The Utah Wildlife Board recently met to approve (or not approve) of the updated deer management plan items for 2025-2030. After virtually attending multiple Utah RAC and Wildlife Board meetings, I breakdown their final votes and process.

Hunt Series 5 Dec 05, 2024

Show notes

Long overdue - I finally recap some of my September hunts, including my old man's NV archery elk hunt and my Wyoming deer hunt. Prioritizing hunts is a challenge each year. Once-in-a-lifetime type hunts rarely come along, so we should help with them every chance we get. My dad's NV archery elk hunt was one of those hunts. Enjoy!
