Need Hunt Help!! - Any advice welcomed!

Roy · Jul 30, 2012

So, I am looking for some honey-hole advice, I want a guaranteed sure thing trophy spike elk from the Bookcliffs region of Northeastern Utah. I am not too familiar with the area, but I think I can find it on a map. Let me know what I need to prepare, what caliber I should use, what techniques I should use, exact GPS coordinates, trail cam pics, and how soon after first light on opening morning I should expect to have my my trophy spike on the ground! Any help will be appreciated, but not necessarily paid for, thanked (except in advance), or reciprocated.

I WILL be there October 5th - October 11th, so I don't have a lot of time to prepare nor time to come out and scout so I am really looking for all of you to do the work for me - it would even be nice to have the trailer leveled and the fire burning when I get there. So just let me know what YOU are going to do for me to help me have a successful hunt!

HOOK 'EM!

I thought it was another FNG post but you didn't misspell anything and you used a big word like reciprocated.
Good luck on your trophy spike hunt!

Why don't you ask your Sis. She could do all that for you and even shoot the spike and field dress it for you. Then she would tell everyone you may have the book smarts, but still need her to hold your hand while hunting.

P.S. We expect you have the meat in the freezer after opening day. Good luck!!!

Gonna Re-Fresh you Roy with a Trip to the Book Cliffs last Fall!

I went out there last November to look at the Bucks!

Weather was still good & Deer were bedding by 10:00 AM!

So I decided to burn the middle of the day out on top looking for Elk!

Seen 4 different Herds!

Not one damn Spike left!

Each Herd had one Raghorn in them!

No,I'm not sayin there ain't any Spikes,just sayin I do believe they've wiped quite a few of them out!

I'll get my Ass Ripped by c3 & HJB for even mentioning it but that's OK!

Guess I'm just a PISS POOR Hunter when I can't come up with at least one Spike!

Good Luck!

You'll find him!

What's the Chance of throwing me a Bone?(A Steak!)

Ate my last Bear Rib yesterday & a Fresh Elk Steak is sounding Good!

All these Perty little Western Belles are a Country Boys Dream!
They ain't got Wings or MM Halo's but they sure look good to me!

I can't help you on this one but if you are looking for an urban Miley hunt after daylight hours I already posted pics and can send you the GPS.

Roy · Jul 31, 2012

LAST EDITED ON Jul-31-12 AT 08:03AM (MST)[p]Sorry .45. I don't want any pics you have taken of Miley Cyrus at night. (maybe lay off 'Ol dad's cough syrup a little will ya??!! Or at least turn off autocorrect!)

LMBO!!

Bess - yeah, Mom is pretty pleased with her buck. She passed it up twice though before she finally decided to put him down.

Here are some pics, we were going to post an HAC for her last year, but between Jenn and I we just got too busy. Anyway, here are some of the better pics.

In the field - (cell phone camera pic)

Mandatory tailgate pic:

After "the work" was done:

Happy lady!:

6X4 - 28 1/2 inches wide - Lots of trash and character:

Forget Mossback, take your Mom! Very well done indeed.

Is Jenn going? You know, to cook and do laundry, etc?

I think it'll be mandatory that Jenny goes!

I'm sure the Soreness of the Martha Stewart Cutting Board has wore off & Roy will put Jenny & Her Tools to work!

LAST EDITED ON Jul-31-12 AT 08:51PM (MST)[p]Well, somebody has to work them dutch ovens and gather that fire wood! They don't call it "widow's wood" for nothing!

LOL - yeah the whole famdamily will show up. And don't worry about the distribution of labor. Everybody pitches in their fair share. Jenn might actually get a tag too.
