This is a peek into what goes on in the wild that we humans rarely have a chance to see!

Looks like about 8-10 inches last night and the wind piled it up a lot more in places. Ground is still fairly warm so we have slush beneath the snow on roads and drives. it's 22 now and more snow later is likely by the forecast. Ironic that I installed a heat pump when I built the house and we did not even run it 1 time during the summer. I guess It's a good thing we did not just install A/C as I can use the heat pump down to about 25.....

Snow's a blowin and fallin hard with 4-7 inches forecast tonight. Freezing fog with low in the 12-15 range tonight and high temp of 23 forecast tomorrow. It might be that summer and fall are gone from S/E Wyoming? This Global warming sure is killin me!

I know those cows were persistent and a friend had some of them take off a mirror on his vehicle a while back so I did not want that to happen. With that goat in the freezer, and the COLD SNOW and Wind this weekend I am going to be in the garage getting mu elk hunting gear ready to go for Wednesday when I get back from work! The Snowy range near Laramie is where I'm heading and they are supposed to have about 12 inches tonight. Looking fwd to trying my new 1000gram Danners!

Disrespectful! That 370H-SSV just won the Nobel Peace Prize with only 11 days in office to base their decision on. He must be doing something right! Yeah, right! Even his press people asked if it was April 1st cause they thought it was a Joke. As Lark would say, If you voted for this joke 370H-SSV you need to punch yourself in the mouth every day!

And if we are surprised at this backdoor plan, we deserve the liberals that are in office. Fight these things now or we will be imprisoned for much less later.

Scottyboy I think I'll be glad to live vicariously through you on this one! Have fun and don't let them Europeans push the Gold Ol USA around

Elk hunting last year, I had a group of 5-6 of us in the same camp all over an area. Near enough for radio checks. We decided to meet up for lunch after seeing nothing and investigate some shooting we were hearing. After a 90 minute hike we get to a road and hear another shot real close. We walk a bit and find 4 yahoos target shooting. Well we line up our exit and after 2 guys let out bugles 3 of us pop of shots and yell "You got Him" We hoof it over the hill and these yahoos come up the road to about where we shot and our radios crackle with "Hey dave, Was that you?" One of our guys calls back "Joe is that, you? yeah, it was me..." Silence for a minute and Joe answers "where are you" - Oh I got a big bull down in this canyon about 1/2 mile up the road, You got a knife and some rope?" Joe says . " No I don't, where are yours" I lost em" Joe says I guess I can hike back to camp and get some.. Okay, Hurry up though Now the funny part is that Joe actually was the guys name! Anyway, about 30 minutes later as we are still hiking out, we call out to Joe and ask where he is. Joe, Are you about here. I need that rope and knife. Joe says, "almost to the top of the canyon Where are you" I'm almost to the bottom of the canyon, Hey, Do you have any toilet paper? Silence Joe says, "naw, I don't... But I got the knife.." "Joe, I REALLY Need some toilet Paper" Silence.. Joe says "Are you sure you can't wait?" "No way man, I really gotta have some toilet paper." Silence... "Okay, I'll go back to camp and bring some." We laughed so hard we forgot all about the bad hunting day.... I think I'm going to buys some Obama, rainbow "I Love Cowboy" stickers for this year... Simple and if placed correctly could be the gift that keeps on giving...

Leaving a message with the G&F officer or even calling in on the game thief hotline. I had a similar happening about 20 years ago and called, they made a note and I went back out on Jan 1 and made the pickup. Make a note though of who you talk to If the local G&F officer has a problem with it, you've got some proof.

Funny stuff!

I agree it sounds like a bad experience with the G&F and if you could have given him something like 6x7 and 325-340 and right side was .... I would have thought he should have given the benefit of the doubt. The AZ G&F lost me years ago and I'd bet many others before and since. I'm sure there are some good ones too. As for the bonehead taking a shot at something he thought was an elk, he should have learned a major lesson and if he has any self respect he will think twice about better target identification. Stay safe!

Been there done that... It is not fun. Had a nice antelope in my sights about 350yds this morning and just as I am about to shoot, a pheasant busts out from the brush about 3 feet from me , and BOOM I touched the shot and missed. Then 4 more running shots in vain. Try again later I guess. I do have to ask how you could see the bull was in the 340 class but you could not describe it?

really knarly buck! This should be interesting! 118 7/8

That pup is smarter than the congress and half the Electorate.

Joe Wilson did what so many other Americans with any sense did or want to do. I was on the way home from work as the speech was airing and I did not hear Mr Wilson but That may have been because I too was yelling at the lies BO was spewing. Yes, Lies... He conveniently tells the tale but leaves out the critical parts and only feeds the parts of truth that incite liberals and hammer home a few points. But like building a house, if you only hammer home a few of the nails, and leave the others untouched, the project will crumble. BO either has no clue what he is doing or he is masterfully pushing this country to his socialist standards. Either way is not good for the United States of America and her legal Citizens

Beck's message is true as are his intentions (I believe) but emphasized with drama a bit more than my liking. Fact is in this instant gratification world without the drama, a lot of people won't listen. I can listen to him for an hour or so at a time and ususually get the message in 1/4 of that time. Rush's presentation on the other hand is too pompous to take for more than 15 minutes at a time while I agree with most of his assertions as well.

It has all been said! Echo's Great job, nice write up and the classic line about tracking something that can eat you, Taking a lion with bow and no dogs... etc... A Memorable post for sure.

Straight from the the US legislature Floor. Congressman Mike Rogers of Michigan tells us in less than 4 minutes what this bill boils down to for the working and non working public. You owe it to yourself to spend the time watching this and passing it on to those you know. Then keep after your representatives and senators to do the right thing for the country.

Great looking Goat!

I hope I locate something that nice in a couple weeks here in WY. Nice mass prety high up and symetry!

Congratulations! Boy that is something to get 2 of these caliber bucks in consecutive years. They do look like the gene pool is tight in that area. With your success, are you going back to look for the cousin at 100" next year!

Way to go! Just a great buck any way you take it. Archers have my respect for sure!

A great big congratulations to the hunter and Mullins crew. That Bull is awesome and I'm sure you all worked your tails off for him. Thanks for posting the pictures since most of us will likely never see one like that in person!

I saw a story a few weeks ago about a Boxer dog, about 8 months old that ate a comb. They knew something was wrong with the dog, took it to a vet and by the time they x-ray they see the teeth end of the comb in the stomach but the long handle pointy end was poked through the stomach, tore up a lung and was protruding out it's side. The vet had to cut the comb and pull one part out the left side and one part out the right side. The story said dogs at 5-9 months old will eat anything they can get at so you gotta watch them all the time. But a freaking stylist comb, in one piece? A Bread Bag? Makes me wonder it I actually lost that set of car keys? Any teachers out there? When the kid says My dog ate my homework, ask how old the dog is!

Really cool. 3 at once has to be extremely rare. What was your set up? Were you using a blind or a treestand? Did they ever notice you?
