Deer and Elk hunting this year. Early Oct in Northern Utah. We decided to head up the Skyline drive above Bountiful. We had intentions of heading over to Farmington flats, up and over Bountiful peak. It was a great hunt, Cold and roads were horrible but the Mighty Cruiser made it further up the mountain than any other vehicle, (camped at where the road forks off and down into the loop on the front side of the mountain) and I was pulling the pup! The next morning we ended up making it up to the base of the switchbacks. The only people who made it up further were on ATVs. We came close to losing the pup off of a very bad corner, it slid on me, the corner was sloping toward the edge and the trailer just broke loose. we disconnected the trailer and rigged up a bunch of ropes and shackles to bushes and then used the cruiser to pull the trailer back onto the road a little higher up. It definitely was scary but we ended up making it out of the sticky situation in about 45 mins. Lesson learned... I need chains on the trailer tires. They would have prevented the tires from breaking loose so easily. I have larger tires waiting to go on, and I have the same type of chains for them that I have on the cruiser, I just need a new axle and hubs to fit the rims that I have for the tires.
This Pic is horrible but I was trying to get the GPS location to prove how High we made it.
Visibility sucked most of the time. It did end up clearing out later in the day though.
Yes it was worth it! I had the Buck/Bull tag, We didn't see any Elk, some other hunters mentioned they had heard that someone had called in a bull though.
