Actually,  if its the rifle hunt youll want to hunt low.  The deer in the Book Cliffs all transition towards wintering grounds the first part of October.  Good luck.  Ironhead is right about seeing lots of bucks.  50 to 60 a day is the norm.  Dont let your expectations get too high though. If you like road hunting youll fit right in.

Lots of bucks - just not a lot of big bucks.  That is probably what he meant.   I guess you could say that about anyplace, though.   :chuckle:

I wouldn't turn the tag down - that is pretty awesome country!

14 points is good, that is why i transferred all of my resident points in Utah to non resident points when I moved a couple months ago. I will draw out alot quicker now. Book Cliffs is awesome country. Like some have said lots of Bucks, There are some real quality bucks but you have to get into the deep draws. So I would suggest that you make sure you are in shape.

Bone's tag was in the Ruby's in Nevada, not the Books in Utah.
Honestly I can't remember any talk on here about the Books but I could definitely be wrong.
