Utah Extended Archery Elk Hunt (Sanpete County)

Hey Muley Madness Crew,

Long time spectator first time instigator here in the forums. I was wondering if anyone could provide some information for me on an extended archery tag my brother has. I am traveling out there to help him with the hunt but not sure were to take him. He hasn't been able to hunt since he got back from a tour in Afghanistan so I want to try and help him hook up. He has mentioned the Spring City Area, but I have no idea what to do. I left the state 10 years ago so I don't have a good bead on locations any more.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Lots and Lots of private property on that extended unit… I don’t know how much is accessible or if there is an option to pay a trespass fee? ](*,)

I could never figure why the DWR stuck this extended hunt in this area… I think someone must have donated a lot of $$$$.... lol Someone’s in bed with somebody on this one! :-$

Yeah, my brother initially had access to some private ground, but that has since fallen through so we are pretty well screwed I think. He seems to think there are sections of public that are accessible, but I have no idea.

I appreciate the input.

I live just to the north of this unit, could be on it in 10 minutes and have never messed
with it. It was put in place to help keep trouble some bulls out of Sanpete valley and has
worked for the most part. But land owners have gotten very fussy over trespass fees.
Very,very little public ground, Spring City would be a good spot IF you gain access.
There are the two public WMAs just south of there, but the elk have not stayed there
long the last few years , they just seem to pass right through there.

It's a matter of knowing where the public is and catching the elk on it. They move around a lot and it takes some experience with the hunt to figure them out. The hunt was made to keep the elk off the highway and it's very effective.
