Last year all the outfitter's guided hunters took mature bucks from 24 to 29 inches wide. Several had extra points. He expects to do well again this year for a few reasons. For example, one of his ranches, which used to be available

We have openings in Utah for semi-guided as well as guided hunts on private property. An East Canyon property is open to four hunters during the first four days of the season and four hunters during the last four days of the season. There is some limited hunting by the landowner's family. A guide will show you around the property and will show you how to hunt. The hunt is $2,000 and does not included lodging or meals. You can camp on the property or rent wall tents from the outfitter. Guides are available for $300 per day with a minimum of three days, and the guide can be shared by two, three or four hunters. The outfitter is offering two guided hunts on a piece of property that produced a Boone and Crockett typical in 2007. This property has yielded a buck over 190 in three of the last five years. The guided hunt is $5,000 a person with two hunters per guide for four days. This area tends to improve as the season progresses because deer move onto the land from bordering public land. You cannot expect to see a 190 buck, but great deer do live in the area. I glassed this ranch for one day during the season in October and saw about a dozen bucks bucks. I've hunted the property once (in 2004) and shot a beautiful mature four-pointer the only day I had available.

Chuck Johnson of Hunts.Net got this buck in October 2007. His taxidermist has measured it and thinks it will net above 190 B&C and make the record book. Chuck killed a buck that scored in the high 170s the last time he hunted this property in 2004.
