Got home yesterday. I could show pics of of empties, but my 9 yr old is still fuming me and his 14yr old brother missed a chip shot, twice each. We are now "going to tge range to learn how to shoot better". 9 yr Olds are brutally honest.
Few take aways:
1. Hunter who died last year on the N. Slope got found, closure for a family.
2. Its a miracle this entire state isn't actively burning. I've never seen dust at 9800 ft during a elk hunt in Uintas. The Mantis was just as bad muzzy hunting.
3. I hope they never ban atv/sxs. The Uintas were packed. Dudes running around everywhere. Yet as usual, a simple 1/4 mile walk from the road and you have the place to yourself.
4. Rumors of big black dogs running around seem to be less and less rumor all the time.
5. Newbies. Good on guys for trying. Congrats to them. But the N. Slope aint a great place to learn, which im sure all of them learned. Along with learning 2/3 of what Elk 101, Newberg, Born and Raised "taught" them was not real useful either. Im glad it was a warm year, that many newbies running around on a usual nasty weather year would have been dangerous.
