San Juan Elk Ridge

[sagebrush]

I-I-I-I can't believe it. I have been putting in for sixteen years. That's right, I drew an archery San Juan Elk Ridge bull elk tag. I have been down there a lot hunting deer but it was twenty years ago. It is a premium limited entry hunt. I had a friend go down there about 5 years ago with a tag. He had a blast and saw a lot of elk. This should be interesting. I will be taking a few pictures and will post about the hunt. YAAAAAAAHHHOOOOO!!!!!

Arguably one of the best elk tags out there. Congrats on the draw!! Don't be like some and let the pressure of having a great tag get to you! Enjoy! And good luck!

I drove into 76 several years back in the middle of the day, I saw bulls from the road and could hear them screaming. Give me a call if you want and I'll tell you where I was. Ran into a resident that was hunting in there that seemed to have done a lot of research and had focused on that spot. I'll be able to draw it when I become a resident next year.

I went scouting a couple of weeks ago. I figured you guys would like to see a few pictures.
   
This is a picture of the trail I was riding my bike on. Yes it was legal to ride it on the trail. There are a lot of trails in the Abajo Mountains that are open to motorcycles and four wheelers. They do not have a lot of traffic so the impact is small.

Here is a nice meadow I found.

There's plenty for them to eat.

A nice four wheeler road. There were a few broken parts on this trail.
 

I'm leaving this thurs. to hunt.  I will try to get some better pictures. These were taken with a broken cell phone camera. They turned out better than I expected.

Good luck!  That is a great tag and should make for some lifetime memories!
