If any of you guys end up heading out here to Utah this year to hunt let me know - at the very least I can help scout and/or pack out. I'll be hunting elk and possibly Mulies (if I get drawn for deer - elk I'll get OTC if I don't draw).
The unit I live at is spike only (Oquirrh-Stansbury), that is where I hunted last year. Success rates are still pretty low, but it was neat to be able to see quite a few animals (albeit not legal to shoot), and like you said, the opportunity to get out in elk country and learn as much as possible was better for me than tromping around not knowing what I was doing in an any bull unit, where the chances of seeing elk were much less.AT Hiker":2x79cb92 said:I've thought about those spike tags in the premium units. Just something to get my elk feet wet and fill the freezer. You know anything about those? I know a unit in WY where I could all but guarantee to kill a cow but with a 6mile home out it's just not feasible, especially when I can easily get the deer tag and have decent odds of filling it.
