Opening day of the deer hunt - wiperhunter2 - 10-23-2022

Ira and I got up to the Wasatch unit yesterday for the deer hunt. The day started out great with clear blue skies but by 10:30 am the weather changed and it started snowing. Nothing much to report but a couple of pics I took of this odd tree, here are the front and back views, has anyone ever seen a tree like this?

Bummer no critters were found. What elevation are you hunting? Judging from all the art work on it, seems lots of people have seen a tree like that. Ha

Oh, we found a few deer, 5 to be exact, three does and two bucks. Not sure of the exact elevation but it's higher than Strawberry, likely above 9,000 ft. Yes, I'm sure plenty of people have seen this tree, I was just wondering if anyone had ever seen a tree like it, with five trunks coming out of one base, it was the first one I had ever seen.

Did you see anything that would lead you think the elk have started moving lower into winter grounds yet? I'm assuming they are still hanging in the high country.

Not while we were there but depending on how much it snowed up there, anything is possible. We did see a herd of elk up on top, while we were glassing.

Trees get heavy snow.

Just returned from the deer hunt in Northern Utah. My hunting partner this year bagged a nice 3 point which should eat good since it spent all summer in the hay fields gorging itself. Probably seen over 3 dozen 2 points this year. all in good shape. snow was a welcome site and definitly helped. I chose to let them all grow for the next year or two. I most likely will not draw a tag for a few years with how things are in Utah. But, it was a great time and enjoyed seeing so many bucks.
