Good luck! Hope to see you behind a moose very soon! Hopefully I'll get my 1st elk in a couple weeks!
TEmbry nice on the antelope hunt in WY...even though you didn't get one getting one on DIY public with bow in the group is great! I am looking at doing this at some point and may ask for steps or advice. Good luck with Moose!
15 days until departure. I told my wife I was going to smoke weed around the campfire because it is legal out there. My oldest daughter is 15 and was close by and I think she laughed, puked and cried at the same time. I told them I was kidding, but I don't know if they believed me.
I have yet to see a pot shop. However when I talked to Will the other day he was parked across from one and he said the people going in and out of that thing looked um different.
Last time I drove through colorado, I was amazed at the lack of Taco Bells. Someone is missing out on a fortune.
I noticed the same last summer in my travels through CO. On a similar note, the first Taco Bell to start delivering late night will start a trend likely to double revenue. Seems like it has to be 1 am or later and you have to be intoxicated to actually want Taco Bell in the first place.
You didn't think that we actually go elk hunting did you? There is a reason elk camp continues to grow so much... Good stuff...15 days is fast approaching...
Be stateside in colorado in a few day ready to smell that nice rocky mountain air. See y'all soon. Good luck the first week
I'm sitting on my porch and glassing the mountains. I can see six cows/calves and a really nice bull. (Like 300"+) Makes me wish I would have bought an archery elk tag. The bull would be off limits in this unit but not the cows.
They were on the part of the mountain that burnt off. Fresh grass is growing there now. Easy to glass without the trees and brush. They were definitely at the limit of my 12x binocs. But I could tell the bull from the cows and when the sun caught the bulls antlers I could see they were long and wide. I may try to put a Covert cam up there and get him on film. But yeah, it's rough out here. Heh.
This unit is 'limited entry' for branch antlered bulls. So you have to put in for a couple years to pull a bull tag. So getting a tag is tough but there are quite a few 300-350" bulls around. You can pull a 'general season' any weapon tag or buy an OTC archery elk tag but then you can only take a cow/calf or spike. A few miles to the west of me is an 'any bull' unit. Which really means 'any elk'. I haven't spent much time in those mountains. Very rugged. About 15 miles east of me is an 'extended archery' elk unit. Regular archery elk season closes on Friday. Season will reopen in that unit in December. It's also an any bull unit but it's mostly private ground. Utah has some confusing rules but plenty of hunting opportunities.
