Hi All !! I just wanted to follow up and say thanks to some great guys in Utah. My Son and I got to hunt bull elk together and better yet have the chance to be together and learn some new country and different hunting methods in the rut. Spent 2.5 day scouting the western part of the state and saw some huge bulls but in private land. Decided to move east and hunt the Red Cloud loop for a couple of days in the rain and cold, Sunday morning was a soaker. We saw a few elk on the opener Sat. and not much after that. The elk didn't seem to be talking where we were at so locating them was hard. It had been a long time since I did the pecker pole dance with all the blowdown and trees, we just don't get that in Nevada much! Everybody we meet was fantastic, a guy name Tom north a Vernal even offered to bring us up a battery for Sunday as our side by side moan a bit starting one time ( thats truly unheard of). We decided to work our way back toward home and hunt the Western part of the state. We went out Tuesday Morning of the youth hunt and it was wet nasty and windy. We called in the rain and hunkered down, we called a bull in, heard the crash of timber breaking and never saw him but cut the track on a ridge. We were so busy fighting the rain and wind that we may have let our guard down. We were disappointed but really had some great hunts. A big Thank You to Paul and Dillon for the help, it make it a little easier to sleep at night wondering what you have got yourself into on a two man out of state elk hunt. The people of Utah were Great every where we went. I hope all hunters can accept that we all one day may hunt an out of state tag and we can show some courtesy to each other as the out of state hunters have their work cut out for them. I would have posted sooner but life really kicks in gear when you get back from a hunt, Oh boy !!! Hope to get some pics up.
