Utah Boulder/Kaiparowits Muley Tactics and Viability

[Ultraheight]

Hi All,

I'm looking for anyone with experience with muleys in the southern portion of the Boulder/Kaiparowits area of Utah, please PM. Also open to anyone who has explored southern Utah for desert bucks or sheep, much of the red rock desert is considered more sheep country. Please don't post the info here for all the public to see, I know we are all trying to be sensitive to the guidelines about units and areas. Happy to reciprocate with tips and guidance on anything elk/deer related in Colorado and Utah. Thanks ahead of time!

Nobody that has spent anywhere in a place like that is going to tell you anything, duh. Being sensitive about areas means telling nobody anything, ever.

With the new regs there it will definitely change that unit in the coming years!

Meh, maybe on the mountain side of the unit where there are more deer and more hunters.
All of that desert habitat is limited by the fact that population densities are extremely low and isolated in certain areas. Because of the habitat, populations will always be very limited regardless of weapon type. Hunting pressure is limited by the miserable hunting and the fact that anyone who hunts it successfully isn't going to tell anyone about it.

My best friend hunts the lowland desert there.... he kills big bucks down there. His last 3 bucks have been killed at 600+ across plateaus... Those shots won't be happening anymore there. Yes the area SUCKS to hunt. Big bucks are already there.... they are taken out by rifle hunters now. Limiting these hunts will only drive success down and these top end bucks are going to get bigger. Thats just my opinion.....
