I am new to the forum but drew the Alta rifle tag and have never hunted the area.  I would sure appreciate any advise on where to scout and then hunt for the Nov. 1 -19 dates.  Thanks

Hunt low, and where the does are. The bucks will be following the does as they migrate down.

My boss at work drew this tag along with the other 4 guys in his party including 1 nonresident.  Talk about lucky, the group of 5 got tags.

Kelly if you want to come with us and shoot the pics. You could do a first hand write up. (and help pack some meat, hopefully)
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

Sounds like a plan. Let me know when you guys plan your first scouting trip. Oh, and send some of your drawing luck my way for next year!

Check out the thread a couple of years ago on Bone's Alta hunt.  Very instructive.  If I remember correctly, he started low and then worked higher and higher each day until he got into the migrators...  Good luck!
