San Juan Elk Hunt
This may not look like an area that would produce the largest elk in the world...but it is. Utah and especially San Juan county is that place where the elk grow big and the herds are huge. It is not a matter of seeing a big bull to shoot but is one of waiting until just the right bull is seen. Just a little trivia on the San Juan - the bull to cow ratio if 2.1:1. There are more than two bulls for every cow and so it is not uncommon to see as many as 20 bulls in a morning.

The hunting unit ranges from areas above the treeline, to heavy and dense pine forest, to low desert with a range of trees including oak, juniper and pinion pine. There is plenty of water and much cover for huge herds of elk and deer.

More to come - stay tuned.
