Hey Flatwater bill- this is that hunt they opened up this year that’s over the counter. The Ute tribe over by the book cliffs have a huge herd of bison that they don’t manage and a bunch have started coming onto public land- especially to winter.
the fish and game have tried everything and finally opened it to hunters. So this was over the counter in range creek! No points, just the cost of the $400 tag.
I think they’ll be doing it for another year or two. They sold 200 tags this year and harvested an estimated 90 bison I think? I’ve seen a few lunkers. We shot 2 (one big one that’s in the picture).
You should be getting close with 15 pts! Are you doing antelope island? That might take longer. But those bison are like cows. The herd in the book cliffs is wild and the Henry mtn bison are said to be one of the purest (genetically) herd in the US. And they’re wild there too.
you should be close to the Henry’s or the book cliffs id think
Henry’s was what I have applied for. I heard that there was an OTC tag this year, but did not research it. I’ll bet it was a tough hunt! I sure like the looks of that trophy. Again, we’ll done!.......FW. Bill
