About a month back i sent information in to hunt of a lifetime which is a organization that grants disabled or terminally ill kids the hunt of their dreams if they meet their requirements. Since i am a disabled young hunter only being 19 I figured i'd give it a shot. I was recently notified that they want to send me on a all expense paid elk hunt in Utah at big canyon outfitters. I am happy beyond belief. You can't wipe a smile off my face
. I am going to be in contact with the outfitter again tomorrow to make the hunt date and really find out where they are located and get the specifics. When i called him back he was leaving to go to mexico deep sea fishing for a week. Must be nice! I was just wondering if anyone from here has ever hunted elk in utah before? What kind of hunting should i expect? Is the elk herd there flourishing? What kind of terrain does utah offer? Thanks if anyone could help me out i'd be grateful. I'll keep you all posted after i talk to the outfitter again. Thanks.
I was just in contact with the outfitter. It sounds like a awesome deal. They have 10,000 acres which is small by western standards i guess. My hunt is going to be 5days consisting of spot and stalk with the help of a polaris ranger to do the spotting, and hunting over water holes. The guide claims they are still bugling at that time of the year. The outfit only takes 3 or 4 hunters a year and the quality is supposed to be great. He said the bulls they take are all 5 or 6 point bulls. He claims all the hunters take their bulls usually within the first 2 or 3 days of the hunt.The terrain is mainly mountainy but trails give them access to the whole ranch with the rangers. I can't wait this sounds like a awesome trip. I am going to be in contact with the outfitter again here very soon to make some more arrangements.
I won a Utah Elk hunt!
