That sure is some nice country. I drove through Utah a couple of weeks ago. Really nice.( Missed my elk hunt for my daughters wedding.) I guess I never though of it as having that kind of country.
My family and I stopped for a late breakfast one day and saw that someone had gotten an elk and had it in the back of their truck. I had to go take a look.
Nice elk, made me wonder about the hunting in the area.
Unfortunately it was probably approaching 90 degrees at the time and the elk still had the skin on and was partially underneath the ATV. It was there when we pulled in and still there when we left maybe an hour later. Might not be so tasty.
Anyway I just thought it was interesting to see an elk on the trip and then see a posting of elk hunting in Utah on Tradgang.
Congratulations on your hunt.
