rocks! There are many, many great...

    Manti LE Rifle - Advice about ATV/Glassing

    Follow up question - looking at the Forest Service MVUM, the majority of roads in the unit are designated as High Clearance, with some designated as ATV only. From the responses above, I get the impression that some of the High Clearance designated roads would be difficult to navigate in a 4x4...

    Manti LE Rifle - Advice about ATV/Glassing

    Drew the Manti UT Any Weapon LE early elk hunt. I have a couple questions for those who are familiar with the unit and are willing to give advice. I'm debating whether to haul an ATV across the country - how helpful would it be to have an ATV in addition to my truck? Second, do you...
