Northern Utah mulies
Hey ya'll,
I might get a chance to hunt deer in N.Utah!! It's still up in the air. I was born there and return very little but dream of hunting mulies in my birth state. My friend hunts there every other year or so with some family that lives there. He asked if I would like to go if he goes this year.
First I think it's in the Grouse Creek area. I think? It's public land. I'm sure..?..
Can anyone please tell me what the dates are for modern firearm season. What unit is this called?? What can a guy expect as far as an averge good buck? I know every unit puts out a total monster every year. But if I did try and hold out for a big buck and everything was just right could a guy score on a 160 class buck.
It'll be my first trip if we go this year. But him and his Brothers and other members of the family know this area well.
What is the terrian like???????????
Anyway thanks for any advice or answers to my questions.

I heard the North got hammered this year with winter kill. I hope I draw my Nevada tag, so I don't have to worry about it.

First of all what do you hunt rifle, muzzy or archery? Second I live close to that area and although you might see a 160 class buck there once in a while I would defiantly not come from out of state hunting this area. It is over hunted and you are luck to get 100 yards to your self to hunt once the poor deer survive the gauntlet they make it to private ground and hold up till winter. Save your money if you are heading that way, if you would still like to hunt Northern Utah, I will give you and a good ideas of hunting areas that someone that is not afraid to do some hiking might see a few 160 class bucks but its not for the road hunters. If you are looking for Archery I might even take you myself.

Re: Northern Utah mulies
I was offerd a chance to hunt a 36,000 acre ranch out of Grouse Creek. There are only 22 landowner tags for the ranch. My buddy who turned me on to it shoots nice deer every year. Last year he got a 28" 4x4. So hopefully the $1500.00 I'm going to spend is worth it. I assume this much private land would keep the crouds away. The guy that runs the ranch said I should have no problem seeing 10 bucks a day, but the bucks are usually 18"-24" wide.
Let me know if any of you know something different.
Thanks, Jerry

Jerry,
Like I said in my last email once the shooting gets started they head for the private ranches. so you should have some good success. I would do my homewok though. brian
