Boy only Camping Trip

This past weekend the boy's and I went on a Father/Son camping trip to Green River Lakes, in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming. We had a great time.  The boys caught some very nice fish, and we saw an amazing amount of wildlife, including moose, elk, deer and antelope.

Eating is the only reason to take a break from the fishing

We were camping in Grizzly Country.  Food storage is required!  What is the required food storage for grizzly bears?


How about a pup tent with a Dad and his two boys inside?  I think a grizzly would consider that as food storage, don't you?

Sharp Shooter

Ruby and Her New .243

Ruby turns 12 in a few days, and gets to hunt with her dad this year!  We have applied for antelope tags and will find out the results by the end of the month.  Ruby is very petite, and can't quite handle my rifles, so we bought her a new .243 savage in a youth model. It has a synthetic stalk and is very light.  We have went out target practicing the last 3 weekends.  Rubys is going to be a sharp shooter!  She is a natural!  I can't wait to enjoy this year hunting elk, deer and antelope with her!
