All in a Days Hunt

Friday I went hunting with John Cunningham. John is the Safety and Enviromental Manager at Smoky Canyon. We where hunting elk. We finally saw four elk very late in the day, that were very far off. We did not have time to put a stalk on them. however we did see all kinds of wildlife throughout the day.

This beaver was working hard at building a damn in the nearby creek. He was puttting the hurt to several aspen trees.

We saw deer all day along, including these four. We saw several nice bucks. Of coarse deer season is closed in the area we were hunting!

We also saw a few moose, including this cow and calf. Besides the animals above we also saw a couple of golden eagles, a badger and lots of water fowl.

Notice in the last picture Preston doesn't look to happy. Mom says he just got in a little trouble, and she couldn't get him to smile.

Yellowstone Adventure

I am back!

I have spent the last 10 days on an adventure of sorts. Myself and five others went on a pack trip into the Wyoming wilderness. We left from Turpin Meadows, North of Jackson, and packed 28 miles to Hawks Rest, near Bridger Lake, just South of Yellowstone National Park. Our camp was on the Yellowstone River. We took 6 horses and 6 mules. We went to hunt. I had licenses for elk, deer, and black bear.

Taking a Break

This photo was taken near the half way point to our camp. This is near the continental divide, at Two Ocean Pass. This picture is on Pacific Creek. Atlantic Creek is just over the divide. Read here why Two Ocean Pass is so unique!

Falcon Creek is in the background. Falcon Creek is where we did most of our hunting. On the right side (north) of the canyon is in Yellowstone National Park. The left side (south) is where we hunted.

Spotting animals from camp. We saw many elk within the park boundaries. Not many out of the park. Smart are they not?

A Bull Moose Wonders By Camp

This moose is on the banks of the Yellowstone River. I took the photo from our tent.

Enjoying a Dip in the Pool

My brother Jared came for a visit last summer to see some of the country. We came across this Cow and Calf Moose in Diamond Creek. (Caribou National Forest in Southeast Idaho).
