Hunt Testimonal from Rick Miller, 2016 Wasatch Elk Tag
Hey Shane,
I did want to write a short testimonial regarding our Trophy Elk Hunt. We had been putting in for 16 years and I am thankful that it finally all came together. I put in with my brother Mark and our friend Jon Peery. Mark and I flew out because of time restraints and Jon and his 2 sons drove and pulled a trailer for our gear and weapons, and we were hoping also to need room for the meat and antlers.
Corey was my guide. Corey was extremely familiar with the area. The first morning I wore way too many clothes, carried too much gear and stretched myself too far, not being used to the steep terrain. My knees are pretty bad and now that the hunt is over, I’ll be having knee replacement surgery soon. Corey made adjustments to make my life easier and he was very patient with my slower pace. I did everything he wanted me to do and went everywhere he wanted me to go, just at a slower pace and with the help of walking sticks.
In 6-1/2 days of hunting, I saw around 40 cow elk and 6 bulls. At least 3 bulls were shooters. I think I ended up with the best one that I saw, by killing it in the snow on the 7’th morning, a 7 x 7. We got lots of help from the other guys at camp and the other guides, since the other 2 guys had already harvested their bulls.
All in all, it was a great experience. The guides, accommodations and food were all great. None of the guides would touch a bit of food until all 5 of us guests were served. Of course, the guides used their own trailers for housing us, and “wheelers” to get us around, everything was 1’st class. I would be glad to recommend them and your guide service to anyone else!
Thank you for your work behind the scenes to put this team together for us.
Rick Miller
