Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me and gave me advice on this site. My dad, brother, and I had a blast. This was a much tougher hunt than I had anticipated, but that is what makes it rewarding. Although he is no monster I am happy with my Fishlake late season bull. I especially want to thank Spencer, Cody, and Mike. You guys were a tremendous help and I hope to return the favor one day.

Good looking bull Shane. Congrats on getting it done. Looks like he's got long thirds.

Congrats on all your preparation and hard work paying off with a great bull.

Nice!

Can you clue us in on your overall thoughts on the Unit?












I used to know of places worth Hiking in to for Elk & Deer!
Thanks to Illegal Bastards & the USFS not enforcing Rules you can Zing in to them Places on Wheelers now & not see a Damn thing!
But by GAWD it don't take long for them U-Tards to get there with all the Unethical BS and the New Technology!

Great thirds on that bull. Congrats. The reason we are talking about your bulls thirds. Is back when i shot my bull up there twenty years ago. Fish lake bulls where known to have weak third. Not the case with your bull. . Looks like you where down low. I am heading up on Friday .My two nephews have cow tags on east side of fish lake. What side where you hunting ? Did you see any big herds?

LAST EDITED ON Nov-18-13 AT 10:22PM (MST)[p]Thanks assassin. Well here are my thoughts. I think if you know the unit really well (better than I did) then you have a chance of getting a really nice bull. It was not an easy hunt. We saw 2 maybe 3 mature bulls in 6 days. The success rate over the last 2 years was 65% and 57% percent, pretty low as far as Utah LE's go. You have to figure some of those people are guided and I bet some really small bulls are shot as well. I will leave you with this thought. My brother was with me for the entire hunt and he has just enough points to draw this same hunt for next year. He has decided not to put in for it after coming on my hunt.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Does anybody know how the hunt was on the last Saturday and Sunday after the storms hit? Was it fogged in, did the snow and cold make the elk more active?

I had a totally different view of the Late Fishlake hunt. We saw over 70 different bulls on Thursday and Friday before the hunt. Then opening day we even seen more we hadn't seen. I just couldn't close the distance. I thought it was the funnest hunt I have been on. My dad is thinking about switching his points over to that hunt.

 

[schoolhousegrizz]

Should have followed you around! What side of the lake were you on. Did you see lots of mature bulls?

 

[T_Ball]

Over by rough canyon and Daniels. Ya a lot of them were mature bulls. But we seen them all around the mountains. Just a lot of glassing.

Congrats Grizz! In my experience, the tougher the hunt the fonder the memories. That bull was just the icing on the cake.


It's always an adventure!!!
