No blood tracking via a dog in UT.


That’s a bummer

You'll find her, sounds like a good hit. I think you will have work to do in the morning

Guys, I tried. I tracked her for over 3 miles and she crossed In to Indian land.

I went out on Public land , I have never chased elk with a bow. this hunt even though I did not recover my cow, was a 100 percent successful hunt !

I proved to my self that I could get it done in a low success unit. it was hot, the elk were not talking and the odds were against me.

I located cows and hunted the canyons they were using to transition from feeding to bedding and was able to position my self to get an opportunity. Learning this about the area took more then a few days and what an experience.

Bottom line is if my shot placement was better I would have a freezer full .

I love Utah!

Stay tuned for the 2019 Utah elk hunt recap podcast.

Was this an OTC tag?

Thanks for the update man that sucks but you have a great attitude about it as I have lost a deer once. It’s a hard lesson and I felt terrible about it but I learned a lot for it too.

Damn...hate to hear.

 

[stikbrandon]

Thanks guys, it happened

Utah is rad.

I need to move here. One day when I can be like sprig and record podcast’s, shoot everything that moves and drink coffee any time of the day, I’ll be a resident of Utah.

Until then I’ll settle for a “moons over my hammy” at Dinny’s in Saint George.

Relish and enjoy the moments.
20-30 years fly by..
I was watching your hunt.
Tough break. On the cow.
There will be a next time..

 

[MAG 1]

Experience... well done

 

[HATCHET1]

Gonna happen ...exhausted effort , nice blog dude. I love utah, one of my best bucks came out of that beautiful state.

Thanks for sharing your hunt. It takes balls to post the play by play throughout the hunt without knowing what the outcome will be. It’s pretty cool that more SCHer’s are doing it lately.
Congrats on a successful hunt!!!

Archery hunting is not for the faint of heart. I would be lying if I said I haven’t lost an animal. With as far as she went I would hope someone shoots a cow some day and finds 6” of your arrow in its shoulder.
Good job man way to stay after it until the end.
