26 year wait - Utah elk hunt

[Point Creep]

I'm gonna save this quote " save the shit talk for elsewhere".
Good reminder.

Couple good things - after seeing better view of the Gov tag bull - not the bull I saw. Hearing different unit also.

Last week while hunting with @Spitz he told me he visited with his sons principle and told him he was coming hunting in Utah with me. Apparently the principle has a hunttalk acct and I once called him a dumbass. Allegedly he’s the nicest guy on earth. But maybe a dumbass.

Tonight was slow. Saw maybe a dozen bulls, mostly 6 points, 3 were 350 range, possibly more or less. Saw one bull with a cow. It’s starting to happen. Had lunch with the other nonresident who drew. Nice guy. He’s hunting this week before meeting up with a guide in a few days. His second elk hunt. He is going to be ruined forever.

I feel this is not rare.
Excited for the rest of this hunt! Good luck and shoot straight!

It’s probably more like I’m not looking for any honey holes but…..

So is the back entrance private?

If you have to ask then it’s for exit only.

Was Thursday the day? No update since Wednesday night so could he be working up the writing of an epic tale?

C'mon Beaver Hunter, whack a big one and tell us the rest of the story, please.

Hope this doesn’t turn into a BeaverHiker handle

@Beaver Hunter what chair are you using? Looking for a packable one myself

A light bulb just went off as I looked again at that chair in the tiny tent - @Beaver Hunter, formerly @Greenhorn is a tiny person. That is why all of the animals in his photos look huge. I can’t wait to see what a 350+ bull looks like with him posing beside it.

We can’t all be giant men like you @BAKPAKR, some of us are just 300” bulls our whole lives

I am going to stick with, “But, I am tall,” as being the reason all of my animals look small.

Cox for Beaver city commission - sounds like a shoe in.

I’ve been backpack hunting w/ poor reception. Out to recharge dry off and moving camp. Will report back when it’s done as I will likely be camped in for most the rest of it, closes in 9 days. Hunting and bull elk size on average is almost unbelievable. I don’t want to hex myself with details, as it’s a bow hunt and I’m being very picky. Odds are high I will come home without. I never ever thought I’d walk away from numerous 350+ caliber bulls while hunting. I also never thought I’d see numerous B&C caliber bulls in a single day. I found the place I want to spend the rest of the season in. Had a ridiculous evening of hunting yesterday. @Spitz shows up Tuesday.
