I've Done It Again - Utah Here I Come!
« on: July 23, 2013, 07:17:00 PM »
You might remember my phenominal luck in drawing a Utah Bison tag last year.  They must really like me out there, because today I received a call from the Utah Division of Wildlife informing me that my name came up as an alternate for a limited entry bull elk tag in the Fish Lakes unit.

WooHoooooo!!  Here we go again!!!   :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:

I've been wearing out my computer and telephone all afternoon trying to get started on the research.  Would have been nice to have more planning time, but I'm not looking this gift horse in the mouth!!

If anyone has any intel on the Plateau/Fish Lakes area of Utah I am all ears!  I already have made a couple of excellent contacts and think I will end up in good shape as far as spots to try.  But always open to other ideas as well.

Congratulations Joe! I haven't spent much time on the fish lakes unit, but I have on the boulder unit, my best advice would be to take a week before season and donsome serious glassing, the big outfitters in that state have their guys out looking all summer long, find a big one early and get in on him the first morning! great elk hunting abound in that state! Best of luck to you! Looking forward to hearing about it

That is a great area.  I did a muzzy hunt in that unit 4 years ago.  The elk were up high during the night and as soon as first light came they started moving down the MNT towards the private property.  You should have a good hunt they have been killing some studs in there that last two years.

Congratulations on the tag! With the luck you are having, you might want to plan for a couple days playing in Las Vegas after the hunt.
