Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

Bill,

Normally I hunt in southern Utah. Last year I did a late season cow elk hunt in the Plateau, Boulder unit and the year before in the "Southern" deer unit and Salina Canyon for spike elk.

I decided with the cost of gas I'd hunt closer to home this year. I have a cow tag for the Chalk Creek, Private Lands unit (first time on that unit) and a "Northern" deer unit tag.

I hunted the opener between Bountiful and Francis peak and saw nothing but 5 ruffed grouse and one bull moose (about a billion other hunters!). I've got tomorrow off and will chase both buck deer and cow elk in the Chalk Creek range tomorrow and Saturday.

Then my hunting season is over for the year.
