Andymansavage Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 After 10 years of applying as a resident, I finally drew a limited entry muzzleloader tag for a Southern Utah elk unit. I had a great summer of scouting and prep for the hunt. I shot my bull after four hard days of hunting and passing on many smaller bulls.The full story with pics and long video is on my blog (signature). Here are a couple pics and a vid link to the bull on the ground.

fly Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Almost makes me want to move to Utah! The 10 year thing as a resident is insane! Wish it wasn't so dang tough to get a bull elk tag in the US, I'd love to try it. Until it becomes a hunt an average salaried American living in IL can do I'll stick with whitetails. Congratulations on an awesome animal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on an awesome animal! Actually, anyone can buy an OTC tag and hunt HUGE areas of public land for elk every year. The Limited entry units are where the waiting game applies. I can hunt elk every fall, just not in the primo units. Thanks for the comments guys, it was a great hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the cheapest permit is 388.00 which isn't bad. Nearly 800.00 for the limited entry areas. 388.00 isn't too bad, but I bet the odds of taking a bull like the one you got are pretty low.
