Looks like I might have to change my name on here. Looking at moving to Salt Lake area or Reno. Anybody have thoughts from a hunting / trad direction as the pros or cons of either one. pm's welcome if you want to comment just to me. thanks guys. I have mixed feelings about leaving Oregon but it's looking like it's going to happen sometime.

If I had a choice I would take Salt Lake over Reno. Nevada and Utah both have many opportunities for hunters. I believe Utah has more of each species and more habitat therefore having the edge.

We have a few more opportunities to walk around with broadheads The deer are way down and unless you have some points, the rest of the species are out. You can hunt spike/cows everyyear. The plus is that you are close to NV,CO, and WY which have much better hunting. There are a few trad guys around, just no trad only shoots, and not many shoots period.

Certainly a much bigger population base in SL. Much better OTC hunting opportunities in UT. Fewer people in Reno. Skiing in both great people in both and Cabela's stores in both-hard to go wrong................... Posts: 8752 | From: Los Gatos, California | Registered: Jun 2005

I still have a hold of Okie's shirt sleeve...not ready to let him leave yet! Just starting to put together the woodshop, going to build bows, getting to hunt together again...and he goes looking at moving out of state! Oh well, it will give me a good reason to hunt of state more!

Utah. Ive been to both but got a bad taste from Reno. Saw a lot more game in Utah and seemed to be much easier to pull a tag.

Just from pictures I've seen Utah would take it hands down. Lots more aspen covered mountains and less windy sage flats.

I lived in both and I would say Utah. more game animals.

I've been all over the country (42 states) and I'm still partial to Utah. FYI... We will have a trad only shoot the first weekend of June, so Utah is coming around... Conner, Steadman... Put that weekend on your calendars, as we are going to need your support. You can get shoot info on timparchers.com

Without a doubt there is more game in Utah and you will get to hunt more often. Being able to buy a spike/cow elk tag every yr is a huge bonus imo, especially if you like to eat the stuff. Can't do that in Nevada, its been 4 yrs since I drew a cow elk tag in Nv. Sad thing is I'm just trying to burn the points so I can start putting in for bulls, cow points don't work for bulls and you can't have both. Its getting harder to draw for deer too but from what I've seen Nv has bigger deer.
