e  had a very successful 2009 mule deer season with some very nice animals being harvested.  There was really no change in weather to report during the season. It was a dry and warm season. We had a 100% success rate with eight hunters taking eight deer.

The first day of elk season met us with a foot of fresh snow.  While it was snowing it made the hunting difficult due to lack of visibility, but when the weather cleared the elk were moving and screaming their heads off in full rut.  This made them a joy to hunt and offered us a chance to harvest some real trophies.
 
There were three archery hunters this year and they harvested two nice bulls. Eighteen rifle hunters shot fifteen elk making it an 83% kill rate with 100% shot opportunity.

"We made the trip home without problems, took a little over 12 hours. I grilled some tenderloins (marinated in Italian Dressing) last night, GOOD STUFF! I am getting the rest of the meat processed into roasts, cube steak, and burger, I cut the loin steaks up myself. Thanks again for everything, we had blast!" Craig Unser
