Well after 18+ years of putting in for the hard to draw areas, San Juan, Monroe, Pahvant and Beaver units hopping to draw a tag for a chance at a monster bull, decided to lower my standard and have a better chance to draw a tag because I’m not getting any younger, my nephew and put in for the late Wasatch unit and we finally got lucky drawing tags. After hearing we drew tags I was disappointed to be honest, think we made a bad decision. Then the stress began, crap November hunt, it’s freezing up there in November and there could be feet of snow up there, We do not know the area that well either. So we did 4-1/2 days of scouting and seen only one cow with a spike. We were discouraged to all get out, then the night before the opener we seen a nice 5 point with a few small bulls and some cows. Is this our area we said? Guess what, it turned out to be our spot. Opening day Robbie seen the 5 point again and was able to get a few shots off at it missing it thankfully because as we were leaving the area at almost dusk we seen two nice bigger bulls, one nice 6×5 that Robbie dropped, of course the other bull got away without a shot at it because …….. well let’s say I had technical difficulties with my gun and ammo. So the next morning we go back to our spot and we seen sooo many elk it was nuts. Turned out the other big bull was in the heard and I was able to finally drop it after …… well a few shots we will say. I was hopping for 340+ bull because this will likely be my last time to draw a tag but I settled for a respectable 6 point. What a great hunt and time spent with Trevor who tagged along with his dad because he knew it was my last big elk hunt I love you and thanks for your help. Robbie and his boy Carson are awesome spotters and the best people to hunt and camp with. Thanks for all your help!!! And special thanks to our awesome hunting from kSL. XOXOXO

My 2025 general rifle buck. Me and my son Zeke covered some serious country in the last week from 10,000 feet down to 6,000 feet and everything in between, glassing till my eyes hurt. We went 4 days without seeing anything bigger than a two point. On our last morning to hunt we came around a corner on the sxs and this buck was standing right off the side of the four wheeler trail we were on. I lost my dad to a long 16 year battle with cancer in August so the hunts have been tough for my family this year but I believe my dad put that deer there for us because there were people everywhere and we happen to be the ones in the right spot at the right time, one 40 yard shot and it was all over. Fun week with just me and my oldest son. Memories I’ll always remember.

My dad drew a late season muzzleloader deer hunt and mentored it to me and on the second to last night I filled my tag. Best hunt ever.

Harvested my biggest buck this year right at dusk. Setting was too perfect not to capture!
