Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	12.5 mile hike on Saturday from South Mesa which is about 8000 ft elevation near the LaSal mountains to Rill Creek which is in the 4000 ft range. There is a big difference in climates as you travel down. A lot of Elk and Mule deer sign on South Mesa and I was lucky to find a Elk antler shed which I carried for over 10 miles. Some of the trails had a lot of horse sign and you can see in the one photo why. Nice rock art panel about 2/3s of the way on the hike and weather was nice but a bit windy. On the drive back down the mountain the deer were out in force eating fresh grass growing on the side of the road. You had to be careful not to hit any. Long day but really fun hike Peter Attachments ------ Description: start of hike, LaSal mtns ------ Description: Henry mtns in the distance ------ Description: down the old mail trail ------ Description: nice pouroff ------ Description: rock art panel ------ Description: A horse is a horse of course ------ Description: rill creek ------ Description: nice rock pattern _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives

pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7443 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	Nice elk horn shed. We call bull elk with 5 points a "raghorn" as they are usually coming 3 year olds and will be a small 6 point this year. Raghorns are easy to shoot in the rut since they always get their buts beat by the herd bull and just looking for any cow elk they can find that's in heat. Nice rack though since the rodents haven't started chewing on them yet. Maybe James Berhing, Jr. has a knife to fit one of those tips?

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	Thanks guys I am glad you enjoy the photos, I am having the time of my life out here. Pap, James is working on something special for me to be ready at the Blade Show. You might guess what the handle material will be.

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	Cap The horse and several others belong to gentleman who has a gem mine at the base of the mountains and lives there. He packs in supplies on his horses and hasn't been to town in five years. We met him and had a chat on the hike. He makes jewelery with the gems and it is sold in town Peter _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives
