Elk Hunt in Utah

Aaron, his parents and brother just returned from a week of Elk hunting in NE Utah on the Deseret Ranch. As you can see from the pictures it was a successful hunt and we will be enjoying some good eating soon. Aside from the actual harvesting of the animals, the overall experience was indescribable. We saw (and heard) lots of elk each day - sometimes 30 at a time. Since it was the rut, the elk were constantly bugling and herding their cows. There were also multiple fights between competing bulls that were also witnessed by us. The accomdations were outstanding and the people were great. We also spent lots of time hiking up and down the mountains, so we definitely got our exercise. The scenery was also enjoyable with the aspens and maples changing colors. We also saw antelope, mule deer, moose, and a porcupine. This was the experience of a lifetime.
