Christmas Greetings From Upper Canyon

The wind is blowin' cold down the mountain, snow is swilling

You can hear the coyote’s winter howl, Toots and Huck listen, but don’t go near.

Horses, wooly and chubby feel frisky in the winter air. 

Big Horn Sheep, Elk and Deer hear the noodle buggy and stay clear

While the home-fire burns a little red elf stands guard with no fear

Clearing the path to get Santa here.   

For soon the lodge will ring out with laughter, eggnog and cheer.

As we look back over the year we’ll bow our heads and give God thanks,

For the UCO family and friends that we hold dear.

As we spend a special Christmas, here on the land that lets us share

All of us at Upper Canyon extended our gratitude and Wishes you a

VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

 This is a great story about Karen's Butlers hunt with UCO:  It gives you a good explanation of what a elk hunt is like.  Whoever said it would be easy.

Hunting Season Going Well

Start of our fourth week of rifle season and we have new snow!  That will really help our hunters.  We are seeing elk still very high and the deer are just now starting to rut.  We have a wonderful group of people this week and we are wishing them the best.  Check out our photos so far this season at https://picasaweb.google.com/uppercanyon/HuntingSeason201102?authuser=0&feat=directlink
