26 year wait - Utah elk hunt

[The Hedgehog]

It’s a long time to wait. One crazy & amazing 4 day scouting trip in, a world record 6 weeks usage of google earth and shameless messages and phone calls to locals and previous hunters. Should be a fun time - supposedly the best public land elk hunt in the US today. I’m excited for some crazy elk action.

Another legendary thread has been born.....

Can't wait to see what happens when the green cans get flowing.

2 bows. Never have I felt like i needed a spare bow on a hunt in the case of some mishap.

Good luck!

I disguise the ATV as a birdwatcher’s vehicle. That Honda is 31 years old. Hopefully I’ll be strapping a large bull onto it for the first time.

The beaver sticker was put on ATV in 2019 while passing through for an AZ antelope hunt. I’ve applied beaver early rifle for several years. Wanted to hunt this year and switched to archery - 1:1 bull cow ratio and 8.3 year old avg bull harvest age. Can’t be bad.

Very much looking forward to looking deep into the eye of whatever bull you end up killing…

Definitely following along. That would be an awesome trip to even just tag along on since the reality of actually hunting it are slim.

Its utah, so hat selection will be key: got your flat brim hat ready bro? Make sure you can tuck your ears in!

Good luck! Maybe read some of Cam Hanes’ writing before the hunt to get you motivated.

I take credit for alerting @Greenhorn of the availability of a bonus permit for NRs in last year’s drawing.
