Day 1

We arrived in Liberty Utah around 1 pm and an hour later we’re on top of a mountain in our spike camp. There are four wall tents and a cook tent. After messing around we decided to go out at 6. We each split up with our own guide. James and Castor with one, Marty with one me with a guy named Chris. Chris and I took off down a steep rock face off shale for a good half mile. It’s super hard to walk down steep mountains much less one that is made up of crushed rock. Once we got to the bottom we worked along the elk trails and creek. Sign was everywhere and just before dark I spotted a big bull about 60 yards up a hill. We crept around a bush and saw another one a bit closer. Problem was he was behind a bush at 40 yards. I stood motionless with my bow for a good 30 minutes but he just wouldn’t come out. Finally at dusk I walked out and he just watched me. Too much brush in the way fit a good shot. Meanwhile James and Castor found a bunch but he couldn’t get a good shot. Oh well, we’re up in 6 1/2 hours to get back at it. God Bless
