Utah LE Trifecta

[justismi28]

Man, this almost makes me want to stick in the deer pool. Next year will be my first year applying for deer after 14 years in elk, followed by 2 in antelope. The thought of getting my LE 'trifecta' is neat, especially with a muzzleloader, but the thought of another decade + out of the elk pool is hard to swallow. Congrats to all those that have done it!

I nearly did the regular trifecta in 2020 with my archery bull, and LE muzzleloader antelope. On the deer hunt, I had opportunity to shoot some smaller bucks, but couldn't find a bigger one or justify a meat buck with a freezer full already. Though I did have to steady my finger a couple times on smaller two points later in the hunt as I wanted that trifecta.

Those are some impressive animals to boot! That is pretty amazing (with some great draw luck) to accomplish that all by age 23. I just drew my LE elk tag this past fall with 21 points, so now I need to move on to deer or pronghorn.

That's an awesome accomplishment by your daughter!! I'm sure you had every bit as much fun as she did. I've been able to put my oldest in for the hunts the last 2 years and my next boy will be able to apply this year. I hope we can have half the luck you guys have had drawing tags.

I'm 2/3 on the trifecta, but I don't know if I'll ever get at LE deer tag unless I get really lucky. I got a nice bull elk in 2013 with my rifle. I got lucky that year and drew the Manti premium tag. In 2015 I drew a Plateau antelope muzzy tag and got a decent speed goat. I'm back in the elk pool now hoping I can draw a tag before I die.

that is awesome! I havent been that lucky but I have had a bit but im afraid it might have ran out! I had a LE deer tag in 2005, LE elk in 2015 (killed a deer, elk and turkey in 2015) and another EXPO LE elk tag in 2018
