"With a general "spike bull" permit, can I hunt in any "spike bull" area or does the permit specify the unit? Should I go with the "any bull" in order to stay in the northern section of the state? "
[#400080]Its great that you are involving your kids in hunting. Some great advice has already been given.[/#400080]
[#400080][/#400080]
[#400080]With a spike permit, you can only hunt in open "spike" units. Spike hunts will give you your best chance at killing an elk. However, most hunts are marginal (for harvest) at best.[/#400080]
[#400080][/#400080]
[#400080]Make sure to start applying yourself and your sons for Limited Entry hunts. Building bonus/preference points is a must.[/#400080]
[#400080][/#400080]
[#400080]Also, look into applying for the youth only elk hunt.[/#400080]
[#400080][/#400080]
[#400080]If you apply and draw a Northern Permit, let me know and I can give you some areas to try.[/#400080]

[#400080]Our management in Utah has some serious issue but with a little research and work, you can still have a great hunt. Good luck.
