billrquimby Report post Posted January 11, 2011 Sweet pic. All I can say is look at all of thoughs sheds!!!!! If that is on the National Elk Refuge outside Jackson, which it probably is, every inch of that place is scoured each spring by hundreds of Boy Scouts. Eighty percent of the money from the auctioning of sheds goes to the refuge. The Boy Scouts keep 20% for their projects. I've not been up there when the elk are wintering there, but the photos of the place are amazing. If you go, be sure to check the wildlife art museum on the hill overlooking the refuge. It has some of the most amazing wildlife art you will ever see. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ultra300mag Report post Posted January 12, 2011 No that photo is not near Jackson Hole. They are photos from near Evanston Wyoming. The elk are part of the herd from Deseret, which is in Utah. They cross back and forth on the border this time of year. They have a feeding site on Deseret where you can go to see them. Great fun. There were several other photos in this group which actually shows the entering Evanston Wyoming sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markhunts Report post Posted January 12, 2011 ultra300mag is correct. I lived near this area for years. Deseret Land and Livestock has a CWMU unit. There are some tags that go on the draw to lucky hunters, and they sell several hunts that are in the 10,000 dollar range. As stated, the Ranch is in Utah, right on the Wyoming border. Several years ago while living in Wyoming, I was lucky enough to have a chance at a huge bull that had come out of the ranch and into Wyoming. I shot and missed the 370 class bull at 600 yards.. Oh to have had the rifle I shoot now, at the time.. I know the employees of the ranch usually pick up the sheds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had good friends -- Glenn and Faye Wadsworth -- who owned a ranch on the Wyoming side of the border there. There always were a few elk on their place and they sometimes had moose near their house. Another friend, Don Taylor, lived down the road at Fort Bridger. Did you know them? Glenn and Don have died, but Faye is still there. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markhunts Report post Posted January 15, 2011 Bill, I lived in Kemmerer, which was about 50 miles from the ranch, but spent alot of time there. I didn't know your friends. My friends, the Cornia's, live in Woodruff Utah which borders the ranch. All 3 of the boys work for Deseret guiding hunts and working their cattle for them.

My friends, the Cornia's, live in Woodruff Utah which borders the ranch. All 3 of the boys work for Deseret guiding hunts and working their cattle for them. I would bet your friends knew my friends well. Their ranches are on each side of the border at about the same place. We used to drive through Kemmerer on the way to South Pass and the Lander One Shot Hunt every year. We used to tank up on coffee and candy bars there during our marathon drives up from Tucson. We sometimes saw antelope from the service station/store's parking lot. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
