We decided to move camp locations to near Afton. We have been in elk everyday since then! Good times. What people don't tell you is the elk country here is steep as a cow's face!
I wish that I would have put a judo tip in my quiver and bought a small game license. There are sage grouse/pine hens (I don't know the difference- they're both delicious) everywhere. We've probably seen 30 of those meals on wings walking around!
Anyone know what this could be? It was near a creek, but not near enough that ot would have washed out. The nails are the old style and the lumber was 2 inch...whoever built it did some good work for it to still be together this long.
I had no idea it was this pretty up here. Gorgeous country! We took this pic 3 miles back into a long hike! Weve seen some elk and heard a few bugles...we did see a really nice bull last night back in here, so we're gonna see if he comes back out tonight.
We are back on the road! We might be setting camp in the dark, but that'll be fine. I can't believe how much cooler the weather is in Northern Utah compared to Southern Utah.
Well, that oil is coming from a big hole in the block of my son's truck. Luckily, we have good friends who are on their way to rescue us. This will set us back a few hours, but we are still determined to make it up to Wyoming today!
We are off on our adventure this morning! We left Southern Utah before the sun came up. I kissed the wife goodbye and got on the road. I thought you guys might enjoy a few pics of our view as we were leaving the house.
it's going to be a great day today! We hope to have camp set in time for a...
Alright gents, here we go. Two of my sons and I are leaving tomorrow morning for the 7 hour drive to western Wyoming for our first out of state elk hunt. I want to tell everyone thank you for the awesome stories, pictures, and knowledge that has made this trip a possibility. We've hunted elk...
Hey all,
I wanted to update you on my wife's bear tag. She hunted for four days and decided that she wanted to go back home because she missed the grandkids. I'm hoping to talk her into going back out to chase a particular bear that was hitting the bait. We'll see what she decides. Here...
Drew a Utah CWMU deer tag
Wife has a bear tag that starts Saturday in Utah
Son drew a Wyoming general tag - super excited about this one!
Waiting to hear if I drew a Wyoming tag too
Waiting to hear if I drew Idaho or not.
This has been one of my favorite moments of this hunt. Our 15 year old is 100% bought in to helping his mom get a bear. We hung tree stands this week and he was a huge help. I hate to admit it, but getting older and hanging onto tree steps dont go together. I am super grateful to have a young...
As y'all can see, the country my wife is hunting is spectacular. We've had a great time camping and baiting so far. There are two smaller bears hitting one of the baits. A young black colored bear and a snow cinnamon colored bear. With the rut starting, we are hoping the board start showing up soon!
