Day 2- 9-2014
Big breakfast and yes bacon was included. Backpacks finalized and loaded then to store for roll of black plastic to protect the rental and misc. needs. Then off to shoot bows and check they didn't get knocked off from the 2000+ mile plane ride. All that done was then off to the Mountain for some serious Utah exercise. Parked car at approximately 7000ft in elevation then hiked for 2 Hours to 8500ft elevation. That like Hiking from Caldwell County line to Blowing Rock.
Pin on map marks cars location then trail on right to top of ridge where the view was spectacular but required a lot of sweat and hard breathing by two old NC boys.
Then we met Cory and a friend on top from Utah who were bow hunting Moose on a once in a lifetime tag. They had spotted 4 Moose and had one at 5 yards but passed as it just didn't measure up for a once. Got some info on Elk and Deer areas to hunt tomorrow and a ride down the mountain in their UTV. Awesome guys !!!Much appreciated at that point. Back at trail head we spotted a fresh Mountain Lion Kill about 30 yards from the vehicle and it was a fascinating sight that close to people and a road. Thats a mules deers legs sticking out from under the leaf pile...its how Mtn Lions cache their next meal. Were off to hunt Cottonwood Canyon tomorrow ..more to follow
