No hunting in Utah. I’m very interested in a big horn hunt next year year in Utah. Getting a non resident big horn permit is difficult. We hunted wild boar in west Texas last week. Night hunting. It was my first time hunting with night vision equipment. Hogs are non-protected. As such they can be taken at will with a land owner’s permission. It was a good time. I want to get back there again before May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received the handbook and application material. I looked it over briefly and I don’t quite get it. They use a drawing/lottery system. Seasoned hunters get to go to the front of the line, but their are some provisions for first timers. I need to find out more about those provisions because they’re not outlined in the handbook.

I drove through Valley of Fire state park in nevada back in december. There were huge Big Horn rams right next to the road. The park is closed to hunting but everywhere leading in to and out of the park is open for hunting. We saw a dozen sets of hunters on our ride through the park. This is red rock territory for sure. Absolutely rugged terrain. Very much like southern Utah. Im sure it would be easier to get a sheep tag in Nevada rather than Utah. Its for sure worth a look. A few pics of Valley of Fire. Its close to the southwest corner of Utah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going across I-70 back in the early 80's ( when 70 was a 2 lane road ) I got some nice close up pics of big horns fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
