Today Weasel and I are heading out of town to get a little closer to our Cow Elk hunting area.  We will spend the night and only have about a half hour drive to get to the Deseret Land and Livestock Ranch, where our elk hunt takes place.

We have hired us a guide to help with bagging and tagging!

Our goal is to have both elk down and back to the rig for the drive home by noon tomorrow!  Wouldn’t that be a kick in the……..

If we hunt all day and don’t bag our animals, the Ranch says we will have one more day this month to make another attempt.

The weather forecast is calling for a Winter Storm Watch, which means SNOW!  And then the temperature drops to around zero at the Ranch!  Highs in the mid 20’s…that will seem very cold to our bodies, considering we have been basking in low 40 temps for over a month.  Our plan is to wear our ice fishing clothing and be ready to shoot our elk very close to the road!  (smiley face)

Well, this story had been published before I got a call from the DLL Ranch guide.  Because of the impending storm and the fact that the previous two storms caused them to have 0% success, they have opted to cancel tomorrows hunt and reschedule it for this Thursday.  More will come on Wednesday.
