Book Cliffs Scouting Trip July 27th

This will be the first of a series of posts documenting my Book Cliffs Bittercreek Bull Elk Hunt. Brent Fenn and I put 100 miles on the four wheelers Sunday July 27th riding around the Book Cliffs. We spotted lots of Buck Deer - however the largest was around 25". Most of the Bucks were 4 points with a less than 20" spread. The majority of the time was spent based out of the divide. In the AM hours we went toward Colorado and in afternoon rode to the Roadless area. We counted approximately 50 bucks.

We seen around 15 elk - all of which were cows. After talking to some others in the area we learned there were some smaller rag bulls around but nothing to brag about.

We also spent some time during lunch at P and R Springs.
