October Utah Elk Hunt
















I hunted this year with my nephew Jim at Scofield Lake.  There were 6 of us hunting.  The night before the hunt we had a nice dinner.  Opening morning I was able to sneak up on 2 big bulls that were fighting.  Each had about 10 cows.   After watching them for a few minutes they moved off and another big bull came in with 5 cows and a spike.  I had a spike tag, so when he came into a clearing I shot him.  I was on the side of a steep mountain so we had to drag him downhill about 2 miles.  Then the next day Jim's friend Robert shot a spike (above picture) that we had to drag downhill about a mile or more.  We all got a great workout on that hunt.
