On Saturday Rulon and Shirley Jones, Ron and Elaine Terry, Howard and Rose Alen Bracken, joined Charlene and I on an all day ATV ride over the Beaver mountains to Big Rock Candy Mountain, Marysvale, and back to Beaver. We saw some beautiful country, nearly 100 mountain goats, and a small herd of deer that have apparently become rather domestic. Enjoy the pictures.
Our four wheelers on the summit looking south towards Mt Delano. This is the home and habitat for a large herd of Rocky Mountain Goats. They could be seen on several different mountains from here.
A rest stop at the Big Rock Candy Mountain resort on Hwy 89.
This is and old mining cabin on the top of the mountain. Near this spot we ran into a group of hunters with their dogs who were hunting bear.
This is a shot of about 50 goats grazing on a hillside. They were quite an attraction and we were not alone in watching and photographing them.
When we learned of a herd of deer that had come into a neighborhood in Beaver, we decided to check it out. I am trying to take a photo and lure a big buck in for a closeup. It wasn't hard.
They liked apples, but they loved eating grain from your hand. I think I will try this during the upcoming deer hunt. I never knew it could be so easy. We have always made it so hard.
Charlene had this big 3 point eating from her hand.
