I'm not catman but if you got the inside scoop on a good tag with minimal points I could kidnap him and bring him with me.

It's on my bucket list whether it be Colorado, New Mexico, Utah or wherever. I want to hunt elk one of these days. Need more vacation time is the main thing stopping me.

The biggest problem that I have found for most of the non-resident applicants for UT is you must have a valid hunting license to put in for the draw. I'll check the most recent draw odds and see what the situation is with NR points. Point creep is a big pain out here, but that mainly affects the limited-entry units. The GS units can produce, it just takes getting away from the roads and the pumpkin patch.

AT - heck yeah man, come on out! I need to take a trip down to see Poser's neck of the mountains too.

If you aren't worried about drawing a premium unit (which can take over a decade), the nice thing about UT is you can purchase elk tags OTC.

I wish I had a line on some horses in my area - that is one thing that I feel at a disadvantage with. I'll start out well before daylight and hike for a couple of hours just to make it into the areas before the guys on horseback get out there. Plus, they aren't wore out from the hike like I am by then :-D

I have actually thought about using them - there is a place in SLC that rents them, $300/wk for a pair

Ha! We have the same bucket list.....I have been researching these very places all week trying to decide on where and start putting a plan together!!
Maybe we should all team up and do a group hunt!
 
It looks like my unit here is easier for non-residents to draw than it is for me, lol. I'll draw it every two or three years, but non-residents can draw almost every year.
 
Points:
1. Best get your new boots and start a serious exercise program yesterday. If you have horses or whatever good for you but you will still need to be in very good shape.
2. Start learning to estimate distance or get yourself a good range finder. 300 yard shots are routine. I once turned down a quartering away monster bull because my range estimation was way off. Shoulda killed him.
3. Start pumping rounds through your intended primary rifle and you should have a backup.
4. Find some clothing that will work to keep you warm. It gets brutal cold in elk country.



I am wondering if New Mexico has any public land. I was going to the Vermejo Ranch before my heart attack and now the prices are far beyond my reach. Think i may look at NM DIY.

Definitely some great advice here! I was fortunate enough to shoot a cow elk last year, the shot was taken at 537 yards - that, in addition to the terrain, has been the biggest obstacle I have encountered since I started hunting out here.

Only thing I would edit on this is not only have clothes that can keep you warm, but also learn to layer properly - you WILL be walking your tail off, and having sweat soaked clothes when you stop to glass can be dangerous.
