Ok......... I know that alot of guys get on here and hope to get advice on where to go on the extended! and here is the gods honest truth!!!!!!!!
If you want to know where to go just look at the boundaries and get out there and investigate for your self. The chances are that no one is going to give away their honey hole or even lead you near their honey hole.. NOT TO MENTION>>>One mans honey hole may be completely dead one day and hot the next.... You just never know on the wasatch front....IT IS REALLY HIT OR MISS UP THERE!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact of the matter is...You need to be willing to kike your tail off.. especially for the elk...... I have several spots that ONE DAY MAY HAVE A TON OF ELK IN THEM AND THEN THE NEXT DAY HAVE NONE.. The truth is that....... IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE ELK...THEY MOVE AROUND A TON AND WHEN I SAY A TON.......I MEAN A TON.. There is TONS of country up on the Wasatch Front and the animals can travel at least 10x as fast as we can. Most of the time a guess is just as good as some other guys advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly could tell everone on this forum spots to go........ and you may go up there AND SEE A 180 -200 CLASS BUCK OR A 340-360 CLASS BULL.. and then the next day not see shit. So the truth is.....you have just as good of odds going up there trusting your instincts and picking a spot to go yourself, rather than listening to some guys advice on this forum.
I am not trying to be an A$$ H0(3,... I am trying to help.... Your odds of stumbling across an elk or a good buck are the same no matter where you go. That is the great thing about the wasatch front... you never know what you are going to come across while hiking up there.
I do however encourage everyone on here to share their experiences and stories.. just to keep us all motivated. Because the wasatch front will kick your @ss before you kick its @ss and any motivation helps.
I WISH EVERY WASATCH FRONT HUNTER OUT THERE THE BEST OF LUCK AND CANT WAIT TO HEAR THE STORIES/PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. My son just put the smack down on a great buck yesterday... story and pic to follow. :thumb
Take the appropriate actions and do everything possible to eliminate one variable and wash your clothes and yourself using scent killing products.
You need to move quietly, use your binoculars, and hope for a little luck.
Good luck to you all. :thumb

PS2 Field and Stream hunting game... :))
90th south and state street let me know how you do!
I now have something to go on. And I appreciate the help greatly. Of course I would not tell just anyone where my favorite spots to hunt are. But if someone that has helped me out needed some info I would share.
I hunt the Cache. We have some great elk hunting up here if you are lucky enough to draw. I can generaly find bulls. I would help a guy out if he had the chance to hunt for them.
Good luck to all you guys that are still out there trying to find the big one.
The Front just isn't what it used to be 8+ years ago. You used to see huge muleys all the time. They are still there but not as many.
amen brother =D> If every Tom, Dick and Harry couldn't hunt it, i think everyone would be more helpful, but like mentioned earlier it takes a ton of time and effort to find these so called "honeyholes" and to come on here expecting that is BS.
Like Zrider2 has said, get a map, find some trails up Big or Little cottonwood canyon and start exploring lots of country to be seen up there
good luck all the rest of the season

Don't ruin the extended for the rest of us. It is already been in Jeopardy several times.
