Could'nt have said it better myself!!!!!!!!!
What a joke, I'm sure Super Hunter Denny has well over 200k invested for a 30 min. hunt. It's a shame for the REAL hunters who spend countless hours doing what they love to see some douche named Denny "BUY" his way to a trophy animal. Nothing against the people that guide for a living. This is totally different. If u buy a hunt and a guide takes you hunting thats great. But for someone to pay for 30+ people to look for an animal while he is off jerkin his meat somewhere is BS.

For us that refuse to pay anything to a guide, this is no different. Sorry, but HUNTING, is not high enough on my priority list to pay anyone to help me.
I had a Sportsman tag in Utah the first year they offerend them. I drew a Moose tag (1 out of 2,700) which cost me the $5.00 application fee. I had 4 months to hunt. I had numerous OFFERS for help, but I spent almost 2 months HUNTING most of the northern mountains for a big bull. My family, little kids included spent many hours hunting with me. My parents went to Monte Cristo almost every night and will never forget that year trying to find a bull.
I shot my bull, a 45" 10x10 while by myself in 2 feet of snow. I stalked to within 20 yards through the trees and no one can take that memroy away and knowing I spent nothing more than gas and a case of 220 grain .06 bullets is satisfying. Wether he payed 170k or 1k, it doesn't matter to me.
BTW, this bull did not grow to that size in one year. There have been several preceeding years it could have been found/shot.

You are exactly right! I talked to Wayne first person and thats the story i got too. Would you guys be surprised if i told you the bull was actually killed on the FishLake Unit?
There is some rolly quakie/sage country between the two units that the bulls winter on, i actually found 3 different bulls sheds on it last fall, I don't know what side of the road he was killed on but he was killed in that area. you guys need to put in for utah, shoot me a pm when its time to apply, i can probably help you out with some areas.Wow good job! Glad it's dead so no one else will be able to enjoy it's beauty!
no wolves yet in central utah?
I don't know how someone could guide for a living, i would go nuts, I guide about everyother weekend from september to november and that is bad enough. Last saturday, i sat and watched the public hunter on our CWMU( the hunter who drew the public tag through the state) wound about a 195'' straight 4 point, probably the 2nd to 3rd biggest deer i have seen on us this year, it was so frustrating, i would go nuts if it was my life to guide these rich snobs. I got a OBGYN from Wisconsin coming in this weekend, this ougt to be interesting...
Don't believe so, we need to get rid of some bears and coyotes before they even think about coming in or we are really screwed. The ranch we run on the Book Cliffs is CRAWLING with bear, if any of you guys draw the Nine Mile-Range Creek South bear unit, pm you can have free run of our ranch! we need to rid of a few
