See Hundreds of Wild Elk


Hyrum -- You can take a sleigh ride that gets you close to as many as 600 wild elk.

The rides are available four days a week at the Hardware Ranch Wildlife Management Area.

On Nov. 23, about 200 elk were at the WMA. Now that winter weather has arrived, more elk should be visiting the ranch soon.

Hardware Ranch is 17 miles east of Hyrum. Its winter elk viewing season begins Dec. 17. The WMA offers the following during its winter season:


Sleigh rides
Enjoy the sights and sounds of Utah’s state mammal by taking a sleigh ride through a herd of up to 600 Rocky Mountain elk.

The sleigh rides last 20 to 30 minutes. They wind through the center of the elk herd and make occasional stops so you can get a perfect photograph.

During the rides, the sleigh drivers share the history of the ranch and explain why the elk behave like they do. They’re also happy to answer questions you have.

The sleighs are pulled by a team of large-breed draft horses. If snow conditions get poor, the sleighs can be converted into wagons.


Visitor center
In addition to the sleigh rides, the Hardware Ranch WMA also operates a visitor center. The center has interactive wildlife displays and staff who can answer your questions.

When it’s open
The WMA’s winter season should run until Feb. 28. The sleighs are running and the visitor center is open during the following days and times:

Friday – noon to 5 p.m.
Saturday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday – noon to 5 p.m.


The WMA will be closed on Dec. 25.
If you want to take a ride through the elk herd, you must buy a ticket at the visitor center before 4:30 p.m. The last sleigh ride leaves at 4:30 p.m.

The sleigh rides cost $5 for those nine years of age and older, and $3 for those four to eight years old. Children three years of age and younger can ride for free.


How to get there
The Hardware Ranch WMA is located at mile marker 22 on state Route 101 in Blacksmith Fork Canyon. The ranch is about 115 miles north of Salt Lake City (about a two-hour drive). It’s about 17 miles east of Hyrum and 22 miles southeast of Logan.

Good lodging, food and entertainment are readily available in Cache Valley, within 45 minutes of the ranch. The roads up Blacksmith Fork Canyon are usually plowed and sanded by noon each day.

For more information about the Hardware Ranch WMA, call (435) 753-6206 or visit http://www.hardwareranch.com/  on the Web.

Hardware Ranch is a wildlife management area owned and operated by the Division of Wildlife Resources. It provides important big game winter range for elk, deer and moose.
 

Help Needed to Solve Poaching Cases



Book Cliffs -- Seven deer have been poached recently in the Book Cliffs in eastern Utah.

Now officers with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources are asking for your help to find those responsible.

Bryan Clyde, a conservation officer with the UDWR, says a gut pile was found recently about 65 yards up the hill from the bottom of Bitter Creek Canyon. “At the scene were two sets of footprints and drag marks where they pulled the deer downhill,” he says.

Clyde says the animal the pile belonged to was killed on or before Nov. 23. He says a cow elk hunt was happening in the area when the animal was killed. But the size of the gut pile and other evidence indicates the animal the poachers killed wasn’t an elk.

“This was a deer—taken illegally—as the deer season is closed in this area,” Clyde says.

In addition, six other deer have been shot and left to rot in the Book Cliffs. They include a buck deer shot in the Rainbow area (the poacher cut the animal’s antlers off and then left the animal to rot); a buck poached on the Kings Well Road near the Greek Corrals; a buck killed in Three Mile Canyon; a buck poached in Park Canyon; and a doe and fawn killed near Watson.

If you have information about these cases, contact Clyde at (435) 790-4630 or UDWR officer Clint Sampson at (435) 790-2206.
