Title: Wasatch Muzzy Elk Utah
Post by: SnakeEyes on July 24, 2013, 11:21:19 AM: My hunting buddy drew Wasatch Muzzy Elk this year. Anyone on here hunted this unit before? Looking for tips. This will be my big hunt for the year. I will be calling and hopefully packing for him.

Thanks

It can, however, be very brushy and steep depending on where you are hunting. It is a very large unit. Some of it, between American Fork and Heber City, is very rugged wilderness.

But like anything you can get away. It's pretty steep country and can still be really warm. Was in the 80s everyday besides like 2 days. Pm me your number and a good time to call and I will hook you up with a few good spots. Kenny

You will see a lot of 250 to 300ish bulls, but I wouldn't shoot anything less than a 320. There is a chance for 350 to 380 class bulls but that size is pretty tough to find. I do know of two mid 380's bulls that have been killed in the area we hunt. Here are a couple bulls we've taken. You guys should have a great hunt, good luck.

From what I am seeing on the maps and regs it is called the Wasatch unit. I am still researching and learning. Looks like a lot of area to check out.

Thanks
