    Weather

    You all hanging in down there? Hail, tornadoes and now flooding. Chiggers are going to be terrible. I still have family down there and they are safe but some of you have to be facing some weather related issues. Stay safe and hoping you all catch a break soon.

    Big rain

    Checking in with our local folks, did everyone survive the big rain yesterday without too much damage? Our gauge showed 2.87 inches in about 1 1/2 hrs or so. We have some water in the basement but not bad. Casper, Wheatland etc, did you get some big rain too? Really hoping Mullen scar isn't now...

    Poached elk

    Well, found this bull dead on our way up to do a little ranch work. Some idiot shot it from the highway. Sadly , the GW left the head attached but it was gone when we came back by, brazen idiots it seems I guess. Shot once in the neck and once in the antlers. Truck in background just shows...

    Big Boy 2022

    UPRR's 4014 is hitting the rails again this summer. If you haven't seen it take the time. I would recommend going to a smaller town where it will be stopped so you can get up close and personal, so to speak, with the locomotive. You also need to see it running, find a crossing and watch it go...

    Hunting accident

    Anyone hear of the accidental shooting near Mt View I believe ? I know it was somewhere on Western side and it's a real heartbreaker from what I've heard. Prayers to the family involved.

    Last day buck.

    Let me start by stating , we have private access that we worked for many years to build with a landowner. Normally we hunt management bucks but this year had access for any deer, one big buck. Found this guy Friday at dusk checking out some doe. Found him bedded Saturday about 1/2- 3/4 mile from...

    wounded bull

    Had plans for a cow elk hunt but came across this wounded bull. We have limited access on private and part of it is for any wounded animals we see and can take if we have a license. Landowner does not want anything wounded suffering so we oblige if possible. Big surprise when we came across the...

    Camo comparison

    Thought I would do a little experiment. Hung my various camo articles of clothing in front of some cover then back into the cover to see how it looks. I wear a mix of King of the Mountain wool, Core4element, Kryptic camo and some cotton Realtree Max-1 and Mossy oak Brush. Low, cloudy light for...

    Barrasso Wilderness bill

    Thought from non residents on this. I'm wondering of it takes your hunting access away like our other wilderness areas ? Not a big fan here but we'll see. https://www.wyofile.com/draft-barrasso-bill-eyes-new-blm-wilderness-areas-motor-park/
