first elk ever

Ok. This will be my first elk hunt ever. And du to some crazyness I really haven't had a chance to scout. But I have a general season bull tag. Sorry. {I live in vernal utah} I moved here about 3 weeks ago. And don't know anyone or any areas. Iv been told there are some big bulls outhere. But don't know the first place to even start looking. Any help would be great. Thanks.

if you live in vernal you are already pretty much there the south slope of the uintas are your best best.and they are right in your backyard .just head up in the hills and start looking for tracks and sign.

There is some really nice bulls right there on the south slope. I hunted up Uintah canyon by U-bar ranch last year and there were Elk all over! If you do decide to go up that way you just have to be careful to make sure you don't cross onto the Indian land but there are some nice bulls up there. My buddy shot a 350 bull opening morning last year by U-bar ranch.

I live in southern Utah and am traveling up to vernal for my general any bull hunt. You are lucky you are already there. Maybe if you hunt there we'll bump into eachother and can help one another out? This is actually my 2nd elk hunt but did not even see "anything" my first. I'm right there with ya. Good luck to you
