I have a CWMU elk tag on Deseret in December, then a Montana Deer trip, no tag for me, just chasing birds and being the camp bitch which is still better than working and or sitting at home.I miss guiding on Deseret, had a lot of fun doing that back in the late 80s and 90s. They have changed a lot since the church has leased the hunting operations out to a private group. You can hardly watch an outdoor hunting show filmed in Utah that is not filmed on the ranch, I think Lee and Tiffany even have a hunting lease on it. Just like everything else, too commercialized. I'm glad I was able to experience it before all this took place. I have an annual hunt booked for geese in eastern WY. the end of Jan. and a sandhill crane hunt booked the first part of Jan. near Lubbock TX. Plus I always take 3 or 4 trips a year to MT. Home Id. to hunt birds. I still spend time with John C. on several of our hunts who is a LT. on the police force now.
