I noticed "Hunting and fishing is what my family does. However, we got together every yehr-te- n years inarow-n- ot just to hunt, fish but for a sort of a family reunion. In 1992 we started out with just seven family members and in 2002 the number is at 62, which includes family and expanded family from all over the United States. We have people (some are friends of family members) from Utah, Minnesota, Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada and Colorado, said Ferguson. He added, We bring in $100,000 in revenue to the Uintah Basin, and We arrived in a big are convoy and stay at the LC Ranch. The Uintah Basin is a great place. It is far enough away not to be Salt Lake City or Denver, but close enough for access to airports. You can be completely removed from the big city ifyou want to." The group spent five days elk hunting on state, Ute Tribe and private land. "We do all three--a mixture of the areas. We have had a 91 hunter success rate on elk during the past nine years, said Ferguson. "We have gotten some big elk in the past. We work with Sportsmen Against Hunger and church groups to provide elk, deer or whatever for someone in need, whkh is something I encourage. Ferguson and family members plus friends also go snowmobiling, hiking and horseback riding. There arent many places left where after two hourq of driving you are in a place where many recreational activities are available. Some members ofthe grotip make more than one trip out here.
