Beautiful scenery, but yeah, I don't think it ever stops blowing. Probably as challenging as finding elk is getting to WY in the winter. It seems to blizzard in SD every time I try to head west...
Congrats! Had to be fun after dark. :) That is why when I lived in AK we always quit hunting by 5:00pm. Besides the general PITA, didn't want to be dealing with fresh meat, blood, and big toothy critters after dark.
Build points in WY for deer and elk.
Long shot UT elk draw...keep building points there
Black bear in MN
First rifle elk in CO
Whitetail in southern MN in the 'Ten-Acre Wood'. WooHoo!
