VERNAL SPORTSMEN SECURE FIRST LEGAL ELK ON ASHLEY NATIONAL FOREST
"Owen Hacking and Ernest Caldwell shot the first two elk ever taken out of the Uintah Basin, during the legal season which closed Tuesday.
"When the two successful hunters returned to town Monday morning, a general traffic jam was the result. Curious onlookers crowded about the truck to inspect the prize catch. The two animals dressed out at 575 and 475 pounds. They were shot late Sunday afternoon, November 8, at Carter Creek, without any difficulty, requiring only four shots to bring down both elk, Mr. Caldwell stated...
"The other hunters issued a special elk hunting license permitting them to hunt until November 17 were: Lester Bingham, Edward S. Anderson, Dick Bennett, Roy Boren, Wm. D. Hurst of Manila, F.M. Fenwick of Salt Lake and Francis Johnson of Grantsville.
Exactly fifty percent of the hunters came back with their game.
